Chapter 414 She Was Wrong About You


    John received a call from Leon when he was in the middle of a meeting. He abruptly stepped out of


    the conference room, leaving his employees staring after him in confusion.


    They wondered,


    ''Such a situation only took ce when his wife was still alive. Now that she has passed away, who


    is able to make him leave a meeting?''


    Everyone kept exchanging nces and guessing whether John had a new girlfriend.


    Richard cleared his throat loudly. Then, everyone present sat up and kept quiet.


    Richard was different from Henry. He was good at martial arts and could beat anyone to a pulp even


    with one hand tied behind his back. Nobody wanted to be dealt with by him.


    John was already frightening enough. Richard was now his assistant, which made everyone in the


    company even more terrified to act rashly.


    The meeting room was silent once again. Through the ss, Richard watched John''s back.


    He was sure that the phone call must have something to do with Nina. Otherwise, his boss would


    not have left a rather importantpany meeting. He wondered whether something had happened


    to Nina.


    "John, I told you to go to C Ind and find my sister as soon as possible. Why didn''t you do it?"


    Leon snapped.


    "What happened?" John asked.


    "How dare you ask me what happened? Why didn''t you go find my sister? It has been two months


    since we spokest. Why are you still in Lexingport City? If you don''t want her anymore, just tell me.


    I''ll make her give up."


    "Don''t take it wrong. I want her. It''s just not the right time yet," John answered in a low and


    depressed voice.


    Leon sneered. "When the right timees, my sister and Vicente will have had their baby."


    "Baby? What do you mean?" John''s eyes darkened.


    "Don''t you understand what I mean?" Leon began pacing back and forth. "Nini was forced to marry


    Vicente. I can only imagine the pain she''s feeling right now. She tried to jump into the sea and kill


    herself but failed. Fortunately, she didn''t sustain any serious injuries."


    Thinking that Nina had tried tomit suicide, Leon was still scared out of his mind. He was afraid


    that Nina was just pretending to surrender and only agreed to marry Vicente so that she could fight


    for her true love in other extreme ways afterward.


    Leon was angry with himself. He could not stand against his mother and return to C Ind to


    protect his sister.


    John was his only hope. However, John was still in Lexingport City, which made Leon wish he could


    strangle him over the phone.


    "I don''t know how they forced Nini to marry Vicente, but he''s the youngest and most promising


    count on C Ind. He''s not as tall or as handsome as you are, but he''s better in every other aspect.


    He loves my sister very much and has waited for her for many years."


    After saying that, Leon lowered his voice and continued, "I want him for Nini too, but she loves you."


    John''s eyes narrowed.


    His whole body seemed to be shrouded in boundless darkness, and only his fingers, which were


    tightly holding the phone, turned pale.


    After a long while, he said, "I see."


    "You see? That''s all you can say right now?" If only Leon could see the pain and determination in


    John''s eyes.


    "She was wrong about you, you know?" Leon hung up after that.


    John still held his phone in his hand, standing still and thinking deeply about something.


    After a while, Richard came to call him. "Mr. Shi?"


    John''s dark eyes lit up as he ordered, "Carry out the n ahead of schedule."


    Time went by, and it had been more than a month since Nina and Vicente''s wedding. The people of


    C Ind were still talking about their grand wedding.


    With Nina and Vicente''s union, some members of the Nangong family felt threatened and began


    nning something.


    Vicente''s somewhat crazy mother was their opening.


    "Where is Vicente?" A young man with slicked-back hair barged into Vicente''s ce followed by two


    burly bodyguards. The two bodyguards were holding the shaking and disheveled Mrs. Nangong


    between them.


    "Let me go! Let me go!" She struggled and iled around between the two big bodyguards. "Let go


    of me, or I''ll bite you!"


    She snarled and tried to bite one of the bodyguards, but they were holding her in a way that


    rendered her virtually helpless. She wiggled and tried desperately to break free and failed miserably.

    With a little strength, the two bodyguards lifted her up. Her feet rose off the floor, making her sway


    back and forth like a swing between the two brawny men.


    "This is so funny."


    Seeing her crazed expression, the young manughed scornfully and said, "What a lunatic."


    The noise outside made Nina put down the parenting book she was reading. When she walked out


    of the study, she saw her mother-inw being dropped to the floor by the two bodyguards.


    "Ouch! That hurt!" Mrs. Nangong bellowed at the two men who looked like they did not even hear


    her.


    "Mom," Nina called, rushed to her and helped her up. "Are you okay? Does it hurt?"


    "Vicki, it hurts!" Mrs. Nangong had always regarded Nina as her own daughter. She quickly hid


    behind Nina and stretched out her hand. She did not dare point at the young man. She only pointed


    at the bodyguards and said to Nina, "They bullied me!"


    The young man, who she did not dare point at, was Jett Nangong, twenty-six years old, the same


    age as Vicente.


    Jett was born a few months earlier than Vicente. His father and Vicente''s father, who died many


    years ago, were biological brothers.


    Nina met Jett at the wedding, and they had a simple conversation.


    They were neither familiar nor strange.


    "Have you no respect for your aunt, Jett?" Nina patted Mrs. Nangong''s hand and looked at the maid


    standing not far away. "Please take her to have a check-up."


    "Right away." The maid came forward, held Mrs. Nangong, and said, "Ma''am, shall we go


    somewhere else to y?"


    "No, no!" Mrs. Nangong protested, shaking her head violently. She held on to Nina''s arm tightly. "I


    want to be with my daughter. I want to y with her. I don''t want to y with you."


    Mrs. Nangong had been clinging to Nina since thetter married Vicente.


    Helpless, Nina could only shake her head and ask the maid to leave and let Mrs. Nangong hold her


    arm.


    Jett sneered, "Vicki? She doesn''t treat you as her daughter-inw, Nina. She treats you as her dead


    daughter. Can you bear that?"


    Facing Jett''s provocative eyes, Nina asked, "Is there any difference between a daughter and a


    daughter-inw? Oh, yes, there''s a difference. Treating me as her daughter makes us more


    intimate."


    "You are so considerate!" Jett sneered.


    On their wedding day, Nina found out that Jett was against Vicente, so she did not hold much of a


    conversation with him. She said indifferently, "Cut the crap, Jett. What do you want?"


    Jett smiled. "I''m not here to make trouble. I just want an exnation."


    Nina disagreed. She knew that trouble was all he came for.


    She looked up at him. "An exnation for what?"


    "She scratched my wife''s face and made it bleed. Don''t I deserve an exnation for that?" Jett''s


    eyes turned malicious and ferocious. He pointed at Mrs. Nangong, who was cowering behind


    Nina.
