As soon as Nina moved, she realized that something was wrong. Sitting up in a hurry, her mind went blank when she found out that she wasn't wearing an inch of cloth over her body.
"Nina...."
When the man's voice came to her ears, she looked even paler.
"Cousin-in-law?"
Larson also felt that something was wrong, and he looked at Nina, "Did we...."
"Let's talk about this later. Get dressed!"
Nina forced herself to calm down. Except the nudity of her body and the pain on and off in her temples, there was no discomfort.
Suddenly, the door of the room was knocked straight open by force, just before she could make it to the bathroom. Zara screamed as she rushed in, "Ah! Nina! Larson! What have you done!"
The person who accompanied them was York - her fiance!
Nina's face froze. Before she even opened her mouth, Zara slapped her right in the cheek.
It was a slap with all her strength, strong enough to show a mark of five fingers on her face at once.
"How could you live up to me, Nina! I can't believe you did this to me!"
Zara seemed to be out of her mind. She dragged Nina in the hair and started to beat her, tears dripping from her face. Nina tried to pull her away with one hand while holding the sheet, which was the only thing to cover her body, with the other hand: "Let go of me! Last night, it was...."
"Slap...."
"It was you who helped me into this bedroom," Zara hit her again, even before she could finish the sentence.
"Are you still justifying yourself, Nina! I knew you liked Larson for a long time. I just didn't expect that you would...."
With her secret thoughts exposed, Nina subconsciously glanced at Larson, who was standing still, gazing on her, without any intention to help her.
"Do you need men so much? Why did you have to seduce your cousin-in-law? You just got engaged to York!"
Zara scolded her uninterruptedly, not giving her a chance to open her mouth at all.
Nina's head was in such pain that, she felt as if someone had split it open. After what had happened, she didn't even have time to sort out who had set her up, while Zara dragged her by her hair and pulled her out of the room, "You get out! Get the hell out of here, Nina!"
Nina had a feeling that her scalp was almost ripped off her head. She reached out to control Zara's hands, pulling against the one who had already lost her sanity, "Let go of Me! There is nothing going on between Larson and me!"
"Do you see me for a fool? Both naked and sleeping together, and you are telling me nothing is going on?"
It was hard to know where Zara got such strength to tug Nina all the way downstairs while she was struggling.
"Zara, what are you doing?!"
Charles Jones, father of Zara, came out and sternly shouted at her, but he had no intention to step up and help Nina!
"Dad! Look at that wolf you raised! She even seduced her own cousin-in-law, in our own house, on my birthday, last night!"
"I didn't!"
Nina gritted her teeth and coldly gazed at Charles.
She had long known before that Charles and his family were keen to kick her out, but she had never expected that they would use such a nasty approach!
That glass of wine she drank last night was clearly dosed. When she felt dizzy, it was Zara who sent her back to her room. She knew the Jones family had set a trap for her as soon as she calmed down!
Her eyes were so fierce that Charles was stalled for a moment. However, as an old and cunning man, it didn't take long for him to react, "Nina, how could you do this!"
Hearing Charles' words, Nina spoke no more and snorted.
"Get out of here! The Jones family doesn't have a place for a white-eyed wolf like you!"
When Zara moved herd, Nina felt as if her scalp was going to be pulled away from her head. With hot tears rolling in her eyes, she was dragged all the way out of the entrance to the villa.
"Ah...."
"Squeak...."
Nina was pushed into the middle of the road, where a sports car barely stopped before clashing her. When she saw the man inside the car, Nina froze in horror.
Who is Steve Kent?
The Third Youngest Master of the Kent family. While nobody stood in the way of Steve Kent in Arlington City, she was blocking his way, right in front of his car.
When she was pushed to the ground, Nina naturally raised her hands to support herself. As soon as she loosened her grip, the sheet on her body spread open, scattered on her chest just in time and covered her in an embarrassing way.
She pulled the sheet up hurriedly in reaction. As she got up on her feet and intended to flee, the car door flung open. The first thing she saw was a pair of shiny shoes and two straight and slender legs wrapped in black trousers, both forbidding and attractive.
Furthering up, Nina clearly saw his bony fingers gently clasping on the bow tie, and the man's protruding Adam's apple moved slightly up and down. It was a very distinctive face, with catching black eyes and a faint smile.
He looked at her in such a condescending manner that Nina chilled underneath her skin.
At this moment, even Zara, who was just screaming insanely, dared not to say a word. The whole bunch of people of the Green family stood by the gate of the villa, watching how Nina, who was still sitting on the ground, would deal with this unexpected trouble.
Supporting herself by the arms, Nina had wanted to get up and get out of the way in the first place, but now, she dared not to move at all. Pressing her lips, she just hoped that the man in front of her would show mercy for once.
But in the next second, she knew it was a vain hope.
When the man suddenly moved, she felt her vision slightly darkened, and without any time to react, she heard the teasing voice of Steve's: "Why such a big salute."
Saying that, he reached out his hand towards her.
