Chapter 365
Although Nash had clarified his marital status at a previous York Corporation gala, stating he was married, the public remained unaware. Today, he publicly acknowledged his marriage to prevent further
speculation about him and Miranda in the media.
“This can’t be a joke, Mr. York. Your marriage shouldn’t be such a secret. How come there’s been no news about it?”
“It’s not April Fools’ Day, Mr. York. Please don’t joke around…”
“I am married,” Nash said earnestly. “I’ve never been one for jokes. My wife has been by my side for seven years, and we’ve been married for three. We’ve always been very close. I don’t want any of you to misreport and cause misunderstandings with my wife!”
Miranda’s expression turned somewhat unnatural. Nash publicly acknowledging their marriage was something she had never anticipated. Despite her discomfort, she maintained her composure in front of the cameras, though her fingers tightened in an effort to control her inner anxiety.
Nash had always indulged Miranda, helping her rise in the entertainment industry, but when it came to their relationship, he repeatedly avoided the subject. He might tolerate it once for the sake of the company’s benefit, but publicly humiliating her like this was unexpected and unwelcome.
Attending the awards ceremony was important as a CEO, but Nash did not want to elaborate on anything else. Having said what needed to be said, he left it at that.
Quincy could see that Nash did not want to entertain any more interviews, so he stepped in to shield him. “Give way, Mr. York has had a busy day and needs some rest. Any questions can wait until next time.” Miranda had no choice but to follow him as they left.
“Mr. York, the fact that your wife has been with you for seven years is quite significant. Could you share a bit more about her?” When it came to this topic, the gossipmongers were even more intrigued. Although Nash had already provided specific details about his wife, they were eager to extract more key information directly from him.
They chased after them, hoping to get more information. However, they were intercepted by security. With the car waiting outside, they all got in and closed the door, leaving the reporters stranded outside. Not far away, Penelope watched the scene unfold. She had come to accept interviews from reporters, but they seemed more interested in gossip about Nash and Miranda. Her assistant could not bear to watch and was visibly upset.
She realized Miranda was her nemesis. Ever since Miranda arrived, Penelope’s popularity had declined. How could someone who emerged as a dark horse in the entertainment industry overshadow her? “Penelope, if it weren’t for you bringing her attention, she wouldn’t be where she is today. It’s because of you that this drama gained traction. Everyone was watching because of you!” Her assistant vented her frustration, trying to comfort Penelope.
Penelope interrupted her, not agreeing with her words. “Don’t say that. Miranda’s success as the second female lead is also based on her talent. We have to acknowledge that. Even if we don’t get along, we shouldn’t discredit her efforts. We have to be able to accept defeat gracefully.”
