While holding a pillow, Isabella was curled up in her bed and crying. What she was really thinking about was that Albert would definitely dislike her if she was disfigured.
"Isabella, have a look. Maybe this is the girl behind the post."
"Post!" As soon as Isabella heard the word "post, " she sat up and grabbed the phone. In the video, a girl was watching her being beaten and even taking photos with her phone.
At that moment, she was completely shocked. That girl...
"Nina..." It was Nina!
Maybe she had figured out what she had done, so she took revenge on Isabella.
It must be the case! Isabella grabbed her mother's arm and yelled hoarsely, "Mom, it's Nina. It must be her. It's her who posted it."
Right now, all she could feel was anger. Her hands were trembling, like she wanted to pull Nina's hair and slap her across her face.
"Nina?" Her name was quite familiar. And then Amelia remembered her daughter often mentioned a girl named Nina.
"It's her!" With her eyebrows furrowed, Amelia blamed Isabella. "I have told you many times that you should stay away from this girl. She's from the countryside and must be an opportunistic girl! Now you must feel regretful!"
"Mom, you still blame me at this time? Am I really your daughter?" Her eyes were filled with tears, and her already swollen face became more swollen as she cried.
As a mother, Amelia would make Nina pay for this insult.
"What you should do now is follow the doctor's advice and have a good rest. Leave the rest to me and your father." A hint of cruelty flashed through Amelia's eyes.
As a nobody, no one would notice if Nina was killed. Her disappearance would not be a big deal.
For two consecutive days, Nina felt a little uneasy, because John knew what she had done and had evidence.
And he even warned her that she would regret it.
She thought he would give the video to the Zhang family.
One rainy afternoon, she confirmed why she had been feeling uneasy. On her way home, she noticed that a car was following her from a distance.
In order to make sure if she was really being stalked, Nina walked along the crowded streets and deliberately made several turns. When she simply glanced at her back, she found out that the car was still following her.
In this case, she couldn't go to a place with fewer people. But it rained today, and there were fewer people walking on the street.
Gradually, it started pouring, and there were fewer pedestrians. Nina could only turn into an alley which no car could enter. As expected, the car stopped and heavy footsteps followed behind her. By the sound of it, she figured she was being chased by two men.
Determined to get out of here, she walked faster until she threw her umbrella away and ran as fast as she could. The stalkers sped up and was about to catch up with her when she finally reached the end of the alley.
A Maserati braked to a halt in front of her.
"Nina." Albert got out of the car with an umbrella. He put his arm around Nina's shoulder before they faced the two tall and sturdy men in suits who had arrived.
The two men didn't expect that someone would suddenly appear. They didn't know the background of the person, so they didn't dare to take action. "Fortunately, I met you." Although half of her body was wet and sticky, which made her uncomfortable, Nina still felt lucky.
After she wiped the rain off of her face, she looked up at Albert. His eyes, which were colder than the rain, were fixated on the two men.
But when he spoke to Nina, his voice was gentle. "Don't worry. They won't do anything to you as long as I'm here, unless they want to live a life worse than death."
"Who are you? Mind your own business. We just want to invite Miss Lu." Looking at the man in front of them, the two men swallowed in fear. Indeed, Albert was thinner compared to them, but there was something about him that made them unexpectedly timid.
"I don't know who you are," Nina said.
