Chapter 1085

작가: Faith Shaw
The secretary was even more panicked than Zoe, quickly dialing Nash’s number, but the line was constantly busy.

"Enough, stop calling. Dial for an ambulance immediately and tell them someone has been drugged."

"Manager Zoe, who’s been drugged? What’s going on? I prepared the tea myself. I didn’t do anything. Please believe me, I really didn’t do anything," the secretary pleaded, clutching Zoe’s hand.

Zoe, overwhelmed, pushed her aside.

A loud noise came from the meeting room.

Zoe rushed over and opened the door. She saw Eugene lying on the floor, having knocked over a chair, writhing in pain.

"Don’t come near me! Damn it, Nash really played dirty, using such a strong drug."

"I… I’m calling an ambulance right now. Hang on!" Zoe stammered. She quickly shut the door and instructed the secretary to call for an ambulance again.

When the ambulance arrived, so did reporters. It seemed they had gotten wind of the situation, and as soon as the paramedics carried Eugene out, the photog

    "Nash, something happened to Eugene here? How could this happen?" Nina pushed the door open and entered the office, seeing Nash reviewing the surveillance footage. In a low voice, she asked, "What’s going on? Wasn’t this your doing?""You think I did this?" Nash asked, his eyes focused on the screen. When he saw a shadowy figure moving near the tea room, he immediately called out to Nina, "Watch closely."He didn’t need to say it. Nina was already fixated on the figure on the screen. There was something oddly familiar about this person. They seemed to know the exact positions of the security cameras, showing only their back to the footage, with a baseball cap hiding any identifying features. Despite this, Nina couldn’t shake the feeling that she knew this person.The footage showed the figure entering the tea room and leaving confidently afterward. Somehow, they managed to avoid being seen by anyone."Does this person look familiar to you?" Nina voiced her suspicion.Nash’s ex

    "This must be your wife, right? You two really look like a couple. Anyone can see it. No wonder your relationship is so strong," Eugene remarked with a look of admiration, which made Nina think of something immediately.After placing the fruit basket she brought on the table, she pulled over a wooden stool and sat by the bed."Having a good relationship isn’t just about looking like a couple. It’s about truly loving each other. You’re such an outstanding person, Mr. Lowe. I’m sure you’ll find the right girl."She didn’t name anyone specifically, hoping Eugene would admit his feelings for Zoe on his own.Eugene wasn’t foolish. He smiled slightly. "I’m afraid I’m not that lucky. I was too competitive when I was younger, and it ruined my luck. Now, it’s time for payback. Maybe I’m destined to grow old alone."Hearing this, Nina wasn’t sure how to respond. "Is this about the incident at our corporation when you were drugged?"She didn’t want to dance around the issue with him, nor di

    When they arrived at the old, abandoned park on the outskirts, Nash finally came face to face with the so-called Mrs. Lowe."She’s the parent of that student who fought with Orion," Nina whispered, surprised that Pharaoh had gone so far as to abduct this person. Had Mrs. Lowe somehow offended Pharaoh?Upon seeing Nina, Mrs. Lowe became extremely agitated. She was struggling to break free and rush toward Nina. Her eyes blazed with hatred, as if she wished to tear Nina to pieces.Nash signaled Pharaoh’s men to remove the rag stuffed in Mrs. Lowe’s mouth."I won’t let you get away with this! I’ll make sure you’re utterly ruined, no—I’ll destroy your reputation and leave you with nothing!" Mrs. Lowe spat venomously.Pharaoh’s men moved to gag her again. However, Nash stopped them and, in a moment of frustration, kicked Mrs. Lowe. She cried out in pain, tears streaming down her face, yet she continued to hurl insults."Meeting you like this wasn’t the right approach, I admit," Nash

