Chapter 912
Quincy visibly panicked. "Miss Nina, please go back to your room. I'll handle this."
Sally had never liked Nina, and with Nash gone, Quincy, who had been entrusted with Nash's wishes, could not let the widow suffer any mistreatment. Nina gestured with her hand. "There's no need. I'll see her myself."
Quincy could help her handle the situation this time, but he would not always be there to do so. Nina patted Quincy's shoulder and went downstairs to meet Sally.
Sally stood in the living room, wearing a pale white dress embroidered with peonies. She was adorned with a full set of emerald jewelry, giving her a gentle and elegant appearance. However, her gaze was anything but kind. Sally had never shown Nina a friendly face. "Nina, how dare you come back here?"
Sally, in her high heels, stormed towards Nina, but Nina caught her wrist and forcefully pushed her away. Sally stumbled, nearly falling.
In disbelief, Sally glared at Nina. "Nina, you! How dare you lay a hand on me? You have truly lost all respect!"
Nina's eyes flashed with determination. The woman standing before Sally now was completely different from the Nina she had known. And it had not even been that long. Despite her small frame, Nina displayed surprising strength. Nina's gaze was icy. "If you have something to say, say it. Don't resort to physical aggression and overstep your bounds."
Nina was here to handle matters, not to be mistreated.
Sally's eyes burned with anger. "How can you be so brazen? Nash died because of you!"
And her Miranda. She could never openly acknowledge her grief for Miranda.
The mention of Nash's name felt like a sharp blade piercing Nina's heart. His death was a wound that would never heal.
"Did you come here just to tell me this? You saw the military's obituary, didn't you?"
Even if Sally did not believe her words, she had to believe the official military report. Nash had died in the line of duty.
As Nina spoke, she advanced
towards Sally. "Either leave, or I'letThis content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
have you removed. And are you really here just to settle accounts over Nash's death?"
Sally had always been close to Miranda, and Nina had suspected it before. She had never confirmed it, but now, seeing Sally's demeanor, her suspicions were confirmed.

Miranda and Sally were mother and daughter. With her return, it was very likely that Sally would conspire with Seth.
She needed to warn Quincy to make preparations in advance.
Sally's breath quickened, startled by Nina's tone and expression. Did Nina know about her relationship with Miranda? Nina's gaze grew colder, clearly indicating she knew the truth. The only way she could have known was if Nash had told her.
Nash had not only told Nina but had
also left all his assets to her. Even in the 21st century, Sally still believed in the idea of a femme fatale bringing ruin.
"So what if you know? Nina, you can't threaten me. The things Nash gave you are void. You better return every single one of them!"
A cruel glint appeared in Sally's eyes. She was declaring war on Nina, determined to reclaim the assets Nash had given her without Sally's approval.
