Eve walked directly to Nash''s side. "Previously at Zoe''s party, we did not get a chance to talk properly before you left. You''re staying for a few more days this time, right?" She took Nash''s arm, leaving Nina behind.


    She did not act like this at the banquet. Back then, she did not know what kind of person Nina was. Plus, she had promised Zoe to help Nash out. She had treated Nash like a real brother for years and was willing to assist him. Now that Nash had a wife, she should treat her as a sister-inw, but she just could not warm up to Nina.


    She had heard from friends that Nina was a tough character. At work, she used her position to oppress others, and she was even arrogant about it! She heard that Nash''s mother did not like her. She did not know Nash was married, but thinking about facing such a formidable sister-inw in the future, she did not want to be mistreated. If they got divorced, that would be even better.


    "I can''t stay for long," Nash pushed Eve''s hand away gently. "With so many people around, be more mindful and tone it down."


    Eve persisted, "What''s wrong? You''re my brother. We used to be so close when we were young. Now that you''re married, things are different!"


    Her gaze shifted to Nina. Nina did not understand what was happening. Ever since she married Nash, she felt like she had no female allies. Everyone seemed to dislike her. She also noticed Eve''s disdainful look, as if Nina had stolen her Nash. Trying to maintain herposure, Nina remained silent.


    This scene caught Grandpa George''s attention. Although he knew Eve only had brotherly feelings for Nash, such behavior in front of so many people was inappropriate. He also knew his granddaughter''s temperament. She would not suddenly act like this.


    "Eve,e here," Grandpa George called out to her. Eve''s father had died in battle when she was young, and her mother had remarried. She had been relying on Grandpa George ever since, so she listened to him.


    As soon as Grandpa called her, she immediately let go of Nash and walked towards him. However, as she passed by Nina, she suddenly fell to the ground.


    "Oh dear!" Nina wanted to help, but it was toote. However, she was right there and helped Eve up.


    Unexpectedly, Eve burst into tears and pushed her away, staring at her in confusion. "Nina, why did you trip me?" Her voice was hoarse and tinged with grievance.


    Nina was surprised. This was only


    the second time she had met Eve and they had not exchanged a word before. It did not make sense for Eve to suddenly pick on her like this.


    Nina pursed her lips and defended herself, "Eve, I did not trip you. Maybe when I turned around, you identally stepped on my dress."

    "Are you saying I misunderstood you?" Eve''s face turned pale. "Oh no, I''m bleeding. Nina, why would you want to scratch my face? How much do you dislike me?"


    There was a small scratch on Eve''s


    cheek, and a bit of blood had


    dripped from it. For a girl, her appearance was important, and even a little blood was cause for concern.


    Grandpa George heard Eve''s cries and became worried. "What''s wrong, Eve?"


    Eve covered her face and cried, "Grandpa, I kindly approached Nina, but she did not like me and pushed me down, scratching my face. She''s so mean!"
