Unscented-Chapter 1024 - 966 new hope

"My granddaughter,how is she?Has she gained weight?Is she getting more and more beautiful by now?"

She bombarded Nina with many questions altogether.By her attitude,it seemed like she cared about True very much.

Nina was disgusted with her hypocrisy.All she wanted was to get away from there as soon as possible.

When Carlee started asking her more questions,she stopped her and reminded her coldly,"My daughter doesn’t need your concern.What do you want from me?"

Nina’s stern voice and cold behavior towards Carlee irked her.The next moment she glared at her and then took out a credit card from her hand bag.

It’s been a while since Carlee was married but she still owned shares in the company owned by Lin family.The annual dividend alone was nearly eight figures.

So money was never a problem for her.

"This card has two million dollars in it.The amount is enough for you and your family to live a luxurious and comfortable life."She started and put the card in front of Nina.

Meanwhile Nina was giving her a baffled look.

Even after seeing the confused look on her face,Carlee continued to negotiate,"As long as you hand over the custody of the child and write a guarantee to cut off your contact with Harley,you can take the money."

Still Nina didn’t utter a word.

So Carlee took out a contract papers guarantee from her bag.

She pushed it in front of Nina again and waited for her signature.

On the other hand,Nina was stunned by Carlee’s arrogance.

"Do you think money can buy everything?"

Nina sneered and continued,"In terms of wealth,maybe my family can’t compare with you,but the Paul family doesn’t have the tradition of selling children,so please take your card back."

When Carlee saw that Nina refused to accept the deal offered by her,she lost her calm and decided to threaten her.

She was fiercely looking at her,"Fine!I think now we have to take another route.I will not step back and the next stop is court.

I am sure the judge will be on our side.Then you will lose the money and the baby both.Tell me,is this what you want?"

"You?"

This word attracted Nina’s attention.

"Did Harley send you here?"

Then she instantly said,"Let me reframe that again.Did Harley send you to offer me money in exchange for my daughter’s custody?"

This was the first thought that came into Nina’s mind.As two days back when Harley created chaos in her house at midnight.And she didn’t allow him to meet their daughter.

On the other hand,Carlee had used every way to negotiate but when nothing worked and Nina mentioned Harley,she thought that it was the last resort and she needed to take the bait.

Sod she nodded.

"Yes,Harley is tired of you.And he is going to be engaged to Sylvia next month.He wants to get rid of the baby as soon as possible."

Carlee knew that the relationship between the two of them had always been entangled,so she deliberately said that in order to create more misunderstanding between them.

And she thought that Nina would give up.

Hearing Carlee’s words,Nina’s heart stopped beating for a moment.She froze,as she never expected that Harley would accept Sylvia that easily.

Although things weren’t good between them,she never expected that they would end up like that.

"I can’t show her my weakness,"She whispered to herself.

The next moment Nina forced herself to calm down and replied firmly,"I don’t care who Harley will marry,but no one can take my daughter away.Go and tell this to him."

""Who is taking the child away from you?I think you are misunderstanding,we are just talking about her custody."

Carlee said in a sharp voice,trying to persuade Nina,"You can come and meet the child anytime you want.None of us will stop you,that’s my promise.This way you will have both-money and the child.Isn’t it a good deal?"

"

""True is my daughter.I want to raise her on my own.Moreover,I can’t leave her.Not even for a second."

Nina shook her head and strictly refused,"Even if you will offer me one hundred million,I won’t give my daughter to you,let alone the 2 million dollars."

At this moment,Nina was hurt and was completely disappointed with Harley.

She used to think that things would not be good between her and Harley.He and his mother will stand against her together.

Now it was turning that way.

She bit her lower lip in order to suppress her tears.Carlee was staring at her face and before she could speak anything,Nina stood up and left the room.

Looking at her retreating figure,Carlee gritted her teeth in anger.

"This shrewd woman isn’t going to back off that easily.I needed to do something else."She whispered.

In evening

Carler reached home,when Sylvia saw her sullen face.She guessed that Nina didn’t give in to her demands.

"Mrs.Timothy,Nina doesn’t agree to hand over the custody of the child,right?"She knitted her eyebrows together.

""Well!!She is a cunning woman.We need to do something soon."

Carlee replied angrily.Afterwards she took out the contract papers from her bag which Nina didn’t sign,tore it in pieces and threw it in the trash can.

Although Sylvia didn’t meet Nina in person much,she was aware that Nina wasn’t someone who would give in that easily.

"Mrs.Timothy,don’t be angry.It’s fine if it doesn’t work out.We will find another way to deal with her very soon."Sylvia consoled Carlee as they started descending upstairs.

For a while both of them kept discussing all the possible ways to deal with the current situation.

Meanwhile Carlee was keenly listening to Sylvia’s plans but all of a sudden all the colors faded away from her face.

"Absolutely not.Yes!I want her to get away from my son’s life but I never wanted to kill her.So no!"

Carlee instantly denied being part of her plan.Even she warned Sylvia not to physically harm Nina.

Her intentions were never to do a physical loss to her.

It was true that she hated Nina,but she didn’t expect it to be life-threatening.

Seeing that Carlee strictly refused her and gave an extreme reaction,Sylvia indirectly understood her bottom line.

"Okay.Mrs.Timothy,what do you think we should do to separate Harley from Nina?"She finally asked her.

Carlee thought for a while,but she had no idea,so she decided to let Sylvia handle it.

"As long as you keep Nina away from Harley and force her to hand over the custody of the child without any physical harm.I am okay!!"

Carlee wanted a win-win result.

Sylvia,on the other hand,felt that Carlee was too naive to deal with the situation.And she was too emotional to make the right decision.

"Well,I’ll do something about it tomorrow,and then I’ll discuss it with you."Sylvia nodded her head.

Although she innocently agreed to Carlee’s conditions for now,she still wanted to kill Nina.

That night,Nina sang a lullaby and her daughter True went into deep slumber,but she kept tossing and turning in her bed.Carlee’s words were echoing in her ears and she remembered how she insulted her with money today.

And thinking about how Harley was aware about everything,she felt a sharp shooting pain in her chest.

Nina had been distressed the whole night.She wanted to get rid of the current mess as soon as possible.Next Morning

After feeding her daughter,Nina went to her parents and told them about her decision.

"Dad,mom,I want to take True out of town and settle down in a small city.Far away from this place."She mumbled hesitatingly.

Her parents were surprised to know that Nina wanted to leave the city.

""Don’t act childishly.True is so young.It’s not possible to take care of her in a strange city and that too alone."

Her mother Ariana sternly objected.

Meanwhile her father patiently persuaded her,"If you live here,we can help you take care of the child.You will have no one by your side there..What if something happened?How will you deal with that?"

Her parents made sense.Somewhere she agreed to them but she was afraid that if she stayed there,the Timothy family would use money and power to take her daughter’s custody.

"It doesn’t matter.I will find a way to deal with it.Besides,now True has recovered and I have my own savings.I can take care of her and then I will find a job."

Nina was adamantly stuck at her point and the only thing she wanted by then was to live in another city.

Her parents kept pursuing her but everything was in vain.Nina wanted to tell them the real reason but she kept quiet.

So at last they had no choice but to accept the plan that Nina had come up with.And it was decided that she would leave next month.

The decision gave Nina strength and she got a little reassured.

Already she started looking for the cities where she could choose a stable place to live.

In between that time,Nina had no idea about Harley.She didn’t know that he was writing a script instead of acting,as Jasmine motivated him to do that.

Harley didn’t want to rely on his mother any more.Every day,he was looking forward to the day when his career would get better and he would get Nina and his daughter back at his side.
