CHAPTER 76

Chapter 76

Nash’s sudden announcement left everyone in the room stunned for a considerable time.

Married?

Was this something they were supposed to hear?

Miranda’s face instantly drained of color, her eyes welling up with tears as she fixed her gaze on Nash. It felt as though a sharp blade had pierced her heart, her hands instinctively balling into fists. He actually admitted to being married in front of so many people!

This dealt a heavy blow to her, nearly causing her to lose her balance, but fortunately, Sally beside her managed to support her.

Nina glanced up at Nash once more, her hands tightening involuntarily. She didn’t know what he was thinking or why he would admit it in front of so many people.

It left her feeling a bit confused.

She couldn’t react for a moment, feeling nervous at the same time.

What came to mind were the words Nash had said on the night of their marriage, that if anyone found out, she would pay the price.

It all felt surreal.

Others were stunned for several seconds before regaining their composure, with someone saying, “Mr. York indeed keeps things well hidden. He didn’t even tell us about his marriage. I wonder who it could be.”

Nash remained expressionless. “My wife prefers to keep a low profile and avoids public appearances. She calls the shots. If she doesn’t want to be seen, then I’ll respect her wishes.”

Nina furrowed her brow, then eased. Was he directing this at her? If she wanted their relationship to remain private, he could respect that. But he clearly wasn’t inclined to do so initially. If that was the case, why reveal his marriage now?

Previously, Nina was confident she understood Nash, believing she knew him inside out. But in this moment, she couldn’t recognize him at all.

Seeing you being so devoted to your wife and leading such a happy life, we won’t pry any further!” They chuckled./Congratulations!” Sally’s demeanor was noticeably forced. She plastered on a smile, despite publicly acknowledging Miranda as the future Mrs. York just moments ago Nash’s revelation dealt a significant blow, leaving her unable to save face.

She felt a sense of injustice deep within, deeming Nash too impulsive and hotheaded. Why would he reveal this at such a critical juncture?

Meanwhile, Miranda sat in the dressing room, crying bitterly, utterly heartbroken.

The assistant was clueless about the situation. “Miranda, that store manager is out of line. I’ll inform Mr. York.”

With a loud crash, Miranda sent everything on the table flying, her gown tumbling to the floor. She cried out hysterically, “Why, why, why treat me like this!”

For days, she had boldly spoken out in front of the media, and everyone had heard it. He didn’t step forward to refute it. She thought Nash would silently approve, but his denial today made her a laughingstock in public.

The assistant was shaken by her emotional outburst and didn’t know how to react.

Sally entered, seeing her genuinely upset and in tears. She tenderly consoled her, “Oh, my dear, why are you so impatient? Such a trivial matter has you unable to cope?”

Miranda broke down in tears, turning to Sally. “Nash has changed. He’s only being so heartless to me because he’s fallen for Nina.”

Sally patted her back and consoled her, “What nonsense are you talking about? Is Nash the kind of person who changes easily? Think about it. He liked you so much back then and waited for you for years. How could he change just because Nina came into the picture? He feels guilty towards her, which is why he’s behaving this way.”

“Guilty?” Miranda stopped crying, grabbing Sally’s hand.” “You said the same thing last time, that Nash was using Nina. Why is it guilt now? And what about next time? I want
