Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1512

Chapter 1512: Do you really want to take that away from him?

Power was sometimes a terrifying thing — especially when you weren’t the one holding it.

Nina couldn’t confidently say her instincts were always right, but when she sensed something, she trusted it. Just like now. After listening and subtly observing her former boss, her instincts told her there was something more the woman was hiding.

And she was right.

After sharing a cup of coffee, the two parted ways.

Still, it weighed heavily on Nina’s heart.

The Davis family might not have gone so far as to blacklist her former boss, but that didn’t make them innocent. If they hadn’t meddled in Nina’s life to the point of stepping on others without a second thought, things wouldn’t have snowballed like this.

They didn’t play fair, and now, someone else is paying a huge price just because they upheld something they believed.

Cruel.

Surely, this world was cruel and unfair.

Seated in the backseat of the car, Nina lifted her eyes to the two bodyguards in the front. Her lips pressed into a thin line. Since Finn left for his short business trip two days ago, the bodyguards he’d hired for her had been watching her like hawks.

Thankfully, they didn’t interfere. Wherever she wanted to go or whatever she wanted to do—they simply followed. They wouldn’t even strike up a conversation unless she asked them something. Nina had started to get used to this setup.

"Make a turn," Nina said after a long silence. "I’m going to drop by the Davis residence."

The driver glanced at her in the rearview mirror and gave a silent nod before steering the wheel. The bodyguard in the passenger seat, meanwhile, sent a message to alert their colleagues of the change in direction.

Silence settled in the car once again.

Nina turned toward the window, sighing faintly as she prepared to settle some unfinished business.

Less than an hour later, Nina found herself standing in front of the Davis residence.

When the door opened, her brows lifted at the sight of an elderly maid stepping out.

"Miss Nina Reed?" the maid asked gently, her wrinkled face warm with a soft smile.

Nina returned the smile. "Is Madam Davis home?"

"Yes, Young Madam. She just returned last night. She already knows you’re here. Please, follow me," the maid said, motioning for Nina to come along. But instead of walking ahead, she slowed her steps and turned to look at her.

Nina noticed the flicker of excitement in the older woman’s eyes. "Are you... Nana?"

"Oh? Did the Young Master mention me?"

"Yes," Nina’s smile stretched as she chuckled softly. "He said many good things about you."

"It’s alright," Nina replied, understanding Nana’s concern. I’m not in a particularly good mood either.
