Chapter 9
“Nina, I truly know I was wrong. I was blinded by my feelings for Sophie Mitchell, and since Josh Walton didn’t love you, I thought it would be best for everyone to just move on.”
“After being with you, I realized you never intended to use a child to tie anyone down. You just wanted someone truly close to you. I was wrong, Nina.”
“You said I was the most important person to you, the one closest to you, and I promised to protect you forever. Can you give me another chance? Let’s be together again, just the two of us, with no one else to interfere.”
I looked at the man who had always been aloof, now kneeling before me with tears in his eyes, holding the sapphire brooch I had

once coveted. My heart was strangely calm.
Those two children…
I closed my eyes for a moment, then opened them again and slapped Ginger Franklin hard across the face.
“Ginger Franklin, who do you think you are?”
“If you loved Sophie Mitchell, you should have pursued her. Why did you have to hurt me?”
“What crime did my children commit? What did I do to deserve this? Do you have any idea how much I hated myself when I found out you were the one behind it all? Do you know how ridiculous I felt when I saw what was in that safe? Do you know how much I hated you when you protected Sophie Mitchell and watched me bleed out on the

stairs without litting a finger to save me or our child?”
“Do you think you deserve another chance?”
Looking at the face I once saw as my savior, I felt nothing but revulsion.
Ginger Franklin’s back bent lower and lower.
I sighed, “If I had proof, I would have sent you to jail myself to atone for what you did to my children.”
At that moment, a figure suddenly lunged out from the bushes beside us.
In a flash, I saw the familiar face of Sophie Mitchell.
She was spewing vicious curses, “Nina Davis! Why can’t you just leave me alone!

Why do you always have to take everything that’s mine!”
She lunged at me with a kitchen knife in her hand.
At the critical moment, I fell into a warm, familiar embrace.
Immediately after, there was the sound of a blade slicing into flesh.
Ginger Franklin grunted and collapsed into my arms.
Teachers passing by restrained Sophie Mitchell.
Ginger Franklin, pale–faced, clutched at my sleeve.
Without a word, I pressed firmly on his

wound.
Soon, the 120 emergency vehicle pulled up at the foot of the hill.
Several male teachers helped carry him down.
As he was being taken away, I looked at him and said, “Ginger Franklin, if you truly care about me, don’t come bothering me again” His lips trembling, Ginger Franklin managed a bitter smile. “I understand, Nina.”
It wasn’t until later that I found out Ginger Franklin had once sent Sophie Mitchell to prison.
It was Josh Walton who had used his connections to get her out.
But without a child to cling to, he quickly

Even Josh Walton’s company saw its stock prices plummet into a severe crisis.
In front of the cameras, Ginger Franklin, eyes red, apologized to me and left all his assets to me.
I took a sip of the water from my thermos and casually glanced away.
It was then that two students burst into the office, tugging at each other’s ears.
“Miss, Bob hit me first.”
“No, David splashed ink on my clothes first.”
Watching them, my lingering emotions were instantly dispersed.
After separating the two, I feigned anger, “Bob, David, among classmates, the worst

My father had a sudden heart attack and was rushed to the hospital.
The doctor said that if he didn’t have the surgery immediately, he would surely die.
I knelt on the ground and begged my fiancé, Goden, to help pay for the surgery.
But he asked me to sign an agreement to terminate our engagement first.
My best friend, Aya, appeared in front of me and said with a sneer, “Do you think about why your family went bankrupt and why your father had a heart attack?”
“If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for stealing my man.”
I was in great pain and despair, but there was nothing I could do.

With all my bank cards frozen, I had no choice but to beg him.
Just when I was in utter despair, my childhood sweetheart, Nicola, suddenly showed up and pulled me up. “Emelia, don’t beg him. He doesn’t deserve it.”
