Zachary did not want to argue and walked toward his room.


    At the door, he saw Nina.


    Zachary ignored her, he still needed to exin to Jane that he could not go over tonight.


    He had no time to waste.


    "Zachary." Nina blocked his path.


    Zachary took a step back to create distance and said in an extremely cold tone, "If you can tell the truth about that night, then I will stand here and listen to you for a moment." If you can''t, then I don''t have time to listen to you." Nina looked shocked. "Zachary, what are you talking about? What truth about that night? Are you doubting that I lied to everyone?"


    Zachary did not speak, but his silence implied consent.


    Tears streamed down Nina''s face. "Zachary, although society has progressed and the standards for a girl''s virtue are no longer so strict, do I really need to lie about my innocence?" Zachary looked at her coldly.


    He felt as if those previous years had been wasted.


    He was shocked to discover how corrupt her thoughts had be beneath her pure facade!


    "Now I suspect that your im of being almost assaulted by that man was a self-directed act."


    "Nina, no matter how well you bury what you''ve done, it might still leave traces.


    Nina swayed, as if she might faint from standing.


    "Zachary... how could you think that of me? Why would I do that?"


    Zachary nced at his watch, uninterested in her act.


    If it weren''t for needing information from her, he wouldn''t want to say a word.


    "To make me and the Collins family feel guilty toward you."


    Nina''s hand, hidden in the sleeve of her pajamas, almost dug into her flesh.


    Everything had been going smoothly, why had it suddenly turned out like this?


    It was all because of Jane!


    It was that scheming bitch!


    If it weren''t for her enticing Zachary and ying her games of reluctance and feigned interest, Zachary would never have slept with her.


    He wouldn''t be with her!


    "You actually think this of me."


    Nina suppressed her emotions and choked out, "But during my time back in the country, did I make any demands? Didn''t I still speak up for you and everyone in the Collins family?" "Regarding that night at the hotel, did I ask you to take responsibility?"


    "If it weren''t for my Mrs. Collins pressing me, I would never have revealed anything."


    After listening to her lengthyment, Zachary only said coolly, "Nina, you may choose not to tell the truth, but once I find out, I promise your oue will be tragic."


    Nina wanted to say more, but Zachary did not give her a chance and went into his room.


    The door mmed shut with a bang, as cold as he was.


    Nina did not linger and turned back to her own room.


    At the moment she closed the door, all her pretenses shattered.


    Her face twisted in a terrifying expression, her tear-filled eyes now brimming with malice.


    Given Zachary''s current attitude, with the surveince restored, he would surely use means to force her to confess about herself and Michael.


    No matter what, she would not say anything, but Michael''s grandmother was a weakness she could exploit.


    She could not sit back and do nothing.


    If she could not have Zachary, then Jane couldn''t either.


    She quickly regained herposure and restored her innocent demeanor.


    Emerging from her room, she headed to Reba''s room.


    Zachary saw this in the hallway surveince and snorted coldly.


    It was within his expectations, so he didn''t pay much attention and called Jane via video.


    Jane had just finished dealing with some matters, and upon seeing Zachary''s video call, she answered immediately.


    "Why are you video calling? Aren''t youing?"N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.

    Zachary nodded. "Yeah."


    Jane understood his family situation.


    Sometimes, she felt that having too many rtives could be troublesome, because there could be fallouts.
