“Nash.”
Sue thought it would be wiser to approach Nash rather than Nina. He held more influence in the matter. “Nash, I’ll be starting my internship in a month. Could I possibly intern at your company? I’m currently without a place to go temporarily. I just need the internship completion certificate; it won’t disrupt your affairs.”
Lily added, “We’re Nina’s close relatives. Please assist her so she can secure a good job in the future.”
Nina furrowed her brows. This seemed like taking advantage of Nash being her husband, attempting to gain from him. It was one thing to benefit from their family before, but now they wanted to benefit from Nash as well.
She couldn’t help but glance at Nash, concerned that he might form a negative opinion of her family, especially given that it was their first encounter and things were already turning out this way. Moreover, her relationship with Nash wasn’t intimate enough for him to be responsible for managing the entire Walker family’s affairs. It was also dragging her down.
Nina knew all too well that if she allowed this once, it would likely become a recurring issue. So, she politely interjected, “Lily, that’s not how things work. Whatever Nash possesses is his own, and he’s not obligated to assist you. Please refrain from pushing this further and putting him in a difficult position!”
Lily shot her a look. “We’re not asking you. We’re asking him. Oh, I get it now. You married him to pay off that two million debt, didn’t you?” She glanced at Zion. “Zion, this is your fault. You have such a great son-in-law, and you didn’t inform us. If you had, we wouldn’t be so troubled now!”
Zion had never been so embarrassed. He didn’t know where to put his face. “Lily, you’re going too far, and don’t even think about taking advantage of Nash!”
Lily continued speaking in her flattering manner, “Oh, come on, we’re all family here. Nash won’t mind. Helping out a bit when family members are in trouble is perfectly fine. For Nash, parting with some money is as effortless as plucking a hair. It couldn’t possibly be too much, right?”
She turned to Nash. “Isn’t that so, Nash?”
Nash remained silent, his gaze fixed on Nina only.
Everything depended on her decision. When it came to matters concerning the Walker family, he wouldn’t hesitate to lend a hand if she gave the word.
However, if she didn’t approve, that
was a different story. Nina was afraid that Nash would know too much about their family’s dirty laundry, and she didn’t want Dily to make such distasteful remarks.
“Lily, your presence is unwelcome here. Please leave!” Nina attempted to gently guide Lily out, but Lily stood her ground. “Nina, how rude of you to chase someone away!”
“Nina, I haven’t talked much with Nash yet. Please don’t do this,” Sue added.
“Please, just go. Zion needs to rest. If he doesn’t get some soon, all of this will wear him out!” Julia chimed in, pushing for their departure.
Lily turned to Nash. “Nash, I’m not asking for much. I just want to repay what her uncle, Xander, owes…”
As the door closed, finally muffling
their voices, Zion let out a heavy
sigh, his headache intensifying. He
looked at Nash and murmured,

embarrassment.”
He couldn’t bear to let Nash help them anymore. Even the grandest fortune would eventually collapse.
Nash remarked, “Dad, if you’re putting it that way, it seems like you’re drawing a line between us. If there’s trouble, count on me to help.”
Nina retorted sharply with her sour expression, “This doesn’t concern you, especially my aunt’s issues!”
Nash glanced at Nina and softly replied, “Okay, I’ll follow my wife’s lead.”
His words surprised Nina, leaving her uneasy, especially in front of her parents.
