Chapter 269
“All this scheming, it could be made into a movie. Truly astounding!”
Nina no longer paid attention to the comments online. She knew that once the evidence was out there, as long as she could prove her innocence, how it fermented online was irrelevant to her. Since she was staying at Riverside Estate, she had left some items there. She gathered what she needed and left behind what she did not. There was not much to pack, and she was done quickly. Just as she opened the door, she saw Nash standing at the doorway. His gaze fell on the items in her hands, and his expression instantly clouded over, becoming stark and cold.
“I was going to show you those things, but the comments online were too harsh. I just needed to prove my own innocence.”
Whether Miranda was truly framing her or if she had been poisoned by someone else but mistakenly attributed it to her, everything else seemed irrelevant now that she had proven her innocence. Even if Nash was angry, there was nothing she could do.
Nash was not interested in the online comments. He had not even looked at them. What he noticed was the items Nina was carrying and the words she spoke.
“Nina, do not test my limits here,” Nash said coldly.
Nina, thinking he was defending Miranda, responded coldly, “How is proving my innocence crossing your line? Is it because this matter involves Miranda?”
She had cleared her name, and the public thought Miranda was orchestrating her own drama, but that was the public’s opinion, not something she instigated. How did that relate to her? Nash’s dark expression said it all.
Although Nina felt pain inside, she knew that sooner or later she and Nash would part ways. And she was clear about one thing which was the pain would only be temporary.
Nash’s lips were pressed into a thin line as he took the small bag of belongings she had packed from her hands, his tone icy: “Go back to your room.”
He was forbidding her from leaving!
Nina was emotional and said, “I made it very clear in the car that we are only in a contract marriage. Beyond that, we have no further ties.”
In other words, she could leave, and Nash had no right to stop her.
The next second, Nina reached for the things in Nash’s hand, “Nash, this is actually for the best for you too. Aside from saving face, our marriage has never been made public, so no one will know if we divorce.”
Even if Miranda knew, she would not be foolish enough to expose it, especially since their divorce would actually be beneficial for her.
Nash frowned, “Are you determined to divorce me?”
“Yes.” Nina did not hesitate. It was better a short pain than a long one.
Additionally, while she wanted to keep the baby, she did not want this child to link her and Nash any longer. This was her child, not something she wanted to share with Nash.
Nina looked up at Nash, her voice cold: “Nash, let’s book an appointment at the district court. Avoiding legal proceedings is the best outcome. Otherwise, it will end very ugly for both of us.” Nina could already imagine that scenario.
Nash smiled, “Do you think I would allow that to happen?”
Nina threw the question back at him, “Do you think I will keep compromising?”
