Chapter 178 Blind Parental Love

After Nina headed up to her room, Jensen turned to face Marvin and Esther.

“Mr. Tann, Mrs. Tann, now that Nina is safe, I’ll take my leave first.”

Esther nodded gently.

“Thank you so much for everything today. Make sure you rest well on your way back too.”

“Jensen, was the person who attacked Nina connected to the Mercer family?”

Marvin’s sudden question left Esther stunned.

“Honey, what are you talking about? The Mercers would never get mixed up in such dirty deeds.”

“Just answer me plainly, yes or no.”

Marvin wore a stern look, having already sensed something was off from their earlier conversation.

Jensen kept his tone calm and neutral.

“Mr. Tann, I truly have no idea.”

Marvin let out a slow breath.

“We owe you a huge favor for keeping Nina safe today. She’s been learning the ropes at your company these days, and she’s our only daughter. I hope you’ll keep looking out for her.”

“You have my word, I will.”

With that, Jensen took his leave from the Tann Villa.

Marvin sighed softly.

“What a fine young man. It would’ve been wonderful if he and Nina had ended up together.”

“Our girl just doesn’t have that luck,” Esther replied. “He’s already with Ms. Beaumont now, so all we can do is wish them well Though…”

She trailed off without finishing her thought. Deep down, she was convinced Jensen still held feelings for Nina. He was never the type to accept a business marriage so easily, yet she could never figure out what was really going on.

Just then, Caleb hurried in through the front gate looking utterly flustered.

“Mr. Tann, Mrs. Tann, where’s Nina?”

Worry was written all over his face. Esther looked surprised.

“Aren’t you supposed to be back at the Rhodes Villa?”

“How could I stay put when I heard she got abducted? Is she really home safe now

“You reckless boy, sneaking out again. Your father will surely punish you severely tomorrow

“I’d take a hundred punishments if it meant getting to make sure she’s alright first ”

Seeing how genuinely anxious Caleb was for Nina, Marvin spoke up.

“She’s upstairs in her room, probably still awake. Go check on her.”

“Got it!”

Caleb rushed straight upstairs without another word. Marvin and Esther exchanged a helpless glance. They were bor Caleb, yet they knew the two were nothing more than close friends.

Upstairs, Nina was sipping warm milk when her bedroom door swung open abruptly.

“Nina!”

She nearly choked on her drink at the sudden shout. She stared in shock the moment she saw who it was.

“Caleb? I thought you’d already gone back home. Why are you here so late?”

The Rhodes family ran their household with extremely strict rules. Caleb had gotten to stay out and enjoy freedom for a while night after returning from abroad. But his family had sent people to bring him home a few days prior and wouldn’t allow him to say over at others’ places freely.

“How could I stay cooped up at home knowing you went through such a scare? Let me have a look, did you get hurt any

Caleb grabbed her wrist at once and spotted the raw scrapes on her skin.

“These marks came from being tied up, didn’t they?”

“I’m just lucky these are the only injuries I got. I could’ve lost my life back there, and you would’ve only found my instead.”

Her words were no exaggeration. Caleb’s expression darkened instantly with rage.

“I’m heading straight to the police station right now to teach that guy a lesson. Tell me who did this to you. I’m going there this instant!”

Seeing how fired up he was, Nina could only feel helpless.

“You might find this hard to believe.”

“Just spit it out.”

“It was Katrina’s father. He works as a driver.”

Caleb froze the second he heard the answer.

“A mere driver has the guts to do something this extreme?“

“Parents will do absolutely anything for their children. He really dared to comme such terrible crimes all just for katrina

Right then, the maid knocked softly at the door and spoke gently, “Miss, your bath water is all ready. Would you warm bath and relax now?”
