Chapter 177
She turned off the car engine and waited for Miranda to approach.
Miranda, holding the food she brought, smirked coldly. “Why didn’t you come inside? Feeling uncomfortable seeing Nash and me chatting?”
Nina turned to face Miranda. “Is there something you need?” she asked, meeting Miranda’s gaze as she approached.
“You haven’t answered my question yet,” Miranda replied.
Nina withdrew her gaze and calmly stated, “You know, there’s this feeling of pretending to have something when you actually have nothing. The more you flaunt, the less you gain.” She knew Miranda was trying to mock her, probably just to flaunt in front of her.
Miranda’s expression turned cold, clearly disliking Nina’s composed demeanor.
“You’re pretending to be unaffected, but deep down, you’re hurting. No matter how far apart Nash and I are, he still has a place for me in his heart.
“You know very well that he established the entertainment company for me. When I expressed my interest in acting, he immediately arranged the best roles for me. That’s the best proof of his feelings for me. As for you, Nina, you’re just a discarded pawn in the end. Nash can discard you at any time!”
Nina couldn’t help but clench her fists upon hearing Miranda’s words.
Suddenly, the memory of Nash’s conversation with Zoe came rushing back to her. She realized that she had been nothing more than a pawn in Nash’s game, aiding him in securing shares. She was the sacrificial lamb in their three-year marriage.
Instead of subjecting herself to humiliation and ending up as a discarded woman, she decided to preserve her dignity.
She stared at Miranda with icy eyes as Miranda smirked and said, “I’m here to get rid of trash. Nash doesn’t need unwanted garbage!”
In front of Nina, Miranda then threw the food she had brought into the trash bin. She wanted to show Nina something. She wanted to repay Nina for every injustice she had endured. Miranda also wanted to witness Nina’s sorrowful expression, realizing that she could withstand more than expected.
Nina had endured a great deal in front of Nash, so this was just another moment for her.
“Some things are simply trash, and letting go brings relief. You came at the perfect time. You desire what I no longer want. Since you like the garbage that I don’t want, take it. It saves me another trip!” Nina remained emotionally composed, pulling out a document from the passenger seat and throwing it onto the ground.
Miranda looked at the document on the ground, which clearly stated “Divorce Agreement.” She couldn’t believe that Nina had already signed it. As she gazed at Nina’s scornful expression, it seemed as though Nina was looking down on her, as if she had picked the trash that Nina didn’t want.
How dare she!
Nina observed a change in Miranda’s expression.
At first, Miranda appeared smug, but her face quickly turned sour, as if she couldn’t believe what Nina had done.
Refusing to back down, Nina replied, “Pick it up and give it to Nash. Anything I don’t want now belongs to you!”
With that, Nina drove away, leaving behind a cloud of exhaust that made Miranda cough. She had intended to assert her dominance, but Nina had just humiliated her.
Gritting her teeth, Miranda muttered, “Nina!”
Her assistant hurried out, concerned about Miranda’s agitation. “Are you okay, Miranda?”
Miranda glanced at the divorce agreement on the ground.
Reluctantly, she had to bend down and pick it up. It was the document that symbolized the end of Nina and Nash’s relationship. Miranda needed this document urgently; only after their divorce could she smoothly marry Nash.
Clutching the divorce agreement tightly, Miranda reassured her assistant, “I’m fine. Let’s go back inside.”
Back in the hospital room, Miranda had initially planned to take care of Nash.
