Miranda froze. “Riverdale?”

Nina shot her a look. “What? Do you want to stay here?”

Miranda shook her head quickly. “No, I don’t want to!”

She didn’t want to stay here anymore.

There was nothing here for her to miss.

“Then pack your things,” Nina said coolly.

Miranda hesitated. “But will they let me go with you?”

She was talking about David.

After all, she was David’s daughter.

And Nina wasn’t even her aunt.

Legally, Nina has no right to take her away.

Unless David voluntarily gave up his rights.

Right now, David still didn’t know Emily wasn’t his real daughter. If he found out, there’s no way he’d let her leave.

“They won’t agree? Then we’ll make them agree, even if we have to fight for it,” Nina said coldly.

With that, Nina opened the door and walked out.

More blood-curdling screams echoed from downstairs. Sean must have tossed David and the others into the kennel once

more.

Nina didn’t even flinch at the screams.

Instead of heading downstairs, she went straight to Edward’s room.

After yesterday’s treatment, Edward looked much better, and his pulse was steady.

Edward had suffered a serious illness years ago, and now, after being poisoned again, even with Nina’s best efforts and medicine, his recovery was still slow.

After checking on Edward and seeing he still hadn’t woken up, Nina led Miranda downstairs.

Loren and Cheney had already arrived at the Hawthorne residence.

They hadn’t stayed at the Hawthorne residence last night, instea, they’d gone to a hotel.

Today, they’d brought bodyguards with them.

“Ms. Swanson,” Loren greeted Nina.

“Loren, just call me Nina. Nina said “You’re Scarlet’s dad, you don’t have to stand on ceremony with me

Loren smiled. “OK, Nina.”

After a bit of small talk, Loren asked, “Nina, what are you planning to do about the Hawthorne family?”

Nina answered with a question instead. “What do you think?”

Loren said, “Of course, I want them to give us a proper answer, but with Edward still out cold and just the kids left at home. this could drag on for days.

“Seeing how Miranda is being treated here breaks my heart. I just want to take her back with me as soon as I can,” he added. pausing.

Nina was quiet for a moment before saying, “Loren, I’m not letting Miranda stay in the Hawthorne residence anymore.”

Loren got anxious. “Why not? You saw it yourself. No one here cares about Miranda. Now that we’ve had a falling out with them, things will only get worse for her. If we leave her in the city”

Nina interrupted him. “I’m taking her to Riverdale. I’ll teach her myself.”

“Well…” Loren hesitated.

He thought, ‘Nina is really something.

‘No exaggeration, she could run circles around my sons.

‘Miranda lives with Nina was honestly the best thing that could have happened to her.

‘But I just couldn’t bring myself to let her go.

‘I have finally gotten word about Scarlet, but I haven’t even gotten the chance to meet her in person yet.

Loren had pinned all his hopes and longing for Scarlet on Miranda.

He wanted to bring Miranda home and give her the life she deserves.

He just couldn’t bear to be separated from Miranda.

Nina said, “Loren, there were reasons I had to let Miranda stay in the Hawthorne residence before, and I’m truly sorry about what she went through. I won’t let it happen again.

“I know you really care about her, but I can’t say the same for the others at the Carroll residence. She is only safe with me.

Nina thought, ‘Even though things are dangerous around me, to, as long as I’m here, Miranda will be safe.

‘Besides, I’m not going to let Miranda stay a helpless little girl forever.

‘Scarlet’s daughter isn’t meant to be weak.

‘Miranda is Scarlet’s soft spot.

With Scarlet missing and no one knowing where she is, it wouldn’t take long for people who are up to no good to dig into Miranda’s background.

If Miranda stayed weak, she would be nothing but a knife point right at Scarlet’s heart, and Nina wasn’t about to let that happen.

Loren and Nina stared at each other for a long moment before Loren finally nodded. “Alright, let Miranda go with you.”
