Therefore, she could undo what Nova had said to the media.
But Sabina had taken Nova too lightly. How could Nova give them a chance to claw their image back?
Nova laughed and nodded. “Yeah. We haven’t gotten together for a long time. A few days ago, when I
met cousin Kelly I had proposed the idea of a family dinner but she seemed to be busy with something
else so she didn’t take it seriously and went to work without saying a few

no for an answer!”
Nova nodded with a smile. “Well, I see. You are always kind to me. I won’t misunderstand
anymore.”
Zona: “…”
She felt a little bit drowsy at their stilted conversation.
When will the conversation come to an end?
They were all talking about something boring and guarding against each other all the time. It
definitely would send the people around to sleep. What’s the meaning?

she broke into a peal of soft laughter.
Her laughter drew others‘ attention. They looked at her simultaneously. Zona had to cough. lightly. “I just
thought of something interesting.”

eligible daughter–in–law!
Then Kelly’s superiority was manifested without incongruity by Sian’s move and Kelly’s parents were
family friends of Henry’s parents. She was supposed to be the one who stood behind old
Mrs. King.
But the next moment Sian’s eyes chilled as she caught a glimpse of Nova. Didn’t Nova want to
stick the boot in Kelly? She won’t let it happen!

and said helplessly, “Alright, I can walk by myself and I don’t need someone to help me to walk! I need
