Chapter 160

Nina harbored suspicions and inquired, “Who was it?”
Lily froze momentarily. “I don’t know her name. I didn’t have the chance to ask. She’s a young lady. I was so foolish. How could I believe the words of a stranger?”
Realizing she had been deceived, she cried even harder. Meanwhile, Sue couldn’t bear the onslaught of insults from online users. Her face pale, she exclaimed, “I’m ruined! No company will hire me for an internship now. Nina, please help me. I won’t go to York Corporation for the internship. Please clear my name. I’m not that malicious. How will I face people or find work in the future?”
Both Lily and Sue pleaded with Nina for assistance.
“Nina, I beg you. If not for me, then for your cousin. I’ll kneel if I have to!” Lily understood the gravity of the situation and was willing to humble herself for her daughter’s sake.
Nina remained silent. Being kind to others also meant being cruel to herself.
Witnessing their despair, Julia pulled them away. “Don’t kneel. It’s as if we’re bullying you. You’ve made mistakes and now you have to face the consequences!”
Among the spectators, Linda, who had been observing the unfolding drama, was shocked by Nina’s intervention. Her once pleasant face turned sour. She couldn’t comprehend Nina’s stroke of luck. How could things change so suddenly?
Not wanting to draw attention, she quickly retreated into the crowd.
The reporter realized that her tone had been too harsh and had provoked Nina. Now that she knew the truth, she said, “Ms. Walker, I may have offended you earlier. I didn’t have all the facts, but I’ve already broadcasted them. What happened to you was unfair, and I believe those responsible will be held accountable!”
Changing the subject, the reporter continued, “And regarding the legal actions against me… could you…?”
Nina didn’t bother responding.
Just then, the police arrived and wanted to take people to the police station for questioning.
“Ms. Walker, Ms. Walker,” the reporter chased after Nina. She didn’t want to escalate the situation further, as it would damage her credibility as a reporter. It would also lead to doubts about her future reports, and the station wouldn’t take her seriously anymore.
Nina walked up to the group surrounded by security guards. They held eggs and vegetable leaves, all of the same variety.
They were unaware of Nina’s capability and determination to see things through. They believed that she would simply ignore all the grievances when under pressure. They thought that all they needed to do was throw eggs and leaves.
“Someone hired us to throw eggs. We don’t know the law. We don’t know anything!” They quickly distanced themselves from the situation.
Nina inquired, “Who hired you?”
“It was this young woman. She promised us twenty bucks each if we went and threw eggs!”
Nina furrowed her brows. Another woman. It was highly probable that it was the same person.
Whom had she recently offended? She hadn’t offended anyone!
The street was bustling with people. She was certain that the person would be nearby, observing the commotion.
Her eyes scanned the crowd, then suddenly froze, her expression turning grim.
