Heiress Returns Family Shocks (Nina Swanson) novel Chapter 382

Chapter 382

Martin gave Nina a guarded look. “When did you find out?”

He couldn’t make out her face, but heard her snort. “When? Let me think.”

After a few seconds, Nina said, “Probably before I even came back to the Swanson family.”

Nina paused, then added, “To be exact, all the Swanson family’s paternity tests were already on my desk before I returned. Figuring out you were really a Nicholson took some digging. I only cracked that not long ago.”

Martin’s eyes stayed glued to Nina. “So it’s not just me. You know the truth about Matthew and Lily, too?”

Nina let out a laugh. “Well, Mr. Nicholson, for once you’re not completely clueless.”

Martin couldn’t see her face, but her laugh was laced with sarcasm.

Martin stayed quiet for a long time before suddenly laughing out loud. “So you were tailing me tonight on purpose? I really did underestimate you, Nina.

“How could the little girl, who failed her IQ test since childhood, have hidden so much from us?”

Nina curved her lips into a sly smile. “Failing my IQ test, huh?”

She chuckled softly, then stepped right up to Martin.

In the pale moonlight, Martin finally saw Nina’s face clearly.

Her breathtaking beauty was even more mesmerizing when she smiled.

“I think you’ve got me all wrong,” Nina said, reaching out and hooking a finger under Martin’s chin. “Back when Mrs. Swanson ran those tests, the machine was faulty.

“Not only did I pass, but I actually scored higher than anyone else. As for the rest of you? None of you made the cut! Surprised, Mr. Nicholson?”

Martin laughed, “Big deal? You might be smart, but you still came here just to die.”

Martin knew he wasn’t the brightest bulb in the box.

It was only thanks to Vivian’s messed–up way of pushing him that his brain got a little sharper than most people’s. Back when Martin learned Nina was the CEO of SN Corporation he’d already guessed those tests must’ve been faulty. Nina was the real genius in the Swanson family.

Vivian spent her whole life showing off her so–called genius kids but she never realized she’d thrown away the one who truly deserved her pride.

‘But so what if Nina’s a genius? It’s so late, and Misty Peak is famous for its danger that no one ever comes back from. It’s the perfect place for a killing, Martin wondered.

With that thought, Martin suddenly grabbed Nina by the throat, a vicious glint in his eyes. “I was just wondering how to kill you, and you came looking for trouble all on your own.

“Fine, since you’re so eager, you and your precious Aunt Waverly can take a trip to the underworld together.”

Martin whipped out a knife from behind his back and swung it straight at Nina’s neck, aiming to slit her throat. However, his

Martin’s face twisted in shock as he shot a stunned look at Elaine who hadn’t said a single word since she showed up. “What did you do to me?”

Elaine calmly put away her needles, a mocking smirk on her lips. “Nina says you’re slow, but did you really flush your brains down the toilet?

“Think about it. Nina already knows who you are. Why do you think she’d walk in here with me, just the two of us?”

Martin didn’t say a word, just shot Elaine a vicious glare. But his hand stayed frozen in the air, unable to move.

Nina just flicked his arm away with her finger and headed straight for Elaine.

Elaine gave Nina a look, asking for praise, before turning to Martin with a dramatic flair. “Don’t tell me you seriously didn’t know Nina is the Miracle Doctor?”
