Chapter 183

Xander frowned as he continued to smoke. “Don’t speak so harshly. If I have money, wouldn’t I repay it? I’ll pay you back in the future, as long as you lend it to me.”
“I don’t have money to lend you,” Nina replied. “If there’s nothing else, I won’t chat with you anymore.”
Nina walked away without even looking back, leaving Xander feeling disregarded. He threw the cigarette on the ground and menacingly said, “Nina, don’t force me. It won’t look good if things turn ugly!” Nina drove away directly.
She knew exactly what her uncle wanted. Their family was like a bottomless pit-once she gave in, there would be endless requests for money in the future.
Coincidentally, Linda, who was hiding in the corner, witnessed this scene.
Observing Xander’s frustration and hostility towards Nina, Linda thought of another way.
If Nina were to disappear from this world, no one would threaten her or her unborn child anymore. If she defeated them, she might even be able to secure the position of Mrs. York.
A cold smile played on her lips.
Nina was driving when Yvonne called, so she put on her Bluetooth headset.
Yvonne, who had just finished work, asked, “Are you really divorcing Nash?”
Nina replied, “I’ve given him the divorce agreement. After the cooling-off period, I’ll go to the lawyer’s office.”
Yvonne wanted to ask, “Did Nash agree?”
Nina hesitated for a moment. “He didn’t say yes, but he didn’t say no either. We agreed to divorce after our three-year contract expires. It’s an unspoken agreement. He mentioned divorce before, so there’s no need to wait for his response.”
If she waited for his answer, it would mean she still had expectations, and there was no need to humiliate herself.
“Since you put it that way, I support you,” Yvonne said, sensing Nina’s mood might not be good. “Come find me later, let’s have some fun.”
“Okay,” Nina agreed. “I’ll see you later, in an hour.”
“Alright.”
After that, Nina hung up the phone.
Last time, Nash caused a delay in Nina’s hospital visit.
This time, she wanted to have a thorough check-up. Being clever, she decided to keep her pregnancy a secret from most people, so she made an appointment with a doctor at a private hospital in advance. By using the VIP channel, she could ensure more confidentiality.
When Nina arrived at the underground parking lot, she felt a chill in the air. Instinctively, she tightened her clothes around her. The dimly lit parking lot made her feel uneasy. She hesitated for a moment, wondering if today was the best day to see a doctor.
Just as this thought crossed her mind, someone covered her nose from behind. “Mmm…” Nina’s eyes widened as she desperately struggled, but the person’s grip was too strong. There was no one else around, and she had no way of calling for help.
Tears welled up in Nina’s eyes as she felt terrified and helpless. The effects of the drug started to take hold, draining her strength, and she slowly lost consciousness.
She deeply regretted not listening to her bad feeling and turning back in time to prevent this from happening. As Nina lost consciousness completely, her phone slipped from her hand. The screen displayed her contacts, but she was already unconscious before she could make a call.
An hour and a half passed before Nash’s phone rang. The ringtone echoed through the room, catching Quincy’s attention. He glanced at the phone and informed Nash, “It’s a call from Yvonne, Mr. York.” Nash frowned, showing little interest. “Which Yvonne? I won’t answer.”
Quincy hesitated briefly, then looked back at Nash. “It’s Yvonne, Mrs. York’s friend. What if it’s regarding Mrs. York?”
As Nina was mentioned, Nash’s expression grew darker, and he responded coldly, “It’s probably just about the divorce. I have no intention of answering.”
