Chapter 412

Nina departed from the Harper family villa.

As they drove, the driver glanced back and said "The car behind seems to be tailing us intentionally."

"Hmm?" Nina responded, observing that the car,which had been following them so closely, suddenly turned at the intersection.

The driver became quiet.

Upon returning to the Dury family home, Nina found both Elyse and Natalie waiting.

The moment Natalie laid eyes on Nina, she spotted the jade bracelet on her wrist.

She heard the bracelet was a gift from the Wesker family to their daughter-in-law-an heirloom worth millions.

Natalie's eyes narrowed, a flash of envy crossing her In her eyes, Nina was a fool who ended up with things she herself didn't desire.

How could Nina possess something so valuable now?

A spiteful glint sparkled in Natalie's eyes as she raised her hand to block Nina's path. "Aren't you scared?"

Nina glanced at Natalie. "Scared of what?"

Natalie smirked. "Aren't you worried the Wesker family will discover you slept with Linden?"

Nina furrowed her brows. "Are you threatening me?"

Natalie chuckled. "If you think so, then I suppose it is. I don't care who you marry, but if Linden wants to sleep with me, you'll have to go."

Nina knew Daniela had a plan in place, so she held back from revealing it. "I can't. I'm going to marry Sammy.I can't do such things. You're so capable.Why don't you go? After all, it was you Linden wanted from the start."

Natalie's eyes gleamed with malicious coldness."If you don't agree, I'll make your affair with Linden public. The Wesker family cares about their reputation. Once that video of you and Linden spending the night together gets out, do you think they'll still want you? By then, even Daniela won't be able to protect you."

Nina mirrored Daniela's confident demeanor,standing firm in defense of her happiness. "Is that so? I'm part of the Dury family. My disgrace is yours as well. The world will know how the Dury family failed to raise me, and I'll expose all your secrets. I'll show them how the picture-perfect, glamorous Natalie is nothing but a manipulative schemer. If no one will marry me because of it, then no one will dare marry you either."

Natalie was furious at Nina's calm response."How dare you!"

Nina sneered. "If you're out to ruin me, why should I hold back?" Ignoring Natalie's contorted face, she made her way upstairs to her room.

Her room had turned into little more than a storage space.

Nina didn't care anymore. She had given up on this family entirely.

She placed both the gold bracelet from her father and the jade one from the Wesker family onto one wrist.

With the gold bracelet in her hand, she whispered,"Dad, can you see this? I'm getting married soon.l'll be happy."

Nina collected her things and walked downstairs, not bothering to look back.

Natalie had left.

Elyse remained seated on the sofa. "Nina, are you sure you won't listen to me and Natalie?"

A cold shiver ran through Nina. She turned to Elyse and asked quietly, "Mom, I'm getting married tomorrow. Don't you have anything to say? Not even a blessing?"

Elyse stared at the coffee table and replied coldly, "If you defy me, I'll disown you! I don't even want to speak at your wedding, let alone bless it."

Nina nodded, realizing she had no tears left for such a heartless Elyse. Maybe she had been disappointed enough.

Nina walked out of the villa.

Just as she was about to get in the car, Elyse suddenly called out, "Nina, I'm asking you one last time. Will you listen to me?"

Nina hesitated with her hand on the car door before getting in.

Inside the car, Nina's eyes were rimmed with red. She looked down at the bracelet on her wrist, about to smile when her expression suddenly froze.

She looked up in shock, realizing the car wasn't headed towards the Harper family's villa.

"Hey, where are you taking me?" Nina demanded,her voice trembling.

The car sped up, rushing down the road.

Her grip tightened around the door handle as her heart raced.

"Stop the car! I told you, stop the car!" she yelled,panic rising in her chest.

But the car surged forward, merging onto the highway, then veering onto a lonely side road.

Fear swept over Nina, and she cursed herself for not listening to Daniela and for not bringing a bodyguard along.

Frantically, she grabbed her phone, aiming to dial Daniela, but the driver swerved sharply, jerking Nina to the side.

Her phone flew from her grasp, the screen flashing with Daniela's name. Nina reached for it, but it slipped further away.As she gripped the seat with all her strength, the sound of her jade and gold bracelets clashing rang through the car.

Her eyes burned as she stared at Daniela's name,realizing this was her last chance to get away.

As her fingers hovered over the screen, the car suddenly halted. Stunned, Nina had no time to react befoe she was forcefully dragged out of the vehicle.

Tears blurred her vision as she watched Daniela's name fade from the screen.

With a sob, she closed her eyes, the tears flowing freely down her face.