Nina's entire body stiffened, her eyes looking at the hand with long knuckles in front of her, her fingertips colder and colder.
Seeing her froze on the ground like that, Steve grinned lightly, "What, can't you even move, or you need me to pick you up?"
The seductive tone of voice made Nina turn pale. she pressed her lips and was about to say something when the sound of flashing cameras came from the street corner.
No one had ever thought of this abrupt change, and Nina subconsciously looked towards Steve.
The smile on his face was a little deeper, but when his gaze swept over the reporters, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Steve took back his gaze and suddenly stretched out his hands to hold her up.
Nina was stunned for a moment and subconsciously pushed him in response: "Third Young Master...."
"It's better off if you stay put, Nina."
Looking down at her, his eyes were light and soft, but they made her heart tremble a few times straight away.
How she dared to move when the Third Young Master of the Kent family gave his words. Even if she were to take a breath, she would have to lighten up in order to survive, not to mention moving around.
The girl in his arms was as stiff as a piece of wood. After taking a glance at the people standing in front of the villa, he finally focused on Zara and York. After a meaningful glance on them, he put Nina down on the passenger seat, then went around the other side to get into the car.
Not many reporters who caught up with them dared to catch up.
To their knowledge and self-awareness, the Third Young Master of the Kent family is not someone to mess up with, this self-awareness, they still know.
As she watched the sports car leave, the grief on Zara's face was long gone, with only a gloomy look on his face.
It wasn't until her mother, Yolanda Green, touched her that she realized they were long gone. Changing her face swiftly, she looked at Larson with grief, "Larson Carter, let's get a divorce!"
Nina's mind went blank as she recalled all the various rumors about the man at her side over the years, her hands, which grasped the sheet all the way along, subconsciously tightened.
Nina's mind went blank as she recalled all different rumors about the man at her side over the years, her hands that were seizing the blanket subconsciously tightened.
At this moment, the man leaned his head and glanced at her while driving, his black eyes filled with unpredictable smiles.
In the next second, the car accelerated fiercely and drove straight out of the villa.
With wind continuously blow over her cheeks, Nina felt nothing but her heartbeat, faster and faster. She had never been in such a fast joy ride. the unease inside of her rolling stomach startled her, without thinking of her fear, she touched the man beside her, "I, I want to...ugh!"
Nina was somewhat glad that she had woken up early in the morning and been thrown out by Zara before breakfast. As there was nothing inside her stomach, she had nothing to vomit out at this point.
"Bear with it."
The smile on Steve's face faded, and his foot that was tightly pressing on the gas loosened for a bit, thus slowed the sports car gradually.
Nina covered her mouth, her face was somewhat pale, with hair blown all over her cheeks, and the sheet that covered her body was also blown messy by the wind. What chaos!
After suffering for almost five long minutes, the car stopped.
Nina looked up only to find it was a parking lot. she took a look at Steve, pressing her lips, and tried to hold back her emotions, "Third Young Master, I...."
"Get out of the car."
After he pushed open and got out, he stood less than two meters away from her seat, staring her from above, not even bother to give her a chance to speak.
Nina couldn't figure out what he wanted. Anyway, everyone in Arlington City knew, it would be a terrible idea to say no to Steve.
Moreover, it was also known in Arlington City that no woman could leave the Third Young Master's room without pain and injuries.
When she thought of this, her face went even paler.
With all her reactions exposed under his eyes, Steve stepped forward and leaned on the car door. He bowed close to her face, looking directly at her. "Do you want me to hold you?"
He paused after saying that and lifted the corner of his lips, "It's not like I can't hold you, but you just need to say so...."
"No need to bother you, Third Young Master, I can make it."
Nina opened her mouth before he could finish his sentence. Slightly rolling his eyes, Steve took a step back while pulling the door open, "Get out of my car!"
By this time, the smile on his face disappeared, and the stern lines of his face were like blades. It made her shuddering.
Nina got out of the car in a hurry, though hesitated for a second when her bare feet touched the ground. She didn't expect that her waist would feel so tight at the moment, and she was lifted into the air.
"Third Young Master, I can walk by myself."
Steve didn't even care to look at her, except for ordering her with two short words: "Shut up."
Nina dared not to say anything else and was carried all the way into the elevator and then into the house.
When the door closed, she couldn't help but take a step back and gazed at Steve, who was loosening his tie. It made her grip on the sheet even harder.
Steve noticed her movement, and looked up at her while tugging his tie, "Are you nervous?"
"Third Young Master, thank you for today, could you...."
"Thanks?"
He smiled lightly, pulled the loose tie off, and whipped it at her.
Nina turned her head sideways by instinct, only to wait for pain that never came after a long time. Then she dared to open her eyes a little.
However, she did not expect to confront a pair of clean eyes right before her face.
As her eyesight darkened, her shoulders ached slightly, and her back was pushed onto the wall of the entrance under his grasp. By the next second, the man's straight brows and sharp eyes came up to her, with two thin lips stopped no more than two centimeters from her lips:" Playing hard-to-get?"
