Nina noticed that the dark eyes staring at her were filled with hostility and even a bit of resentiment.


    Ivy couldn''t believe that after bringing Nina here to suffer, she was now being escorted around by Mr. Joker.


    Mr. Joker, who was one of Micah''s closest confidants and a key figure in overseeing the male ves. An he was now letting Nina roam freely? Did Nina think she was on vacation?


    Ivy clenched her teeth in anger, her nails digging into her palms so hard they drew blood. Just then, her phone chimed. It was a message from Wes.


    "Miss Ivy, Nina is now under the protection of Micah''s people. He even gave her a ck card for free passage."


    Reading this message felt like a sharp knife piercing Ivy''s heart, causing a wave of intense jealousy and rage. She immediately called Wes.Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    When he answered, she spoke coldly, "I don''t care what you have to do. I want Nina to suffer so much she wishes she were dead."


    "Miss Ivy, given the current situation, I''ll try my best. But remember, Micah has people guarding her, and we still have Mr. Kerr to consider," Wes replied hesitantly.


    Already irritated, Ivy became even more enraged when she heard Wes''s caution. "I don''t need you to remind me of that. I just need to know if you can follow my orders or not."


    If her subordinates couldn''t follow hermands and be useful to her, she would need to find new ones.


    "Yes," Wes responded.


    Ivy hung up, clutching her phone tightly, her eyes filled with malice. She wouldn''t give Nina any chance to survive.


    Meanwhile, Nina sneezed several times. Under Mr. Joker''s guidance, she now had a good grasp of the surroundings. Suddenly, a hurried male voice called out from a distance, "Mr. Joker, there''s trouble in the ve camp..."


    Nina noticed Mr. Joker''s expression turn as hard as steel. His gaze was piercing, exuding an intimidating presence.


    But when he turned to Nina, his expression softened slightly. "I have to handle something. You can continue exploring but don''t wander off too far. When you''re done, head back."


    Just as Micah had said, the most dangerous ce would be the safest ce. Nina nodded in agreement and headed toward the garden.


    The garden was filled with a riot of colorful flowers, but what caught her eye the most were the various roses, especially the white and pink ones. Drawn to them, she walked over, finding it strange that such a ce would have a garden like this.


    "Who''s there?" A deep voice suddenly echoed, making Nina''s heart sink. She saw a man crouched among the flowers, turning his head to look at her.


    The man wore a ck mask that covered his face, and his hair appeared almost silver, as if dusted with frost.


    "Who are you? How did you get here?" he asked, his eyes wide with astonishment.


    Standing by the roses, Nina''s clothes were somewhat dirty and ragged, but this did nothing to diminish her poise. Iler presence exuded an undeniable grace, especially with her striking face and piercing dark eyes.
