Chapter 488
“Whatever,” Vincent said, totally unfazed.
Nina raised an eyebrow. “You’re not going to help him? Aren’t you worried he’ll come after you?”

Vincent scoffed. “I’m the only heir to the Sherman family. If he tries to get rid of me, my ancestors would crawl out of their graves and beat him up.
“You should hurry up and report this to your
and square. After that, I’ll take care of you. Oss, get my grandpa arrested, and then I can inherit the Sherman fortune fair

worries.”
Suddenly, Vincent leaned in close to Nina. “Seriously, think about it. Take both Ryan and me into your home.
“He can do the laundry and cook for us, I’ll give you massages and warm your bed at night. Just imagine how awesome
that would be.”
Vincent clicked his tongue. “It’d be freaking amazing!”
“You can get lost,” Nina said, not even bothering to look at him as she got up and walked inside.
Vincent curled his lips into a grin.
totally loving it, but she just won’t admit it.”
‘Fine, whatever, Vincent thought to himself. ‘Girls are just shy like that. Gotta give her some time.
Nina had no idea what Vincent was thinking. If she did, she’d probably kick him clear into the stratosphere.
After Vincent left, Nina went to the hospital.
When she arrived, the four elders of the Foster family were blocking the entrance to the hospital room. There were a bunch of people in front of them, looking like they were itching to get in.
Nina shot a quick glance and walked over.
“Grandma Maria, what’s going on?” Nina asked.
When Maria saw Nina, she quickly pulled her over. “These people want to take Ryan away, but we won’t let them. We’re in a standoff right now.”
“Maria, we’re just following orders from above. We need to take Ryan away for investigation. If you keep blocking us, don’t blame me if I have to haul you all in for interfering with official duties,” Thomas said, his face stone cold.
“Spare me the bullshit! Until my grandson wakes up, anyone who wants to take him away will have to step over my dead body!” Maria shouted angrily.
Thomas’s expression didn’t change. “If you won’t move, I’ll walk right over your corpses myself.”
Nina let out a laugh. “What was that? I didn’t quite catch it. Why don’t you say it again?”
Thomas shot Nina a cold look. “I’m acting on orders from above Ryan’s coming with us for questioning. Got the paperwork right here, it’s all legit.
“If you keep blocki
the way, we’ll just barge in. And if someone gets hurt, don’t blame us.”
Thomas swept his gaze over Nina and the others. “And if you really want to fight us to the end, we’ll just step right over your dead bodies.”

Suddenly, there was a loud thud. Before Thomas could even finish, Nina kicked him so hard he slammed right into the opposite wall.
She didn’t hold back at all. Thomas was left struggling to get up, otally wrecked. He just lay there groaning, eyes wide in disbelief.
He wasn’t some weakling; he’d actually won a martial arts championship before.
He never claimed to be unbeatable, but in a one-on-one fight, he was sure he could take anyone down. However, to his shock, Nina just sent him flying with a single kick.
He couldn’t even tell how Nina pulled it off.
Nina walked right up to Thomas, hands shoved in her pockets, towering over him. “I’m standing right here. Go ahead. Try and step over my corpse.”
Thomas struggled to his feet, glaring at Nina through clenched teeth. “Nina! Don’t forget, you’re supposed to be one of the Enforcement Squad, too. You really going to go against orders?”
“I don’t just defy orders. If anyone tries to take Ryan before he wakes up, I’ll straight up kill them. Try me,” Nina said, her face cold as ice.
Thomas stared at her in disbelief. “Are you out of your mind? Aren’t you afraid of getting punished?”
Nina let out a cold laugh. “Honestly, I’m more worried you’ll end up dead before I do. So, what, want to test that?”
“So you’re dead set on not letting us take Ryan today?” Thomas said, his voice low and serious.
Nina let out a soft laugh and deliberately stepped aside. “Go ahead, try and see what happens.”
Thomas’s face turned livid with rage.
Nina might’ve sounded casual, but the silver needles between her fingers looked like she could barely keep herself from using them.
