CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

This took everyone by surprise. It sent chills down their spines and was a real eye-opener for Penelope.

"Nina, are you out of your mind? You slapped Miranda!" her colleague exclaimed, shocked.

Miranda tilted her head slightly, stunned for several seconds.

Nina replied, "You slapped Yvonne; it's only fair I return the favor!"

The assistant, startled, immediately pushed Nina away: "Are you crazy? How dare you hit Miranda..."

Nina retaliated by slapping the assistant back. "You lack manners. With such a troublemaking assistant like you, it's no wonder Miranda got slapped!"

"You... Nina, you..."

The assistant couldn't articulate her anger as Nina remained unfazed.

Miranda covered her face, tears streaming down, and said softly, "Ruby, let it go. We can't afford to provoke her..."

"Who can't afford to provoke her?"

Sally rushed over in a fit of rage at the sight of Miranda being slapped. "Nina, it's you again. This time, I didn't make a mistake, did I? You are bullying Miranda behind Nash's and my back. You're just Nash's secretary; do you think you're someone special? Miranda is my future daughter-in-law!"

Miranda, adept at showing weakness, cried in Sally's arms, "Sally!"

For Sally to publicly acknowledge Miranda as the future daughter-in-law of the York family was a privilege reserved only for her. It not only validated Miranda's status but also dispelled

any rumors.

Nina felt a pang in her heart. Despite being married into the York family for three years, she was still not acknowledged, feeling deeply hurt. Instead, Sally and Miranda shared a deep bond, akin to that of a mother and daughter.

Nina also refused to yield, stating coldly, "There's a right and wrong in everything. Just because you all claim something is right doesn't make it so. Miranda has the freedom to do as she pleases, but don't bully my friend!"

Miranda cried and said, "I didn't, Nina. You're insulting me in front of so many people, and I haven't said a word. You're going too far."

Sally unconditionally sided with Miranda, glaring angrily, "Miranda is gentle, kind, and even weak. How could she bully you? I clearly saw you hitting Miranda, yet here you are, still arguing. leave, get out of our York family!"

With numerous onlookers, Sally showed no mercy to Nina.

Nina also knew her fate. Recognizing the unfair treatment she would receive, she opted not to subject herself to further humiliation. She sneered, "Fine, I'm leaving now."

Chasing them away was precisely Miranda's intention.

Miranda leaned on Sally's shoulder, tears streaming down her face, but a smirk played on her lips.

As long as Sally refused to acknowledge her as her daughter-in-law, she wouldn't find solace in the York family.

It was only a matter of time before Nash grew weary of Nina.

At that moment, just as Nina hurried out, Nash crossed paths with her. He stood tall, his handsome face framed by a black suit, a white shirt, and the checked tie Nina had picked out for him that morning. His physique was impeccable, naturally emanating a regal presence that both attracted and intimidated.

Behind him trailed a group of influential figures.

Unaware of the situation, Nash only noticed Nina's icy demeanor. Aware of their recent tensions, he hesitated to delve deeper.

Yet Nina met his gaze briefly, her demeanor growing even colder. Unable to resist, he reached for her hand. "What's going on?"

Nina was annoyed and paid no mind to the group of important individuals standing behind him. She struggled to free her hand. "Let go of me!"

Nash furrowed his brow, ignoring the curious stares of others, and refused to release her hand. “Don't be unreasonable.”

His words only fueled Nina's anger, but fortunately, Yvonne interjected, "Your mom took Miranda's side, scolded Nina, and even told her to leave. She was supposed to be your... Why let her be treated like this?"

She wanted to reveal Nina's identity, but remembering Nina's wishes, she held back. She didn't want to cause Nina any more trouble.

If Nash had any conscience, he wouldn't have disappointed Nina.

Understanding the situation now, Nash tightened his grip on Nina's hand. "Today is an important day; don't act impulsively."

Sally and Miranda approached. Seeing them holding hands with so many people watching, Sally frowned. "Nash, let go of Nina. If she's done something wrong, she should take responsibility for it. Every time you give in to her, she becomes even more arrogant. She might even walk all over you in the future!"

Nash glanced at Sally, then at Miranda behind her, his expression turning colder. "Aren't you supposed to be attending to the guests? Why are you getting involved in backstage matters?" Sally's face tightened "I was concerned about Miranda, came to check on her, and didn't expect Nina to bully her. I...”

"She has seven or eight assistants. How could she be bullied?" Nash said sharply. "You're

worrying too much!"

Sally knew that Miranda had only recently been discharged from the hospital and was still weak. She had asked Nash to arrange for more people to take care of her. There was nothing she could say in response.

The atmosphere became awkward and tense for a moment. Nash's business partners attempted to lighten the mood, saying, "We've all heard the rumors that Miranda will be Mrs. York someday. Looks like it's true after all. Mr. York's devotion to Miranda is quite something; you don't see that every day. So, when's the big day?"

Some were pleased, while others were worried.

Miranda was pleasantly surprised, exchanging a glance with Sally, feeling ecstatic inside. As for Nina, Nash's lawful wife, she refrained from saying anything to avoid further complications. She forced a smile, suspecting that Nash likely wanted everyone to know

anyway.

"Mr. Yates, you've got it wrong. Miranda and I are just business partners!"

His blunt statement, without any hint of deceit, stunned Nina. She looked up at him in disbelief. Why was he disentangling himself so cleanly?

Sensing her gaze, Nash couldn't help but tighten his grip on her hand slightly, as if administering a tranquilizer.

Mr. Yates was momentarily taken aback but quickly composed himself. "So, all the rumors outside are false. I thought Mr. York had marriage plans." Nash replied, "I've had such plans long ago."

Mr. Yates seemed to have stumbled upon a colossal secret and became curious. "Mr. York,

you've hidden it quite well. I've never heard you mention it before. If it's not Miranda, then who could possibly have the capability to make you settle down?" "I'm already married!"
