What did Zoe say?

Did Nash marry her for the shares his grandfather held?

Nina's gaze went blank as she turned away, peering through the half-concealed crack to see the scene inside. She saw Zoe standing, her emotions a bit agitated, while Nash sat with his legs crossed on the sofa, his eyes showing no hint of emotion.

"Yeah," he simply replied.

Nina's face turned deathly pale, shock evident in her eyes.

No wonder he married her; it was all part of a deal.

No wonder on their wedding night, he said there would be no intimacy between them, made her realize her status.

She was just a pawn from the beginning.

Nina pressed her hand firmly against her mouth, afraid of crying out, afraid that her disturbance might interrupt them. In the end, she became the one who was the clown.

How could Zoe not be anxious? "This is the marriage your grandfather arranged for you. How can you betray him!" Nash pursed his lips, remaining silent.

"After the three-year period you agreed with Nina, you can divorce her and still get half of the shares! What a big scheme! "What did you tell me before? You said you never thought about divorcing Nina. Were you lying to me?" Zoe asked.

Nash looked at her, pondered for a moment, then replied coldly, "I didn't lie to you."

Zoe felt both angry and sad, thinking

naturally pass once the anger subsided. But it was never that simple from the start.

Nash had planned too much, even calculating his marriage.

This outcome for Nina meant she had nothing.

She was a good girl; how could she be treated so badly?
