CHAPTER 157
CEO
Nina went downstairs and found reporters conducting interviews at the entrance. Lily and the others were tearfully recounting their ordeal while being surrounded by cameras.
Sueâs eyes were swollen from crying as she addressed the lens, saying, âThank you all for your concern. With your support, I believe justice will be served soon!â
âWhat justice?â Nina approached with a stern face, disliking their dramatic display. She questioned them directly, saying, âDo you think shedding a few tears in public will make me afraid? Do you believe you can manipulate me?â
They all turned to look as Nina fearlessly approached. Realizing the situation, Lily immediately burst into hysterical tears and pointed at Nina, saying, âNina, you have no conscience! Iâm your aunt, yet youâre so heartless and indifferent to our plight. Since you were young, weâve treated you like our own and have never mistreated you. How could you treat us like this?â
âNina,â Sue said, looking directly at her. âHave you suddenly developed a conscience? As long as you acknowledge me and my mom, we can put the past behind us. Thereâs nothing a family canât overcome.â The reporters noticed Nina and approached her with microphones in hand. âMiss Walker, can you confirm that these two individuals, one being your cousin and the other your aunt, are indeed part of your family?â
Unfazed by the presence of the camera, Nina calmly replied, âYes.â
Her statement triggered an onslaught of comments.
âShe admitted it, so it must be true. And she has no shame about it. This Nina is a heartless brat!â
âWe should never forget where we come from. Just because sheâs successful now doesnât mean she can abandon her own family, especially an aunt who supported her education since childhood. Itâs as if her education was in vain.â
âJust listening to this is infuriating. I was raised by my aunt and uncle, so I can completely relate. I would never do something as shameless as her!â
âLetâs report her, get her fired from York Corporation, and teach her a lesson!â
âWell, now that we know where she is, letâs go throw black paint on her!â
Unable to see the comments, Nina only wanted to clarify one thing. She added, âThey are indeed my aunt and cousin, but both of them are lying!â
Lily retorted, âYouâre spouting nonsense. I never lied. How dare you accuse us of mistreating you since childhood? Your uncle spoiled you the most. When he needed assistance, you turned a blind eye! If you hadnât interfered, our family wouldnât be in this mess!â
They were always quick to pinpoint faults in others, but when they made mistakes, instead of rectifying them, they shifted blame onto others.
Nina glared at them coldly and
asked, âWhat did I interfere with? You owed money, couldnât repay it, and came to me for help. When I declined, you threw tantrums,
resorting to every trick in the net
book.
Do you think mere words make it
true? Everything requires evidence. If itâs just baseless claims, you will face legal consequences.â
She then shifted her gaze to the reporter. âMiss, youâre probably not new to the industry. You understand this principle, right?â
Her words were directed at both Lily and the reporter. One should not believe everything they hear. With such biased reporting, she could already file a lawsuit against them for the negative impact they caused her!
The reporterâs expression changed slightly. She didnât want to cause any trouble, so she smiled and said, âAs reporters, we value facts. We only report on things that are witnessed by netizens and supported by evidence.â
âThatâs good to hear!â Nina smiled back and continued, âThe truth is, theyâre lying. I have parents who have always been good to me. They raised me and provided for me. Why would rely on others to pay for my education? Donât you find it absurd when you hear them say such things?â
âYour family went through a tough time, and we helped you, right?â Lily countered. Now that youâre doing well, your family doesnât care about ours anymore. If you would just give us a little help, our family could get back on track. But youâre not willing. Itâs clear that you donât consider us family!â