    "Mrs. York, what will it take for you to forgive me? I know I failed in raising my son properly. Please, give me one more chance, I beg you," Mrs. Lowe's pleading voice came from behind, but Nina didn’t stop walking.Nash caught up with her, asking with concern, "What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly so upset?"Nina shook her head. "Let her go. Tell her to transfer her son to another school and make sure he never crosses paths with Orion again.""Alright, I’ll handle it right away."Nash could tell that Nina’s mood had soured, and he was sure it had something to do with Mrs. Lowe. Since Pharaoh had already taken action and Mrs. Lowe wasn’t connected to the real Lowe family, there was no reason to hesitate. He decided to deal with her swiftly.Nash leaned in to his subordinate and quietly instructed, "Take her and her family away. Just tell them that my wife doesn’t want to see them again."Pharaoh’s men responded immediately. One knocked Mrs. Lowe unconscious, and the other put he

    "Just wait and see," Nash said with a mysterious smile, then led Nina into the office.The three of them had barely sat down when the secretary knocked on the door and entered, her expression tense. She glanced nervously at Eugene but didn’t dare speak."Whatever it is, just say it," Nash instructed."Michael is downstairs, speaking to the reporters and bad-mouthing Mr. Lowe," the secretary blurted out. However, before she could finish her sentence, Eugene shot up from his seat, ready to confront Michael.Nash grabbed his arm, feigning seriousness as he advised, "You took away his love. What’s a few insults in return? The man’s lost a lifetime of happiness."Eugene paused, then burst into laughter. "Right, right. If that helps him feel better, let him go on. There’s no need to stop him."The two exchanged a knowing look, their silent understanding needing no words.Although the press conference appeared to be forced, it was actually part of Nash's plan all along. He instructed

    Nash looked troubled. "How come I didn’t know that you took my aunt to the hospital? When did this happen? Was something wrong with her, or did you do something to her? Mr. Lowe, you need to explain this clearly. Even if I can’t stand up to the Lowe family, I will get justice for my aunt.""You..." Eugene was at a loss for words. Nash was completely unpredictable, not playing by the usual rules. But then again, Eugene himself hadn’t exactly followed the plan either.Realization dawned on Eugene, and he smirked playfully at Nash. "What if I told you I want to become your uncle? Would that bother you, Mr. York?"His words stunned everyone in the room.Michael erupted in anger, "I won’t allow it!""And who are you to object? What gives you the right?" someone in the crowd responded."Exactly. Look at yourself. I say Mr. York should just agree to it. A strong alliance like that would only help York Corporation rise to even greater heights.""If that happens, it would truly be a ma

    "Miss Nina, it's an honor that I met you before anyone else and that we're together now. Although we've faced many challenges along the way, I've always remembered that you're the one I love. From the beginning until now, that has never changed. There have been rumors that you gained your position as a mistress, and I know those rumors have affected you. I don’t know who started them, but that’s not important. Today, I want to say…"As Nash spoke, pictures of their daily life together appeared on the screen, showing their love and making others envious.Nash took the microphone and stood up, pulling a bewildered Nina to her feet."Nina, they don’t know how amazing you are. They think you married up by being with me. But I know the truth that I'm the one who’s lucky. Being loved by you is the greatest honor of my life. People don’t know how we met and fell in love. But you know, don’t you?"Nash’s eyes grew misty. What had started as a way to address the rumors about Nina being a mi

    Zoe arrived at the hotel as planned, only to find that Eugene was the only one there. Just as she was about to leave, she received a message from Nina.Nina wrote, "Things are already out in the open. If you really don’t have any feelings for him, you should be clear about that tonight. But if you have even the slightest interest, maybe you should give it a chance. Who knows? He might turn out to be the right one for you."Being given advice by someone younger left Zoe feeling both amused and a bit annoyed. But Nina had a point. Eugene wasn’t a bad person.She decided to stay, thinking, "Might as well treat it as getting to know a new friend."With that thought, she confidently sat across from Eugene and said, "They probably aren’t coming. Mr. Lowe, do you mind if I apologize on their behalf?""That’s not necessary. Honestly, I wasn’t looking for an apology. I just wanted to see you, nothing more," Eugene replied, his eyes betraying his calm tone.Tonight, Zoe seemed even more be

