CHAPTER 183
CEO
Xander frowned as he continued to smoke. âDonât speak so harshly. If I have money, wouldnât I repay it? Iâll pay you back in the future, as long as you lend it to me.â
âI donât have money to lend you,â Nina replied. âIf thereâs nothing else, I wonât chat with you anymore.â
Nina walked away without even looking back, leaving Xander feeling disregarded. He threw the cigarette on the ground and menacingly said, âNina, donât force me. It wonât look good if things turn ugly!â Nina drove away directly.
She knew exactly what her uncle wanted. Their family was like a bottomless pit-once she gave in, there would be endless requests for money in the future.
Coincidentally, Linda, who was hiding in the corner, witnessed this scene.
Observing Xanderâs frustration and hostility towards Nina, Linda thought of another way.
If Nina were to disappear from this world, no one would threaten her or her unborn child anymore. If she defeated them, she might even be able to secure the position of Mrs. York.
A cold smile played on her lips.
Nina was driving when Yvonne called, so she put on her Bluetooth headset.
Yvonne, who had just finished work, asked, âAre you really divorcing Nash?â
Nina replied, âIâve given him the divorce agreement. After the cooling-off period, Iâll go to the lawyerâs office.â
Yvonne wanted to ask, âDid Nash agree?â
Nina hesitated for a moment. âHe didnât say yes, but he didnât say no either. We agreed to divorce after our three-year contract expires. Itâs an unspoken agreement. He mentioned divorce before, so thereâs no need to wait for his response.â
If she waited for his answer, it would mean she still had expectations, and there was no need to humiliate herself.
âSince you put it that way, I support you,â Yvonne said, sensing Ninaâs mood might not be good. âCome find me later, letâs have some fun.â
âOkay,â Nina agreed. âIâll see you later, in an hour.â
âAlright.â
After that, Nina hung up the phone.
Last time, Nash caused a delay in Ninaâs hospital visit.
This time, she wanted to have a thorough check-up. Being clever, she decided to keep her pregnancy a
secret from most people, so sheet
made an appointment with a doctor at a private hospital in advance. By using the VIP channel, she could ensure more confidentiality.
When Nina arrived at the underground parking lot, she felt a chill in the air. Instinctively, she tightened her clothes around her The dimly lit parking lot made her feel uneasy. She hesitated for a
moment, wondering if today was the
best day to see a doctor
Just as this thought crossed her mind, someone covered her nose from behind. âMmmâ¦â Ninaâs eyes widened as she desperately struggled, but the personâs grip was too strong. There was no one else around, and she had no way of calling for help.
Tears welled up in Ninaâs eyes as she felt terrified and helpless. The effects of the drug started to take hold, draining her strength, and she slowly lost consciousness.
She deeply regretted not listening to
her bad feeling and turning back in time to prevent this from happening. As Nina lost consciousness completely, her phone slipped from her hand. The screen displayed her contacts, but she was already
unconscious before she could make
a call.
An hour and a half passed before Nashâs phone rang. The ringtone echoed through the room, catching Quincyâs attention. He glanced at the phone and informed Nash, âItâs a call from Yvonne, Mr. York.â Nash frowned, showing little interest. âWhich Yvonne? I wonât answer.â
Quincy hesitated briefly, then looked back at Nash. âItâs Yvonne, Mrs. Yorkâs friend. What if itâs regarding Mrs. York?â
As Nina was mentioned, Nashâs expression grew darker, and he responded coldly, âItâs probably just about the divorce. I have no intention of answering.â
