Chapter 1528

After destroying Nina, Vans couldn’t possibly have any relations with her.

Lina was earnestly looking at her phone, and she didn’t even attempt to hide her smile.

“Lina!”

Suddenly, she heard a stern shout-it was Vans. He had caught sight of her phone screen, and wasn’t blind to the smirk on her face.

“What did you do to Nina? Was it you who released that video?” he demanded.

“I’m sorry.”

Lina’s demeanor shifted instantly, tears streaming down her face.

“Vans, I just wanted to help Ms. Ashlee. I thought she’d want to go public with Marcus, given what a catch he is… If she’s with him, she’d surely be happy! Did I do something wrong?”

She clutched his hand, pressing it to her face.

“If you think I’m wrong, you can hit me! Really, you can!”

She closed her eyes, seemingly prepared for a rebuke.

Vans knew she was putting on an act. But if she wasn’t causing a scene, he struggled to pinpoint an argumentative angle against her.

After all, the story about Nina dating Marcus had originated from Nina herself. To divert attention from them, she had falsely claimed her boyfriend was waiting downstairs, conveniently with Marcus’s car parked right there.

Meanwhile, Nina and Marcus remained oblivious.

With the renowned entertainment journalist Nina, Marcus’s assistant felt relieved, thinking he didn’t have to guard against any potential scandals.

The assistant, unable to resist, struck up a conversation with Nina. “Ms. Ashlee, how did you recognize our car?”

“It’s not just cars. I remember what your family members look like,” Nina replied with a smirk. “It’s part of my job.”

She tapped her nose playfully. “Sharper than a dog’s, remember?”

Amused, the assistant chuckled, wanting to continue their chat. But seeing Marcus’s displeasure, he quickly retreated to the back seat.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

Left with no other distractions, Nina instinctively turned her gaze towards Marcus. “Thank you for today.”

“No need for thanks,” Marcus retorted without missing a beat. “You should thank yourself.”

After all, it was Nina who had released photos of him with other actresses, forcing this unavoidable confrontation.

Caught off guard, Nina hurriedly pulled out her phone, eager to clarify things with Marcus.

While Nina cared deeply about click rates and the exposure level of her entertainment news, she had never made such a grave mistake in all her years.

Vans had certainly thrown her off balance.

Every time she thought of him, it felt as though her heart had torn out of her chest. However, this emotional turmoil was quickly overshadowed by urgency.

Trembling hands held her phone, and her gaze shifted between the screen’s glaring notification and Marcus, her lips quivering with regret.

She had ruined him today!

Diana had arranged to meet Nina at her home.

With Sean just returning home and in a rush to see Nina, Diana decided to delay sending the children to kindergarten to give them more time with Nina.

The good friends had some catching up to do.

However, as time ticked on, there was no sign of Nina.

Growing impatient, Diana finally opted to call Nina.

However, every attempt was met with the same message:” The number you are trying to reach is currently busy.”

While Nina rarely received calls aside from salespeople, so it was unusual for this to happen.

Diana tried repeatedly, only to be met with a busy tone each time.
