Chapter 24\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sean returned to The Bronner Estate and used all his connections to investigate, only to find that Isabelle had been re- leased on bail.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They said she had signed a voluntary transfer agreement with the girl whose heart was taken.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No one was a fool; it was obvious this was just an excuse to get away with it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the police couldn\u2019t do anything to Isabelle and had to release her in the end.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And the one who tampered with the car was Isabelle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sean rushed to the hospital with the evidence. This time, he was going to prove to Nina that he wasn\u2019t behind it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But just as he arrived at the hospital, he saw a familiar figure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A sense of unease washed over him, and Sean followed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The person was wearing baggy clothes to hide their figure, but Sean recognized her at a glance\u2013it was Isabelle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wanted to see what Isabelle was up to.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He watched as Isabelle weaved nimbly through the crowd, finally stopping in front of Zackery\u2019s hospital room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing this, Sean\u2019s pupils constricted. Nina was in that room too!\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next moment, the door was pushed open, and Nina walked out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment she saw Nina, Isabelle\u2019s expression turned vicious, and she burst out laughing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow does it feel?\u00a0<\/p>\n
It doesn\u2019t feel good when the person you love is about to die, does it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nina couldn\u2019t help but frown. \u201cIt\u2019s still better than being someone\u2019s mistress.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had just found out that Isabelle wasn\u2019t the young lady of the White family, but the mistress of the head of the White family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Those words were like rubbing salt in Isabelle\u2019s wound. She had been so close to marrying Sean and escaping the head of the White family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Nina had ruined it all!\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was forced to go back to serving that old man. The thought of his wrinkled skin made Isabelle want to vomit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Isabelle\u2019s expression instantly turned savage. She pulled a vial of liquid from her pocket and quickly threw it at Nina.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Seeing this, Sean rushed forward to shield Nina. The acid made contact with his skin, instantly corroding it, and the pain made Sean break out in a cold sweat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His fingers trembled slightly, and he couldn\u2019t help but cry out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAh!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nina froze, staring at the scene before her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had never thought Sean would get hurt protecting her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Isabelle was immediately restrained by the people around them, but she still looked at Nina smugly, without a trace of fear.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNina, Jessica is at the edge of a cliff.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIn another half hour, she and the bomb on her are going to go \u201cboom\u201c.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nina\u2019s eyes flew wide open. She grabbed Isabelle\u2019s shoulders tightly. \u201cWhere is Jessica!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Isabelle giggled, then softly uttered a few words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJade River Cliff.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nina didn\u2019t have time to worry about Sean. She rushed out of the hospital, got in her car, and sped off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Time ticked by, but she still hadn\u2019t reached the location. Right now, Nina was like an ant on a hot pan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tiny beads of sweat formed on her forehead, dripping into her eyes and causing a stinging pain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finally, she reached Jade River Cliff.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She immediately saw Jessica dangling from the cliff\u2019s edge, a large bag of explosives strapped to her body.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After stopping the car, she instantly rushed toward Jessica, trying to untie the rope binding her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ten minutes left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The rope was tied very tightly. Nina\u2019s hands started to bleed from the effort, but she still couldn\u2019t untie it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica was hanging limply, barely conscious. She looked at the frantic Nina and said weakly, \u201cDon\u2019t waste your ener- gy. You can\u2019t untie it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
You need to go, now. Otherwise, neither of us will survive.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing those words from the usually tough Jessica, Nina\u2019s tears started to fall, dripping onto the back of Jessica\u2019s hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She snapped viciously, \u201cShut your mouth!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica actually fell silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She tilted her head back to look at Nina. Nina\u2019s eyes were bloodshot, tears dripping down one after another, but she didn\u2019t stop what she was doing for a second.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Is this what it means to be family?\u00a0<\/p>\n
A strange feeling washed over Jessica.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The rope came loose!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nina wrapped the rope around her hands and pulled back frantically. The rope dug deep into her skin, and blood slowly seeped out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But she didn\u2019t make a sound.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nina knew that the slightest distraction at a moment like this could get both her and Jessica killed, and she wasn\u2019t willing to take that chance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica was pulled up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nina, holding the scissors she\u2019d brought, looked at Jessica.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One minute left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nina whispered, \u201cDo you trust me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
