No Renewal My Contract Husband (Nella and Alfred) novel Chapter 166

Chapter 166 She Could Tell

15 Poate

“Nella, what do you mean by that? Are you deliberately trying to push Zoey to her death?”

Compared to Eileen’s unreasonable outburst, Nella remained calm and composed.

“I’m only protecting my legal rights and my reputation. If Ms. Mack’s condition worsens because of this, I happen to know a mental health specialist and can recommend one to her.”

Every word Nella spoke was firm and unyielding.

Her posture stayed straight, showing not the slightest sign of backing down.

As she spoke, her gaze shifted to Zoey, whose face was dark with gloom, and she offered her a gentle smile.

“Depression is a life-threatening condition. If that therapist treated you for so long without results, it just means they weren’t very competent. Ms. Mack, my suggestion is for you to switch to a new doctor and actually get treated instead of dodging the problem.”

“You little…”

Zoey clenched her teeth in fury at Nella’s calm, effortless delivery.

And what made her even angrier was how familiar those words sounded.

That’s right.

That day in Alfred’s office, Alfred said almost the exact same thing.

What the hell?

Are they trying to show me they’re perfectly in sync as husband and wife, and they’re even saying the same things now?

The more Zoey thought about it, the angrier she got. Her gaze shifted uncontrollably toward Alfred.

She happened to catch him pressing his lips together, trying to hold back a smile, yet still unable to hide the upward curve at the corner of his mouth.

“Alfred…”

Zoey cried out to him, her voice trembling. “Does Nella really want to push me to death before she’s satisfied?”

The curve at Alfred’s lips slowly faded.

He straightened up and finally turned his gaze back to Nella.

Nella noticed his look and met his eyes.

Before Alfred could speak, she cut in first.

“I don’t agree.”

She guessed Zoey had gotten to him and that he was about to tell her to let it go.

But why should she?

She was easygoing and didn’t like to argue, but that didn’t make her a pushover.

To frame her, Zoey had dragged her parents into it too. They were torn apart online by countless vicious insults.

They had done nothing wrong. They devoted themselves to education and research. They’d never abused their authority or harmed anyone.

Yet because their daughter had staked her marriage on love, and because that man had a scheming childhood friend, they were dragged online and subjected to abuse.

Why should I give in? Nella asked herself that in her heart.

I was willing to humiliate myself before. But why should my parents be ruined too, just because of Alfred?

“Alfred, you can use your connections and power to force me to compromise. But if you want me to agree to just let this go, that’s impossible.”

The way Nella looked at Alfred was calm and restrained.

Alfred couldn’t see even a trace of anger in her eyes, yet in that moment, he was somehow overpowered by her unyielding stance.

He hadn’t even asked her to agree to a settlement. But the way she phrased that just now made it clear she was convinced he planned to smooth things over for Zoey.

At that thought, his brows suddenly drew together, a faint trace of displeasure appearing between them.

Nella saw all of it.

She could tell. She refused to let it go, and Alfred was angry because of it.

But this time. Nella refused to take even a single step back.

With that thought, she straightened her back, her tone turning even firmer.

She met Alfred’s gaze head-on and said firmly, “This is my business. You don’t have the right to decide it for

me.”

“Nella, don’t push your luck,” Zoey snapped.

Just then, the reception room door was pushed open again.

“Who’s pushing their luck here?”

The newcomer’s voice was deep and powerful.

His gaze swept the room before landing on Alfred.

He shot him a hard glare.

The man’s appearance stunned everyone present.

“Grandpa.”

Alfred stood up from his chair and walked over to the elderly man.

“Get out of the way! You can’t even protect your own wife. What use are you?”

Alfred fell silent.

The newcomer was none other than Regis, Alfred’s grandfather.

Along with Regis, two other people entered.

“Dad, Mom? Why are you here too?”

Seeing her parents, Nella was surprised.

Clifford Milo and Felicia had recently been tied up with a new medical research project.

They’d been shut away at the research institute and hadn’t known she’d been dragged online and cursed.

Nella hadn’t wanted to worry them either, so she’d hoped to resolve things quickly and calm the online

storm.

She hadn’t expected them to come together with Regis.

Clifford and Felicia looked every bit like academics.

Both were in their early 50s, carrying a quiet, restrained seriousness.

Clifford wore thin, silver-rimmed glasses. His hair was neat and tidy, his temples dusted with natural gray.
