pter 294

When Nina got back to the Swanson house, Sarah was alone in her room, quietly mourning.

20 vouchers

Every year after the anniversary of Samuel’s passing. Sarah would lock herself away, trying to deal with the pain on her own

Nina didn’t go to comfort her. Instead, she and Ryan headed back to their own room.

She was waiting for a call.

But the call took even longer to come than she’d expected.

Around seven that evening, Nina’s phone rang.

It was just another unknown number.

Nina glanced at the caller ID, narrowed her eyes, and answered.

She stayed silent, waiting for the caller to speak first.

After a brief pause, the person on the other end spoke up. “So, you already guessed?”

Nina smirked. “Wasn’t it only a matter of time before I figured out who you are? Grandpa?”

Samuel paused for a moment, then said, “So even after you know who I am, you’re still going to stand against me?”

Nina didn’t answer his question. Instead, she asked, “Grandpa, did you ever love Grandma? Be honest with me.”

Samuel was silent for a few seconds before finally saying, “No.”

Nina let out a dry laugh, but her eyes stayed cold.

“Nina, I really did love you. You were my only hope. Please, just help me this once. Once I get what I want, I’ll disappear from your life forever. You’ll never have to deal with me again,” Samuel pleaded.

Nina gave a cold, mocking laugh. “Love me? Are you sure about that, Samuel? Wasn’t all that so–called love just part of your grand plan? You know I’m not an idiot, so why bother making up such a lousy excuse? she shot back

Samuel paused, then said, “Can’t you think about Ruby for once? I admit, I used you, but you know better than anyone how Ruby treated you. Nina, I don’t want to hurt anyone. I just need the serum. Can you give it to me?”

Nina was quiet for a few seconds. “If I hand over the scrum, will you let Scarlet go?

Samuel fell silent.

Nina let out a cold laugh. “You expect me to do your dirty work while you still won’t let Ruby got? Ever heard the say tou there’s no such thing as a free lunch?

“We can negotiate. Whatever else you want, if it’s within my power, Fil agree. But in not releasing Ruby She’s say bargaining chip. Only after I get what I want will I let her gu

After a pause, Samuel added. “But I promise you, I won’t hurt her

“Other things?” Nina replied coolly. If you know me so well, then tell me What do even need?

Chapter 294

Samuel was at a loss for words.

Nina didn’t seem to want for anything.

She had everything anyone could ask for.

“So, I guess we’re done here?” Samuel said, his voice heavy.

B 20 vouches

Nina let out a soft laugh. “Samuel, are you getting senile? Didn’t I just say? Just let Scarlet go, and I’ll hand over the serum myself”

Samuel snorted. “If you’re going to be this stubborn, don’t blame me for what comes next. Guess the only place you’ll see Scarlet again is in hell.”

Nina’s smile bloomed, dangerous and beautiful, like a deadly flower in full bloom. “I told you, I’m not afraid if Scarlet dies, but if she does, someone else is coming with her.”

She paused, then added with a taunting edge. “Oh, and the one you care about most. Is her name Yusra?”

Samuel’s voice was cold as ice. “What are you trying to do?”

How about we play a little game?” Nina said, her tone casual. “Let’s see who wins first. Will I be the one to dig up Yusra’s grave, or will you kill Scarlet before that?

‘After all you’ve taught me, we’ve never really had a proper showdown, have we?”

‘Don’t you dare lay a finger on Yusra!” Samuel started, his voice shaking with rage.

Samuel hadn’t even finished before Nina cut him off, her voice sharp. “Yusra’s got a grandson, right? His name is…

Samuel exploded, “What are you trying to pull?”

I’m leaving for Betrico tomorrow,” Nina said coldly, “you have three days to bring Scarlet to me in Betrico. If I don’t see her, Yusra’s grandson dies. Five days, and her son goes next. And I’ll keep climbing up the family tree…”

Samuel barked before she could finish, “Fine! I’ll do it! But Nina, don’t you dare regret this!”

Nina clicked her tongue. “Wow, never pegged you for the loyal type, Samuel. You’d rather protect the family of the flancee who made a fool out of you than spare even a drop of love for Sarah. Regret? Maybe you should ask yourself that

Nina ended the call, not bothering to say another word.

She didn’t even spare Samuel a single extra word.

Maybe Samuel was just too overconfident. He’d hidden himself so well, but for some reason, he never bothered too hake Yusra’s family.

Maybe he thought that no matter how clever she was, there was no way she’d ever find out anything about Vusca’s family

After all, Yusra’s family was no ordinary bunch.

Too bad for him. She didn’t just find them. She got every last detail.

The moment Sarah told her the name of Samuel’s fiancée, Nina started digging.

Of course, she didn’t have to lift a finger herself.

Chapter 294

It was just that dramatic.

But as for the latter part of the story, Samuel probably had no idea. Nina only learned all this from the investigation Davis dug up for her.

Still, when Nina threw those facts in his face, Samuel didn’t even flinch. Guess he must’ve only uncovered the truth in rece

years.

Yet even after finding out what really happened, he kept obsessing over that woman, betraying Sarah all the same.

‘What a joke, Nina thought, shaking her head.
