Only you in my love
Chapter 532 A Clear Head

Nina smiled, "Then you can also refuse to eat. If you want to eat, let's sit down and talk."

"Talk? Do we need to have so many people talking? The more the merrier, though."

Demi took a bite from the cake. "What do you want to know? I will answer some simple questions. As for other questions, let me go and I'll tell you."

Even though Demi's head was spinning and her voice was frail, she managed to maintain a clear head and negotiated with Nina.

Nina was taken aback. 'Demi is so calm and composed.'

"Demi, you were a commercial spy around Count Nangong and leaked a lot of secret information to your boss. That's illegal, you know?" Nina said in a cold voice. "It's illegal for you to take my children away from me. Do you understand?"

Demi avoided Nina's gaze. She picked up her glass of hot milk and in a calculating tone, she said, "The law requires evidence. You have no proof that I revealed any secrets. I didn't mean to take away your children. I just needed to get some hair from your children to have a paternity test."

Demi sneered and looked at Cali. "It was Cali's fault. She took away your children and ran away. I didn't want that to happen; I wanted your children to get back to you."

Cali, who was taken aback by the accusation, gritted her teeth in anger. "Actually, you were the one who wanted to hurt the children. You even took off their bracelets."

"That's true. I did take off the bracelets. But I didn't take away the children; nor did I wanted to. All I was after was their hair. Why would I even take the children in the first place? What would I gain from that? I'm not an idiot," Demi said mockingly.

She took another bite and sipped some more milk. After a while, she regained her composure and spoke with more strength in her voice.

However, Demi's eyes were still gentle and the calm still persisted whenever she looked at people. Nina didn't detect any deception lurking beneath those eyes.

'So their plan was just to get the children's hair.'

"You said you never revealed any secrets, right?" Vicente doubted what Demi had said. "If that's the case, then why did Jett know my plans and whereabouts?"

"Why had you never suspected me?" Demi looked at Vicente and defended herself. "That's because you carried out an investigation and confirmed that I wasn't involved in any of those things.

I admit that I'm a spy but I've never leaked any secrets. Stop spreading lies against me."

Vicente was rendered speechless. 'That's right. Just like Demi said, I never suspected her because she had nothing to do with it.

If Demi is clean, it means I have a more dangerous enemy that's hiding somewhere near me. The worst part is, I don't know who it is.'

Vicente felt a chill down her spine. 'Just how many people are spying on me?'

Noticing Vicente's silence, Demi smiled. "First of all, I never leaked any secret. There's nothing you can do to me. Second, I never abducted any children. Their hair was all that I was after. If you charge me about this, it won't end well for you." Demi shifted her eyes to Nina and cast a strange glance towards her. "You don't want to lose your reputation, do you? We all know the children are not Count Nangong's and yet he's still willing to raise them.

Or maybe not. Maybe he just wants to use your position. Ever since he married you, he and his businesses have been flourishing. His position as Count Nangong has become more and more stable." Demi mocked them openly.

"You..." Vicente's face turned crimson with rage. She wanted to grab her and kick her in the stomach but Nina stopped her before she could.

Cali was frightened by what Demi had said. Her jaw dropped while her eyes were wide open.

'Is Demi telling the truth? The kids are not Count Nangong's?'

Demi chuckled as she observed Cali's dazed state. "Cali, you know something that you shouldn't. You might get killed for it, you know."

Cali was stunned. When she regained her senses, she cursed, "Stop spreading lies and slandering Princess Nina's reputation!"

"They didn't disagree, which means they're in agreement. Did I say anything wrong?" Demi looked at everyone defiantly.

"You are wrong." Nina glared at her. John put his hand on Nina's shoulder, who was about to erupt in anger. "Don't be distracted," he reminded her.

John walked up to Demi and stared through her with his cold piercing eyes. "You are quite calm."

"Thank you for your praise." A calm smile lingered on Demi's face, but quickly vanished as she looked at John. She could feel the repulsion grow stronger with every fiber of her being the more she looked at him. She remembered what happened at the hospital. The pain and fear crawled in her heart like a cold snake.

The mere sound of the man's voice was enough to make her scalp tingle and her legs tremble.

The next second, the trembling feeling became stronger.

"Just now, Nina mentioned nothing about any evidence of a crime. You tried to kill Cali at the hospital; that's attempted murder. With Nina's identity, you would be sentenced to life imprisonment."

John's calm voice echoed in the empty basement. His cold, calculating tone made the people around him shiver with fear.

Especially Demi, her heart pounding against her chest. Even though she was afraid, she stood her ground and refused to admit anything.

"I didn't kill Cali. She's right here!"

"That's because Sean saved me. Otherwise, you would've killed me." Cali pointed at her. "Demi, how dare you try to kill someone? I hope you die a horrible death!"

Demi denied, "I didn't try to kill anyone!"

"You really are smart, aren't you? Have you been trained?" John approached Demi and stood before her like an impregnable wall.

She felt he could see right through her.

Demi's once calm demeanor quickly turned to panic. She looked up at John and dared not to look away. She tried her best not to step back.

"There was a gas explosion six years ago..." As she heard John speak, Demi looked at him with wide eyes. The panic consumed her and she was quick to lower her head.

"That day, one person was found dead while another was injured. Darleen was the one who died while Jett was injured. Because of Jett's special identity, this accident wasn't on the records. You disappeared for a year after the explosion." Demi clasped her knees tightly, her fingers pale as though there was no blood circulating in them.

Before John could continue, Demi gritted her teeth and blurted out, "Stop!"

Her eyes were red and her lips were trembling. The story must have aggravated her to such an extreme extent.

"You don't have to tell me this!" Demi roared. Her voice was hoarse and painful. "I'm Jett's mistress. He's not my boss. You won't get anything useful from me."
