Chapter 49
Her words made Nina pause for a moment.
Using her?
What could she possibly have to be used for?
Someone as clever as Nash, if he were to use anyone, it wouldn't be her.
Seeing Nina hesitate, it seemed she still wanted to know. With her chin held high, Miranda smirked, Don't you want to know what he's using you for?"
Being used seemed far-fetched but she was certain Miranda would try various ways to sow discord.
She turned around, seeing Miranda still smiling, hoping Nina would inquire further. She had no intention of playing into her hands, so she
proceeded as she wished. "You seem more eager than I am to enlighten me."
Miranda's face stiffened.
Dealing with someone like Nina, who didn't play by the rules, truly irritated her.
Nina stared at her directly, her tone cool. "Your aim is to get me to divorce Nash so you can seamlessly marry into the York family, isn't it? Feeling a bit threatened now?"
Miranda subconsciously tightened her fist, trying to keep up her façade. "You two will divorce eventually. I have no reason to feel threatened.
None at all!"
Detecting the anger in her voice, Nina couldn't help but smirk. "If you're not feeling threatened, why bring up divorce every time we meet? You seem more anxious than Nash himself. He has no intentions of divorcing me, which frustrates you. Unable to find a way through Nash, you then turn to me."
"Nina, don't be too conceited. I'm doing this for your own good!" Miranda could never admit to this.
"For my own good?" Nina found it ludicrous, mocking. "You're just making excuses for yourself, trying to find reasons to convince me. Everyone wishes me well, except you, Miranda. Your intentions are misplaced. If you're so eager for me té divorce, look elsewhere. Try Nash and see if he'll divorce me!"
In just a few words, Miranda was infuriated, her chest heaving, tears swirling in her eyes.
In the blink of an eye, Sally couldn't see Miranda, but when she found her and Nina, Nash was right behind them.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Seeing them together, Sally was worried that Miranda would be mistreated, fussing, "Oh my, Miranda, why are you out? You're sick, what are you doing here?"
Miranda's old wound had reopened, now bleeding, her face growing paler by the moment.
As Sally approached, Miranda collapsed into her arms, as fragile as a broken doll.
"Miranda!" Sally was startled, holding her tightly, "What's wrong with you? Oh my, why are you bleeding so much!"
She turned to look at Nina, her anger
rising, launching into a tirade, "Nina, what did you say to Miranda to upset her so much? Are you bullying her behind my back again!

Then, she turned to Nash, scolding, "Look at the wife you married, besides playing these malicious. tricks, what else can she do? She's just a venomous. woman!" Nina had seen through her manipulative tricks, adept at playing the victim in front of others.
She didn't want to bear the
accusation of bullying Miranda, "Mom, if you like Miranda, I can accept it but you also have to responsible for what you say. I

"You're still trying to justify yourself? You knew she couldn't handle stress, yet you said something to upset her!" Sally exclaimed angrily.
Nina retorted, "If she hadn't chased after me, none of this would have happened."
Sally was furious, "Even now, you're still making excuses. You're incorrigible..." "That's enough," Nash said coldly, "Let's take Miranda back."
