This struck a chord with Linda. Nina's fondness for Nash made it difficult for Linda to comprehend how she could bear to divorce him.
Could it be that Nina was trying to confuse her and lower her guard? Nina had previously cautioned her against developing an infatuation with Nash, yet it seemed that Nina herself had developed feelings for him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith a child on the way, Linda worried that Nina might plot against the child in the future.
Feeling apprehensive, Linda held her belly tightly. She was determined not to let Nina succeed and harm her child.
Observing Linda's expression, Miranda decided to end the conversation. "You should rest well. Remember to drink the soup; it's good for the baby. I'll leave now." With that, Miranda walked out, a faint smirk playing on her lips. Linda felt unsettled by Miranda's words. She knew she had to take action. Suddenly, she thought of Nina's aunt and cousin. She wondered how they were doing.
Nina had just finished giving her statement at the police station when Xander appeared at the door.
"Nina!" Xander didn't resemble his brother, Zion, much. Approaching fifty, his face was pale with a few wrinkles. He stubbed out his cigarette and crushed it underfoot before questioning, "Where's your aunt?" Nina didn't have a close bond with this uncle. They hadn't been close since childhood. Her aunt often spoke negatively about her in front of her uncle, causing discord. He remained indifferent to her and never showed any affection.
When she was young and living with her grandparents, her aunt believed they favored her more and neglected Sue. This created resentment in her aunt's mind. Because of this belief, her uncle rarely showed concern for them. Nina felt detached from him and replied calmly, "I don't know. You can ask the police." "I heard from Sue that you sent your aunt to jail. She treated you well. Is this how you repay her?" Xander's tone was full of anger.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNina responded, "It's a matter of fact. If she hadn't done anything wrong, she wouldn't be in there.
Didn't Lily say you were avoidindebt? How can you stand hereby the police station and not fear getting arrested?" Xander, seeing her lack of remorse, finally saw her true colors. His face darkened. "Our family has been ruined because of you. How can I not intervene? You better release your aunt." "She'll only be detained for a day. She'll be released tomorrow." Xander had been a troublemaker in his youth, and it seemed not much had changed as he reached middle age. With their relationship completely strained, Nina stated, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now." "Wait!" Xander called out, turning towards her. "I heard from your aunt that you married into a wealthy family." Upon hearing this, Nina furrowed her brows.
"Now that you're married to wealth, you should share sof it," Xander approached her, speaking boldlyn ix "Don't blme for bringing up our family ties. When you were young and living with our grandparents, you relied onfor support. Now that you're grown up and have money of your own, it's tto repay me."
"I don't need much from you, just one million," Xander lit another cigarette.
"The York family is incredibly wealth and you've made quite a fortune for yourself over the years. One million is a small sum for you." QUMS
Nina had anticipated this. Her uncle was even greedier than she hadm imagined. She turned to him and E said, "One million? That's extortion." "I'm in a tough spot and need money," Xander replied. "Once I have the money, I'll repay you too." Nina retorted, "Have you repaid my father his money?" X
