The two of them tacitly understood each other and did not say much more. Nina returned to her room to pack her things. With Xander’s funeral over, it was time to go back. “Nina,” Julia suddenly walked in.
Nina stopped what she was doing and turned around. “Mom.”
Julia sat down beside her, wanting to talk to her about something. Nina sensed it and sat next to her. “Mom, what’s wrong?”
“This time, Nash came, did not he?” Julia said.
“Yes.”
Julia turned to her. “Weren’t you two talking about divorcing soon? But this time he came over to help you, it doesn’t seem like a divorce. If you’re both planning to divorce, there’s no need to trouble him.” They did not want to owe Nash too much, and it would be unclear how to repay him later. It was not a good situation.
“We came back to our hometown without telling Nash. I’ll thank him later,” Nina said.
“Why does he still want to help you?” Julia did not quite understand. “If you hadn’t told me, I would have thought you married the right person. A secret marriage is fine, too. But now that everyone knows I have a good son-in-law, they’re overly enthusiastic. If it weren’t for Nash, it would not be like this. I don’t understand you two anymore.”
Nina could not understand it either. In a marriage that was meant to be loveless, Nash always treated her affairs as his own. They had been married in secret for three years, and yet as the deadline finally approached, he decided to publicly declare himself as her husband now.
“I just hope you live happily, find a man who loves you. Money doesn’t matter, of course, Nash is excellent in every aspect, but he’s just a flash in the pan after all.”
Nina also understood that her mother did not want her to get further involved in the relationship. “I know, Mom.” Nina smiled slightly. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely divorce him.”
Julia held Nina’s hand, feeling a bit sour. “I’m sorry for you, Nina.”
She had endured this relationship with Nash for so many years, she had long lost any feelings for it.
After Julia left, Nina always felt like someone was standing at the door, hesitating to come in. Lily and Sue were hesitating outside. Sue wanted her to come in, but Lily was somewhat hesitant. “Mom, they’re about to leave. If they go, we’ll really miss out,” Sue said urgently.
Lily replied, “Let me think about it.”

hesitated at the door.
Nina walked out to check the situation and happened to see them hesitating outside. Now, Lily pursed her lips and felt embarrassed to speak.
Sue looked at Nina and called out, “Nina.”
Nina sensed they had something to say. “What’s the matter?”
Sue hesitated for a moment and asked, “The other day when you mentioned my father’s death not being accidental, but that someone tampered with it, we want to know more.” Ads by PubFuture
“Come in and talk.” Nina walked in, let them sit on the sofa, and brewed two cups of hot tea.
“Nina,” Sue said, “I want to apologize for what my mom and I did before.” After all, they had been so rude, and now they were troubling her. They were afraid Nina would still hold it against them and would not help them.
“It’s all in the past,” Nina was not one
to hold grudges. She wanted to find evidence even if it was just testimonial. This person could not continge to do harm. “You can tell me the real business, like about the culprit,” she looked at them.
Sue confessed, “Nina, it was me who told my mom about your detention, that’s why my dad came to find you. He was incited by someone. I saw t that day. My dad and someone else were plotting something. You said the person who incited us is the same one. We don’t know her name,
but we know what she looks like.
Can you still help us?”
