âNo, thatâs not what I meant. You donât know me at all? How could I blame you?â Nina clenched her fists, then released them. âItâs just that this marriage was a contractual one from the beginning. âWhat?â Yvonneâs eyes widened in shock as she stood up. âYou never told me about this. Why would Nash have a contractual marriage with you? This doesnât make sense!â
Nina explained, âIâve told you before, Nashâs
grandfather had a liking for me, so he arranged for me to marry Nash. And I only agreed because I had no other options at the time.â
At that moment, Yvonne hadnât fully grasped the situation. She knew Nina liked Nash, but Nina had never considered marrying him despite harboring that crush for so long. How could she suddenly end up marrying him? Now she understood there was a reason behind it.
âGive me a moment to process this,â Yvonne said, still trying to recover from her shock. âYou and Nash had a contractual marriage, and it was orchestrated by his grandfather. Nash doesnât even like you, yet he followed his grandfatherâs orders. and married youâ¦
âBut this doesnât make sense. Is Nash the kind of person who listens to his family? Besides, he still has feelings for Miranda. Why would he obediently

marry you?â Yvonne scratched her chin, sensing there was more to the story.
âIâve thought about it too. My marriage with Nash was a three-year contract. When the time is up, Iâll divorce him.â
âAnd that time is approaching,â Yvonne felt even more suffocated. âYouâre still married now. If the marriage ends, wonât Miranda give you a hard time? If you divorce, and youâre still Nashâs secretary, now that sheâs become Mrs. York, wonât she bully you to death? No, no, this canât happen!â
Just thinking about it terrified Yvonne.
Nina smiled, âWhy would I let her bully me? Do you really think I wouldnât leave Nash if we divorced?â Yvonne asked, âHave you made up your mind? Will you leave Nash once the divorce is finalized?â
Nina took a sip of her tea. âLike what you said, I need to move forward. I love Nash so deeply, marked by submission and compromise, because Iâve never considered other men. Once I start considering other men, Iâll realize there are many who are better than him. Then Iâll definitely regret my decision.â
Yvonne also breathed a sigh of relief. Her frustration stemmed from Ninaâs continued relationship with Nash. If he were to betray her, Yvonne felt he wasnât even deserving of being called a decent human being. If Nina could see through his actions and distance herself, then Yvonne wouldnât have to worry about her anymore.

âItâs great that you can think like this,â Yvonne said. âLet Nash cry with regret.â
Yvonneâs mood improved. After finishing their tea, they went shopping.
âTomorrow is the York Corporationâs Gala, and there will definitely be many people. Dress up nicely; Nash can buy Miranda a gown, but hey, Iâll get one for you too. Youâll stun everyone there. Itâs a one-time opportunity, youâve got to shine.â Yvonne wished she could slap Miranda right now and make her the object of public scorn.
Nina usually followed the rules, but this time she wanted to change. âIâll follow your lead,â she said.
Yvonne grabbed her hand, ready to head to the high
end dress store.
âBut I wonât use your money,â Nina added.
Yvonne frowned. âWhy are you being polite with me?â
Nina smiled. âNash gave me a card. Spending his money makes me even happier. After being married. to him for so long, he should let me enjoy some. benefits, right?â âYouâre right!â
arrogant.
As they arrived, they heard a loud, from inside the store, âMake sure the gown fits perfectly. Our Miranda is the future Mrs. York!â
