"Head to the hotel and greet the representatives from Jasper Corporation. Then, sort out the lunch spot for today and set up tonight's arrangements at the club," Nash instructed without even bothering to look up."Yes." She could not refuse Nash's orders. After getting the hotel address, Nina planned to head to the underground parking lot to get her car. But just as she was about to open the car door, a hand suddenly grabbed her wrist, startling her. The next moment, she heard Serene's voice."Nina, I'm the one you brought in. Don't you know me well enough? When I ask those questions, there's no hidden meaning. I genuinely want your advice. Can you plead my case to Mr. York?"Serene did not want to be dismissed like this. She waited in the parking lot, ready to humble herself in front of Nina, Quincy, or Nash, hoping they would let her stay.However, Nina was unsympathetic. "Mr. York has already let you go. And you know his temperament. Do you really think he'll reconsider?"Nin
After Stella's remark, she promptly turned her back on Nina. Failing to connect with the Jasper Corporation's representative, Nina promptly reported to Nash, "They've requested your personal presence, citing dissatisfaction with our frequent personnel changes."Nina did not waste time with small talk. If Nash wanted to salvage the partnership, he would have to handle it himself. If not, he could simply ignore it. Meanwhile, Nina could use the opportunity to consult a lawyer.Unexpectedly, Nash directly demanded, "Come back." His tone was low and serious, emphasizing that he was not joking."Okay," Nina replied succinctly.Returning to Nash's side, Nina found him no longer seated at his computer. He stood by the expansive floor-to-ceiling window, a cigarette held between his fingers.Maintaining a strictly businesslike demeanor, Nina inquired, "Is there anything else you need me to do?"Exhaling a plume of smoke, Nash's face remained obscured in the haze. But his voice cut throu
A man dressed in professional attire sat at the computer desk and asked her, "Ma'am, as you've mentioned, you've already made an appointment with the district court. You just need to wait patiently. If your spouse doesn't want a divorce, we can only proceed according to the process."Nina's expression was serious. "I'd prefer it to be done as soon as possible."How much money would you need for me to help you get the divorce?" Nina was anxious. She could not afford to wait for two months.The man observed Nina's reaction keenly. "You're in such a hurry for a divorce. Is your spouse unwilling, or have you found someone else while married?"Nina denied, "I haven't cheated. It's a marriage of convenience, and my spouse has genuine feelings. We're in a secret marriage. I'm just tired of this loveless marriage now. We have no property to divide, no children. I just need to move on with my life."A secret marriage. Those words caught the man's attention. Only elites chose secret marriag
Nina was at the career fair.With the York Corporation label, there was a crowd coming to check it out and submit resumes. She went through them one by one, sending them to Nash, but got no response.Not a single resume caught Nash's eye. It was clear he was intentionally making it tough for her, unwilling to let her leave.Nina felt drained, both physically and emotionally. She made a decision. She would stay here for another hour and collect a few more resumes. If Nash still did not find any suitable, she would give up.It was hot, so she went out to buy herself a bottle of water. As she walked back, with the blazing sun overhead, she felt dizzy. She immediately dared not move forward. She sat on the edge of the flowerbed by the roadside, gasping for breath."Nina." Suddenly, a somewhat uncertain male voice came from beside her.Nina subconsciously looked over and saw Scott, standing beside her in a tall and well-fitted silver-gray suit, slightly bent over.Nina was startled.
Nina fully agreed with him, "You're right, eventually you'll move on naturally. I'm feeling that way right now."However, Scott didn't know how to respond. She was essentially saying she had moved on. Scott fell into contemplation. Had she really given up after all these years of liking Nash?Years ago, when he returned once, he worried about Nina and went to see her. She was in high school at the time, and he secretly watched her from behind a tree. As long as she was okay, he felt relieved. But he saw Nina laughing, her gaze fixed on Nash nearby. At that moment, he thought it was natural for Nina to like someone like him. Nash was a popular figure at school, handsome, and academically successful—someone many girls pursued. Meanwhile, he was overweight back then and didn't have the courage to show up.He looked at Nina, the girl he had liked for many years, and hoped she could be happy."Nina, look here!" Nina turned to see Scott suddenly making a funny face at her. She was take
Nash was in the midst of work when he glanced up, giving her a cold look, then unexpectedly took the documents from her hand. To her surprise, he began to review them. Nina's heart skipped a beat as she heard him say, "These few are good, they can stay." Nash set aside the approved resumes and added, "Have them come in for interviews tomorrow."His prompt decision caught Nina off guard, but she quickly responded, "Okay, I'll call them right away."Nash then said, "If there's nothing else, you can go."Watching Nash's indifferent expression, Nina found him rather strange, but since he had spoken, she had no choice but to leave.However, Quincy entered briskly, "Mr. York, there's been an accident at the construction site in the east of the city!"At Quincy's announcement, Nash frowned and headed out with Quincy. Sensing the urgency, Nina instinctively followed suit.As they exited, Nash halted and glanced back at Nina, then turned his gaze toward Paris's position. "You follow. Ni
"Yeah, you're just afraid that Mr. York will be implicated. Then you will have no legitimate source of income, so you're trying to twist the truth here!"...These folks redirected all their fury at Nina. They charged at her like they were possessed.Paris observed, feeling satisfied. Under her breath, she muttered, "Let them beat her up." It would serve Nina right to get a good thrashing, to learn her lesson.However, Nash grew tense. Struggling against the police officers nearby, he found Nina guarded by another group of officers. Simultaneously, Quincy also made his way toward Nina.In that moment, Nash breathed a sigh of relief and followed the police.Nina immediately approached Quincy and said, "Focus on investigating Mr. Clementi and Serene."Nash publicly criticized Mr. Clementi at the shareholders' meeting and Serene had been by Nash's side recently. These two had the highest suspicion.However, the investigation into this matter did not progress as quickly, and the pu
Mr. Clement stirred up the other shareholders. Now that Nina has spoken up, the other shareholders dared not say anything.Paris initially tried to provoke a conflict between Nina and Mr. Clement, but it did not go as planned. Now, even she was hesitant to speak up.However, with Nash absent this time, it was the perfect opportunity to make a move!---Nina sat for a while, planning to lure the snake out of its hole. She deliberately called Quincy, "I'm going to see Mr. York now. I need to hand over some important evidence to him." As soon as she hung up, Paris walked over to Nina. She asked tentatively, "Nina, I just heard you say you're going to give important evidence to Mr. York. Do you know who framed Mr. York?" Nina nodded, "It's those people from York Corporation." "Whom do you suspect?" Paris continued probing. While Paris continued probing, Nina's suspicions were already set. Since the incident involving Mr. Nash, everyone at York Corp has been worried about whethe