    But Wilfred wouldn’t bother explaining. In fact, he thought it was better to let the misunderstanding linger. The nurse glanced at Karina, then back at Wilfred, her face twisting with humiliation before she turned and fled the room. Karina instinctively stepped aside, avoiding a collision. “For a moment there… I thought I was interrupting something,” she hesitated, her tone uncertain. She couldn’t deny the relief she felt after Wilfred’s firm stance. The suffocating feeling, like someone gripping her throat, had finally dissipated. Her breathing steadied, though a lingering bitterness remained in her chest. She couldn’t help but wonder why the nurse had acted that way. Wilfred looked at her briefly and explained, “I don’t know her. She knocked and let herself in. And not long after, you walked in.” Karina’s expression softened significantly. “Maybe it has something to do with the rumors going around the hospital recently.” Wilfred frowned. Though he said nothi

  • CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery   Chapter 1823

    Even though Karina dismissed the situation lightly, it didn’t stop the rumors from spreading around the hospital. Gossip sprang up out of nowhere, speculating that she had a personal relationship with Wilfred and had only gotten her opportunity through backdoor connections. The details were so vivid, it almost seemed believable. Yvette was furious. “Seriously? If they’re jealous, they should just admit it. Why do they have to sneak around and spread petty rumors behind your back?” Karina, however, remained calm and even comforted her. “Don’t be upset. Here, have some tea to soothe your throat.” She handed Yvette a cup of tea from a recent online purchase. It was advertised as premium oolong tea, though she wasn’t sure how good it really was since she hadn’t tried it yet. This seemed like the perfect chance to give it a taste. Yvette, coaxed into it, took a sip. Smacking her lips, she suddenly realized something was off. “Hey, they’re talking about you! Aren’t you even a l

    Karina stood frozen in shock, just like everyone else. She didn’t snap out of it until Wilfred gently pulled her aside, her cheeks glowing bright red. Noticing her flushed face, Wilfred gave her a meaningful look and casually asked, “Why is your face so red? Are you running a fever?” As he spoke, he reached out toward her forehead. Karina panicked and quickly dodged him. She wasn’t sick. She just knew that if he touched her, her face would turn an even deeper shade of red. “I’m fine. Maybe it’s just the heat and humidity,” she mumbled, fanning herself as if she were uncomfortably warm. Wilfred watched her, clearly seeing through her little act but choosing to keep his amusement to himself. He recalled Xavier’s suggestion to take the initiative. What a brilliant idea. That evening, Karina put her skills to the test and prepared a platter of garlic butter crab. Wilfred happily indulged, eating several pieces with obvious enjoyment. *Wilfred quickly settled into his

    Wilfred paused for a moment after hearing Karina’s suggestion, then nodded. “Sure. Let me grab my coat.”Karina didn’t think much of it at first. But when they arrived at the house, she realized it was the same one he had been borrowing last time. Surprised, she asked, “Weren’t you just renting this from a friend? You’re still staying here?”“Not renting anymore,” Wilfred replied casually, his eyes flicking toward her, a rare glimmer of something unspoken in them. “I bought it from him.”Karina didn’t catch the look. She didn’t know much about Wilfred’s circle of friends, nor did she pry.Inside, the same housekeeper from before greeted them. Familiarity made her more relaxed this time, and she didn’t try to stop Karina from stepping into the kitchen. But halfway through the preparations, Karina discovered a problem—no gas, and the fridge was nearly empty.The housekeeper smacked her forehead. “Oh no, I forgot to restock! I’ll run out and grab some now.”“No, we’ll go,” Wilfred i

