Chapter 314
After a moment's thought, Nash decided to accompany Stella. "Let's go," he said.
And that was how Nina was left behind. She had no intention of staying in the private room to face Stella's assistant, especially considering that Peter's son's first celebration party was also scheduled for today
Yvonne would surely come, so Nina started contacting Yvonne while heading out. But before she could reach Yvonne on the phone, someone spotted her.
"Hey, isn't this our classmate, Nina? Now that she's Mr. York's secretary, she's lost even the most basic human decency!"
"That's right! First, she brushed off our classmate Mike with 1,000 bucks, saying she had something else to do and couldn't make it. And now she's here."
"Didn't you see her just coming out of the private room?"
"Tsk! She doesn't want to see classmates, but she's got plenty of time to serve the big boss!"
Nina originally did not want to pay attention to these people, but their words became increasingly offensive. These were her former university classmates, yet they spoke so derogatorily.
Nina cast a cold gaze at them. "Shut your stinking mouths and stop talking nonsense."
"Oh, look at the little secretary acting all high and mighty. What if she becomes the CEO's wife?"
One of the girls with short hair, arms folded, looked at Nina with disdain.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Nina's gaze turned icy. "Why does it concern you whether I become the CEO's wife or not? Why are you so invested in my personal life?"
"I couldn't care less about your affairs, but looking at someone like you is sickening."
Nina grasped the principle that good people were often taken advantage of, and good horses were often ridden.
She fired back without hesitation, "Then maybe you should shut your damn eyes."
"Who are you to command me to shut my eyes?" The woman with short hair became furious.
She raised her hand to strike Nina, but Nina caught her wrist.
Seeing that she could not hit Nina, the woman with short hair became even more enraged. "What are you all standing around for? Help me!" With the woman's call, others joined in to help.
Nina could handle one person, but with several people, she felt she might be in trouble today.
Unexpectedly, she was not mobbed.
Someone pulled her back and shielded her. "It's all women here. Why make it difficult for each other? Besides, so many of you ganging up on her isn't very moral."
There was a hint of anger in the voice.
Nina was stunned. She had not expected that at this critical moment, Scott would shield her!
"Bullying? Why not mention her arrogance? Are you her lover?" The woman with short hair's gaze fell sharply on Scott, her words particularly harsh.
Nina felt that she had always been kind to others during her four years in college. Yet, during this gathering with her former classmates, they speculated about her with such malice.
Some people were just inherently evil!
Nina stepped forward and coldly rebuked the woman, "Is it me looking down on others, or you all picking fights? You know the answer! Apologize, and let's put this behind us."
The woman with short hair
completely disregarded Nina, saying, "So what if I don't apologize? Nina, insulting someone isn't against the law, and I haven't laid a finger on you. What are you going to do? Rat us out to your boss and try to get us thrown in jail?"
Nina did not spare the woman another glance.
Seeing the woman's arrogance and disregard for camaraderie among classmates, Nina felt no obligation to care either.
So, Nina went ahead and called the police directly.
