The moment Nydia caught sight of that woman, her pupils contracted sharply, and her back was drenched with cold sweat. She trembled more violently in Jason’s

arms.

The woman, named Mia, was a classmate of hers, who had always been at odds with her. She troubled Nydia time and again, bullied her, and humiliated her. Suddenly, Jason remembered hearing Miss Nydia mention that she was terrified of crossing the street and was frightened by the speeding cars.

Back in the day, when Myra married Emeric, they had many children, all of whom were quite young. Some out of jealousy of the Ashbourne family’s power. They couldn’t hurt Emeric, so they turned their malicious intentions towards his children.

At that time, they believed that Myra was the least favored among the wives, and her children were the least favored among the siblings. They sent someone to attack Nydia, who was only seven at the time, vowing to make Chairman Emeric suffer the pain of losing a child.

Although in the end, Nydia’s life was spared, and she only suffered minor injuries, and Emeric managed to ruin the opposing family, the incident left a deep scar on Nydia’s heart.

At this thought, Jason’s breath hitched, and a surge of anger welled up within him.

“Miss Nydia, are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” Nydia forced a smile, attempting to appear calm.

But her pale face and the cold sweat on her forehead betrayed her inner fear.

At this point, the seductive woman named Mia glanced their way.

Seeing Nydia in the arms of such a handsome man, Mia’s eyes darkened with barely concealed annoyance and jealousy.

She shifted her gaze and saw that this handsome man was driving a Porsche that cost a mere hundred thousand or so. Her twisted–expression gradually became angrier, filled with disdain and contempt.

“Poor and cheap trash.”

Her voice was not loud, but both Jason and Nydia heard it.

Jason was furious, his eyes turning red. “Miss Nydia, please wait for me. I’ll be right back.”

“N–No, Jason!”

Nydia was panicked, but it was too late. Jason had already walked up to the woman with a cold expression..

“Who were you talking about just now?”

“Did I say anything? You must have heard wrong,” Mia looked at the handsome man in front of her, her tone less harsh, but her attitude was still arrogant. Jason clenched his teeth, balling his fists.

He knew this woman was insulting Nydia, but she wouldn’t admit it, and he couldn’t hit a woman!

It was infuriating!

“Mr. Chambers, thank you for dropping me off! I’ll be waiting for your next invitation.” Mia blew a kiss towards the car window, her voice was sickly sweet.
