Chapter 63
Nash walked in from outside, followed by a group of people. His imposing presence exuded a cold aura, keeping people at bay.
Paris had been planning to thoroughly deal with Nina, leaving her no chance to turn the tables, but Nash happened to return. Her hand paused mid-air, reconsidering how to punish Nina.
The moment Nash arrived, she felt a sense of fear and refrained from delivering the slap.
"Mr. York!" People in the office cleared a path as Nash approached. Surveying the chaotic scene and the suppressed Nina, his brows furrowed, his expression icy.
His gaze swept around the room. "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought this isn't my company, but your territory, Mr. Green."
Mr. Green's expression shifted, his arrogance diminished by Nash's words. He could only respond cordially, "No, that's not the case, Mr. York. It's just that my niece was hit by Nina. She's cherished in our Green family, and no one has ever laid a hand on her before. She's endured so much injustice, and as her uncle, I feel compelled to defend her. Furthermore, Nina shows a complete disregard for others. Not only does she refuse to acknowledge her wrongdoing, but she also tries to lecture me. How can someone like that be deemed fit to remain by your side, Mr. York?"

He pointed out Nina's flaws, hoping to make Nash aware of Nina's character issues, thereby justifying her dismissal. No matter how Nina was, she was still just a secretary, and Nash always sided with Mr. Green.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Nash turned to Nina and asked, "Do you agree with what Mr. Green said?"
Nina replied firmly, "No, I don't. It was Mabel who slandered me behind my back, tarnishing my reputation. When I confronted her, she didn't back down and even provoked me brazenly. Her actions hurt me, and I was merely defending my rights. I'm not wrong, and I won't admit to being wrong!"
"You see, Mr. York, how audacious Nina is. She refuses to admit her mistake and believes she's done nothing wrong," Mr. Green said indignantly.
Nash's cold gaze fixed on Mr. Green, "Didn't you hear? Your niece provoked first. What fault does Nina have?"
Nash stood firmly by Nina's side, without any extra words, leaving Mr. Green momentarily stunned, then he replied with a stern face, "Mr. York, but it's. my niece who was struck!" He thought perhaps Nash hadn't heard him clearly.
Nash remained expressionless, his tone cool, "Mr. Green, do you think just because you're a senior figure at York Corporation, I must take your side. regardless of what's right?" Mr. Green felt the chilling gaze of Nash, sharp as a

knife. If he said any more,
y more, that knife might just
pierce him. He felt the pressure instantly.
"At York Corporation, everyone is equal, and when someone makes a mistake, they should be
punished. Your niece, relying on favoritism, has been insubordinate to her superior. It's only right to discipline her. What's
saying?"
""rong with what I'm
His words left the office staff in a state of
confusion, torn between finding his argument
reasonable yet sensing something amiss. But here, whatever Nash said was the final word.
Mabel couldn't believe it. "Mr. York, it's Nina who's bullying..."
Nash's gaze shifted to Mabel. Initially confident, Mabel began to falter under the sharpness of Nash's eyes. Her words grew fainter, and eventually, she shrunk behind Mr. Green, too intimidated to continue. Nash's eyes were deep and icy as he addressed Mr. Green, "It appears that your niece has a tendency to speak out of line."
Even though Mr. Green was seething with anger, he dared not say another word at that moment. Though Nash's words seemed harmless on the surface, he could discern their implications.
He realized that Mabel's lack of tact didn't sit well with Nash.
