You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 137

Michelle had gotten her hands on Harrison's check-in records with another woman and told Nina in the letter. After thinking for a moment, Nina asked Adela bluntly, "Have you slept with Harrison?"

Color suddenly blossomed on Adela's pale face. She lowered her eyes. How could she answer such an embarrassing question?

"Why should I tell you?" She attempted to sound nonchalant.

"I'll take that as a yes." Nina found it a little too obvious judging from Adela's nonverbal response. Guilt was all over her face like makeup.

Thinking of Harrison's gentle demeanor, Nina could not help feeling disgusted. What refined scum that man was!

Nina had promised Michelle that she would help Emma, so she ordered Adela, "Call Harrison and ask him to take you to the hospital."

"What? Why?" Adela asked. She still did not look at Nina.

"Call him! Call him right now!" Nina bellowed impatiently.

She could not wrap her brain around men. How could they propose marriage to one woman and then date another at the same time? That was just incredibly greedy, not to mention stupid.

"Okay, okay, I'll call him right now." Afraid that Nina would start bludgeoning her, Adela took out her mobile phone with trembling hands and dialed Harrison's number. As soon as she heard his gentle voice on the other end of the line, she said in between sobs, "Harrison, I'm at the Ye family estate's west gate. Can you come get me?"

She took a look at Nina and almost lost her mind upon seeing her frightening eyes. She continued, "I...I fell down. I need you to take me to the hospital. Please. I'm really hurt."

"Okay. Just stay where you are. I'll come get you. Don't move," Harrison replied.

"Yes, yes. Please hurry."

Adela continued sobbing as if she was really hurt. Without saying another word, Nina turned around and walked into a hidden place. She fired up the virtual computer on her watch, quickly found Emma's basic information, and took out her mobile phone. She dialed Emma's number.

"Emma? It's me, Nina."

Emma paused and asked, "Hi, Nina. What's the matter? Is everything okay? Actually, you know what, we may have to talk about it later. I'm in a casting group with my tutor right now. I'm a little busy."

Then a voice called to Emma in the background, telling her that filming would begin soon and that everyone should take their places.

Nina was never the indecisive one. Her style of doing things was as quick as punching and kicking.

"Your boyfriend and his fiancee are at a party right now at the Ye family estate. If you come here right now, you'll see them."

Emma's line was dead silent for a moment as if she had hung up. Nina waited for her answer.

When Emma did not say anything more, Nina decided to hang up. Her work was done. She had delivered the bad news.

As soon as she turned around, Nine appeared in front of her. He was panting, and his tongue was sticking out of his mouth. He barked at her happily.

Nina was so startled that she almost fell. With a hand to her chest, she squatted down and patted Nine's head gently. "Nine, you scared me. Where'd you come from?"

"You should be thankful that Nine did not floor you, Aunt Nina. He usually does that to people he really likes." Nina raised her head and saw James looking at her. His arm was still in an arm sling.

"What are you doing out here with Nine?" Nina asked. Nine was still so excited to see Nina again that he repeatedly tried to lick her face. Nina started giggling and tried her best to keep Nine down.

James was leaning against a nearby wall. He answered, "There's nothing interesting inside. Also, Uncle John asked me if I saw you, and I said no. I happened to see Nine running this way, so I followed him."

Before Nina could say anything, he asked, "Why do you look so guilty, Aunt Nina? Did you do something Uncle John wouldn't like?"

Nina rolled her eyes at James. Of course she did not do anything wrong. She just wanted to fulfill her promise to Michelle to beat Harrison to a pulp.

She had to keep an eye on Emma. Michelle would not like it if she found out that she had let them bully her.

Nina hated seeing Michelle cry. Her tears were like acid poured onto her heart. She could not take them.
