David was clearly a timid and weak-willed man. If she startled him too much, he might panic and harm her ahead of time.

Nina glanced down at herself. Her hands and feet were tightly bound, but luckily no tape covered her mouth. It was obvious this was the first time he had ever done something like this, and he had no idea how to go about it properly.

They were out in the middle of nowhere. Even if she screamed for help, no one was likely to hear her. Worse still, it would only push him to act recklessly against her.

With that in mind, she quietly felt around the ground for something sharp. Sure enough, plenty of sharp stones lay scattered all

over this desolate land.

Before she could feel relieved, David finished digging a deep pit meant to bury her alive.

He turned around abruptly and met her calm, sharp gaze straight on. He jumped in fright and instantly raised his shovel high up.

“You’ll get the death penalty if you kill me right now,” Nina spoke firmly. “I’m still alive, which means you still have a chance to back

out.”

“You ruined my daughter’s life and stole her husband! You deserve to die!” David shouted, yet his whole body trembled and his voice shook uncontrollably.

Nina stayed completely calm. “I admit Chase has been clinging to me lately, but I never tried to take him away from your daughter. In fact, I even persuaded his family to treat her better and pushed them to hold that press.conference to fix their relationship. All of this is just a huge misunderstanding on her part.”

David wavered again after hearing her words. Still, he quickly snapped back to his senses.

“I won’t fall for your lies! You’re just making up excuses to save your own life!”

“You can easily ask Chase and his family to confirm everything 1 said. If I hadn’t stepped in and talked him down, he would have already ended his marriage with your daughter. Besides, I already have someone I care about deeply. I would never go after Chase.”

Her words sounded sincere and utterly genuine, with no trace of deception,

Confusion washed over David once more. “Could it be… could my daughter have gotten everything wrong?”

“Sir, she really has misunderstood everything. I’m telling you nothing but the truth, and you can verify it anytime you want.

Slowly, he lowered the shovel in his hand, torn with hesitation.

Nina kept talking softly to reason with him. “I know you only did this out of blind love for your daughter, and you didn’t think thing through clearly. I won’t hold this against you. But my own parents are waiting for me to get home safely. It’s already so late They must be worried sick wondering where I am. Trust me, if you drive me back safely. I will never tell a soul about what happened here tonight”

“Really? You aren’t lying to me?”

“We can even make a written promise if you want. I would never trick you

David looked at her and began to soften up Nina was around the same age as Katona. He could easily imagine now heartbroken he would be if something terrible happened to his child.