    After Yvette finished her rant, she finally got to the point.Karina learned that Dr. Lincoln had transferred out, leaving a vacant spot for a new director at the hospital.“So someone new is being transferred in,” she mused, absentmindedly nibbling on her pen. “I wonder who it could be.”But even Yvette, the self-proclaimed hospital gossip queen who usually knew everything, was stumped this time.“For once, I’ve got nothing,” she admitted, crossing her arms. “But I’ll bet you anything—they must have serious connections. Someone like that doesn’t just fly under the radar.”Karina just shook her head. Gossip wasn’t really her thing. She usually listened and moved on without a second thought. This time was no different. To her, it didn’t really matter who the new director was. After all, what were the odds it would be someone she knew?She would soon find out just how wrong she was.Not only did she know the new director, but she knew him very well. On his first day, Karina

    Hearing Wilfred’s suggestion, Karina was stunned for a moment. After some careful thought, she shook her head. “No, I’d rather not.”Now it was Wilfred’s turn to be caught off guard.“Switching back and forth isn’t a solution. Looking back, I shouldn’t have left in the first place. Were those people really capable of doing anything to me? Probably not. I just wanted to avoid trouble,” Karina said slowly.A person’s family would have a way of shaping their personality, and Karina’s upbringing with the Stone family had left her overly cautious—afraid of causing trouble or confronting conflict. But now, after everything she’d been through, she wasn’t scared anymore. Trouble was just trouble. She could handle it. “I’ll face whatever comes my way,” she added. “If it’s a challenge, I’ll rise to it.” When she shared her thoughts, there was silence on the other end of the line. Worried she might have disappointed him, Karina hesitated. “Did I let you down?” “No.” Wilfred’s quiet

    Karina heard Harley’s parting word, but she didn’t stop walking. She already had someone like Wilfred who dared to stand up against authority. She wasn’t alone in her fight. When she returned, Yvette bombarded her with questions about her visit to the association. Karina chose to gloss over certain details, recounting only the less controversial parts. Even that left Yvette in awe. "You actually turned them down? You really did? Gosh, I admire you!" Yvette exclaimed.Karina swatted Yvette’s exaggerated thumbs-up. "Cut it out. I’m barely holding it together. I was so nervous."Yvette’s face twisted in mock disappointment. "You? Nervous? Where’s all that boss energy you walked in here with?""Boss energy? More like trembling cowardice," Karina retorted with a wry smile. "I was barely holding my knees steady in there."“No wonder people used to bow down to authority back in the day,” she thought. Standing her ground in front of someone like Professor Zeller had been nearly impos

  • CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery   Chapter 1817

    Karina wasn’t naive enough to take Professor Zeller’s words as a compliment. Given his position and history with Wilfred, it was far more likely he was testing her or subtly undermining her. Still, Karina knew how to hold her ground. “So, Professor Zeller,” she began calmly, though her nails were already digging into her palms, leaving crescent-shaped imprints. “Why exactly did you call me here? I have responsibilities back at the hospital, and I’d prefer not to waste time.” Professor Zeller raised an eyebrow, his lips curling into an amused smirk. “You’re quite fond of your current job, aren’t you?” “Yes, I am.” Karina’s voice was steady, though her body was tense. She couldn’t afford to offend him—not someone with his influence. Zeller studied her in silence for a moment, then tilted his head with a thoughtful frown. “There’s something familiar about you... but I can’t quite place it.” Karina blinked, caught off guard, but before she could ask, he shook his head. “N

    If Harley had never seen Karina’s genuine smile, perhaps he wouldn’t have noticed. But he had seen how she smiled at Wilfred, so radiant and pure it could light up a room. In contrast, her cold indifference toward him was painfully stark.Sliding the key into the ignition, Harley glanced at her through the rearview mirror. “Can’t you at least crack a smile? All this frowning—it’s hard to look at.”Karina didn’t even bother turning her head. “I’m a doctor, not here to provide entertainment. If you’re that desperate for a smile, hit up a bar tonight. You can pay someone to grin at you all you want.”Harley froze, his expression darkening ever so slightly. For a moment, he was genuinely at a loss for words. Apart from Wilfred, no one else had ever managed to leave him speechless quite like this.Karina remained oblivious or perhaps indifferent to the fact that she had joined Wilfred in Harley’s mental list of thoroughly disliked people. And even if she knew, it wouldn’t have fazed her
