Chapter 362

She had heard of Nash and Miranda. As for Stella, she had not heard of her at all.
Stella recalled the past, still finding it romantic. At least, there had not been such exciting moments in her life since then.
“You wouldn’t understand! Nash saved me, and I fell in love with him at first sight. I told him then that I would marry him when I grew up, and he promised. He promised to marry me! That’s our agreement,” Stella declared passionately.
Nina found her words absurd. Wasn’t she just a child back then?
How could a child’s words be taken seriously? Moreover, Stella claiming that Nash had promised her seemed dubious.
Nash probably did not even remember Stella, just like he did not remember her. With so many people Nash had helped, it could not have meant anything to him emotionally.
“You should ask Nash about that. It’s pointless discussing it with me. We still have work to do,” Nina responded, uninterested in Stella and Nash’s story.
However, Stella grabbed her hand, refusing to let her leave. “Not many people know about your marriage to Nash. Isn’t that a hidden marriage? If someone likes you, they would announce it to the world. How could you possibly have a hidden marriage? Nash doesn’t love you at all. You must have schemed your way into it,” Stella accused vehemently.
Nina could not fathom why Stella had become so extreme, gripping her hand tightly. Nina forcefully shook her off. “Let go of me! Stop being unreasonable!” Nina demanded.
“If you won’t speak, then it must be true. You obtained this marriage through cunning means,” Stella retorted, her eyes wide with anger, as if she wanted to devour Nina. “You are truly a stumbling block for me. Not only did you come between me and Eve, but you also took away my man. Nina, you deserve to die!”
Nina found herself retreating step by step under Stella’s pressure. If she weren’t pregnant now, she would not be so cautious, holding back from getting too worked up, and the situation would not have escalated to this extent.
But with the sea behind her, Nina felt a bit anxious. She said, “Nash and I are getting divorced. Once I’m divorced from him, you can do whatever you want.”
“Divorced?” Stella paused, disbelieving, and sneered, “How could you divorce a marriage you worked so hard to get? You’re just trying to fool me.” Backing up to the edge of the shore, Nina asked, “What do you want then?”
Stella’s eyes turned icy cold, yet she continued to smile. “Nina, I’ve realized that you’re my nemesis. As long as you’re around, I’ll never get what I want. Only when you disappear can I finally obtain it!” In that moment, Stella’s thoughts turned dark, contemplating pushing Nina into the sea. With the rough waves today, there might not be a chance for Nina to climb back up if she fell in. “You’re out of your mind!” Nina felt a chill down her spine. “This is illegal! I’ve brought people here, and if something happens to me, you won’t get away with it!”
“Who’s here to witness it now?” Stella found a loophole. “It’s just me. There are no cameras here. If it comes down to it, I’ll just pin it on someone else. Pay them off, and they’ll take the blame for me. Nina, you’re still living in your naive world!”
Seeing no one around and realizing her own companions were likely led away by Stella with various excuses, Nina could not believe Stella would go to such extremes over a promise, willing to take her life. She struggled, careful not to exert too much force to protect her unborn child, and bit down on Stella’s hand.
“Ah!” Stella cried out in pain, instinctively trying to shake Nina off.
