He grabbed Mabel, not wanting to stir up more trouble. Afraid of saying too much facing expulsion. from the York Corporation, he immediately played along, "Mr. York, it was my oversight. I didn't grasp the situation clearly. This time, Nina was wronged."
Nash stood with one hand in his pocket, hist emotions unreadable, yet his words carried a firm tone." Mr. Green, I see that you've understood, but does your niece understand the situation?" Mr. Green pulled Mabel up, "You've been
disrespectful to Nina. Apologize to her right away. And don't gossip about her behind her back again.”
Mabel, surprised that she had to apologize after being slapped twice, protested, "Uncle, why should I apologize to her? I won't apologize!"
She started crying and causing a scene again.
Mr. Green looked at Nash again, seeing his furrowed brows, indicating he was running out of patience. In the York Corporation, he knew Nash was a man of his word. If he didn't want trouble, he should stop this situation right now.
He slapped Mabel, “Stop being stubborn. Apologize now, or you'll face consequences right here!”
Mabel had never been hit by him before. She was the favorite at home. Seeing her uncle so angry this time, she was terrified. She covered her face, looked at Nina still crying, and with a trembling voice said,

"Nina, I was speaking out of line and talking nonsense. I'm sorry!"
This stunned Paris. Even the vice president couldn't compete with Nina now. Nash didn't even give face to Mr. Green to protect Nina.
Now she knew, as long as Nash didn't abandon Nina, no one could touch her.
Nina didn't expect Nash to unconditionally support her. Though he said "justice before kin," he instinctively sided with her. As long as she didn't admit fault, he would unconditionally support her. After the farce ended, Nash returned to his office as usual.
The office folks learned their lesson. Here, nobody could bully Nina.
They endlessly showered her with flattery. Even Paris could only tread carefully, keeping her distance, afraid that staying longer would only bring her trouble.
Nina took some documents to Nash's office. As she entered, Nash's voice drifted over, "Did they hurt you?"
She looked over. "No."Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Nash said, "When you encounter difficulties, don't try to handle them alone. You can call me. If your assistant hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you were being bullied." It was Taylor who secretly informed him.
Nina watched Nash, who was once again focused on

his work, hesitating to speak. She handed over the documents and couldn't help but say, "Why did you unconditionally support me even in the office? Gossip spreads quickly, and if you continue like this, they'll surely speculate, and then our relationship will become the talk of the town."
Nash raised his head, asking, "What relationship?"
Nina opened her mouth, but the words wouldn't come out. They had been secretly married for three years, and nobody knew.
One reason was Nina knew how to avoid suspicion. Even though she was Nash's personal secretary, she maintained a distance to avoid giving people a chance to gossip..
The other reason was Nash's indifference towards her. No matter how hard she worked, he wouldn't support her.
Seeing her hesitation, Nash emphasized again, Hmm? Nina, what relationship?"
Nina clenched her hands, knowing she shouldn't overthink, and forced a smile, “You don't know, but everyone's spreading rumors that I'm your
mistress. It's not good for me in the long run."
