"Nina slipped? She''s not a toddler or an old woman to be teetering while she walks." Julie copsed into her husband''s arms and wailed with tearful eyes. "I think she did it on purpose!"


    Julie firmly believed that Nina sought to harm her baby, but she couldn''t answer when Howard asked her why Nina did so.


    She could only cry and curse the younger woman.


    Howard knew that Julie was upset, so he didn''t stop her diatribe. He turned to his daughter and asked, "Vivi, tell me what happened. If what your mother said is true, then I will seek justice for her no matter what. Even though Nina is the princess of C Ind, she''s not above thew!"


    "Dad, it''s all my fault." Vivian watched the nurse bandaging her wound. Her eyes darkened, and there was a slight curve to her mouth that was hidden by her long hair.


    "If I had protected Mom well, things wouldn''t have ended this way. Ultimately, everything''s my fault." Vivian choked out in self-recrimination and sobbed bitterly.

    "Okay." John wouldn''t force Henry to do anything. "Ask someone else to bring him here."


    "Yes, sir." After Henry hung up the phone, Adrian said, "I''ll drive him there."


    "You?" Henry asked in disbelief, staring at thezy man. "Why are you so idle?"


    "Idle?" Adrian spread out his hands. "Obviously, I''m busy apanying you." He threw the other man a mischievous grin.


    Henry blushed but said in a calm voice, "Please pay attention to your image."


    Adrian smiled and said nothing. He grabbed the car keys and walked out.


    He drove Howard to the North Yard. On the way, Howard snorted, "You''re the CEO of the Song Group. Why are you doing a lowly job of running errands for Mr. Shi?"


    Adrian pretended not to understand Howard''s sarcasm. He said with a carefree smile, "You know what, one of my friends said the exact same thing!"


    He nced at Howard. "Come to think of it, you and he look quite alike."
