You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 416 Break His Finger

Nina and Jett stared at each other for a long time. Then, she sneered, "What is it? You don't dare to watch the surveillance videos?"

As a matter of fact, Jett did not dare.

His wife disliked Vicente's mother from the bottom of her heart and was often hostile to her. She often said malicious words to Vicente's mother and constantly reminded her of her daughter's death. As a result, the two of them often fought.

Vicente was angry with Jett and his wife, but did not say anything. Every time her mother and Jett's wife got to each other's throats, she just grabbed her mother and walked away.

As Nina had just married Vicente, she did not know anything about the Nangong family, so she was not afraid of Jett at all.

More importantly, she was the princess.

"There's no need for that. In fact, let's just forget this ever happened," Jett said and suppressed his anger. "Elder or not, my aunt doesn't have the right to hurt my wife. She's still at fault here."

"If your wife hadn't said something unpleasant, my mother-in-law wouldn't have scratched her face." At first, Nina thought that Jett was going to compromise, but she was wrong. She did not expect him to make a concession for the sake of advancing blame on Vicente's mother.

'How shameless he is.'

Nina snorted inwardly. She did not even want to look at Jett. He was far less handsome than John.

"Did my wife really say something wrong?" Jett asked. "Is Vicki still alive then?"

Mrs. Nangong, who was still within earshot, heard her daughter's name and stomped back to the living room to confront Jett. She glared at him and screamed, "My daughter is still alive! Don't talk nonsense! She's still alive!" Mrs. Nangong was about to hurl herself at Jett, but Nina caught her in time.

If Mrs. Nangong had succeeded in laying a finger on Jett, she would not have gotten away with it. Jett would have definitely made a fuss about it, which would do no good to Vicente.

Nina had married Vicente, putting them in the same boat and making them share the same fate. It was one of her responsibilities now to think about her new husband's future.

"Don't believe him, Mom. He doesn't know what he's saying." Holding Mrs. Nangong in her arms, Nina nodded at the servant who went after her mother-in-law and said, "Why are you just standing there? Help me take her away."

"Of course. I'm sorry." The servant came forward and took Mrs. Nangong away. This time, she was taken far away enough from overhearing Nina and Jett's conversation.

Without all the noise Mrs. Nangong made, the living room finally quieted down. As Nina breathed a sigh of relief, Jett said slowly, "I wasn't talking nonsense. Don't you know that her daughter Vicki is dead?"

"I didn't." Nina raised her voice. "Are we done here?"

Her imposing manner stunned Jett for a moment. Then, he said reluctantly, "Yes."

Judging from her tone, he knew that she obviously knew about Vicki's death. She just deliberately answered him that way.

To Jett, it was not a good thing that Nina protected Vicente like this. Jett knew clearly why Vicente married her.

Vicente simply wanted to stabilize his position in the Nangong family.

Jett wondered why a man like Vicente, who only wanted to be powerful, would be careless enough to fall in love with a woman. It was stupid. It was like buying himself a weakness.

Case in point, Jett never loved his wife. He only married her because of her strong family background.

Jett looked thoughtfully at Nina.

Seeing that she defended her husband, Jett was sure that Nina must have a deep love for Vicente. He wondered if she knew that Vicente married her just because of her family background. "You care about Vicente very much," Jett said affirmatively.

Nina watched him carefully. She wondered why he sounded so certain about what he just said.

She also wondered how he could be so sure that she loved Vicente.

He was wrong on that count. The person she loved was John, the father of her baby.

Nina wanted to look at Jett as if she was looking at an idiot, but that could expose her true thoughts, so she simply nodded and said, "He's not that bad."

"Not that bad?" Jett could not believe what he just heard. He did not expect such an answer.

This time, Nina really looked at Jett with disgust. She shook her head and sneered. "You don't even understand the meaning of those words. You're so stupid."

"How dare you?" Embarrassed, Jett glared at Nina. Her words offended him.

Among the members of the Nangong family, Jett and Vicente were the smartest ones, but Jett's intelligence quotient was higher than Vicente's. Jett believed that that should have made him the count instead o his cousin.

He thought, 'If Vicki hadn't accidentally eaten the drugged soup, which was meant to poison Vicente more than twenty years ago, I would've been named the count.

In the Nangong family, I'm the most capable person of my generation. I should be the count.'

Every time Jett thought about this, the anger in his heart surged and flared. He pointed a finger at Nina and said, "Don't think that you can insult me to my face and get away with it just because you're a princess."

Nina stared at the finger in front of her, and her face instantly darkened. She raised her eyes and looked straight at Jett without saying anything.

It was just like the calm before the storm.

"I've never insulted anyone to their face. I've just told them the truth."

Nina's calm but intense stare made the hair on the back of Jett's neck stand on end. His curses froze in his throat as he slowly realized what a fatal mistake he had just made pointing a finger at the princess of C Island.

In the blink of an eye, Nina grabbed Jett's finger and snapped it backward, reducing him into a screaming mess.

The index finger of his right hand broke like a dried twig. The slightest movement brought about searing, blinding pain.

"Don't point a finger at me," Nina warned him word by word. "Because I will break it right before your eyes."

The pain in his finger and his fear of Nina instantly occupied the entirety of Jett's brain, silencing him. He slowly took a small step back.

Noticing what he was doing, Nina sneered, "Are you afraid? You should be. You were being very rude."

Jett thought, 'Barbaric! So barbaric!

I've never met such a savage woman in my life who breaks people's finger without batting an eye.' "You will regret what you have done to me." Jett swallowed his fear and let his arrogance resurface. Since Nina broke his finger and introduced him to a world of hurt, he would also make her feel pain. Heartbreaking pain.

Right then and there, Jett decided that he would break Nina's heart.

Mental pain was far more tormenting than physical injury.

It was unpleasant and not easy to heal.

A fierce look flashed across Jett's face. "Do you really think that Vicente loves you? He only married you because of your identity as a princess. He never would've paid attention to you if you weren't from the royal family."

Jett had made it clear to Nina.

Nina stood still and replied, "And to your disappointment, I was born a princess."

Jett looked stunned. He did not believe that there was such a stupid woman in the world. "I just told you that my cousin only married you because of your royal blood. Don't you mind at all?"

"No, not at all." Nina shook her head slightly.

Of course she did not mind.

It was John she was in love with. Besides, Vicente was a woman.

"Are you crazy? How can you be okay with that?" Jett shook his head and sighed pitifully.

Nina was getting tired of talking to Jett. She looked outside but did not see Vicente. She could not help muttering, "He went out to get the pregnancy test report. I wonder why he hasn't come back yet." Standing not far from Nina, Jett heard her whispering. His mocking smile gradually stiffened and then completely vanished from his face.

His dark pupils steadily constricted as he came to the horrifying realization that he had picked a fight he could not win.

"Pregnancy test? What pregnancy test? Are you pregnant?" Jett darted his eyes to Nina's belly. She was wearing a loose shirt, so it was difficult to see if she was pregnant.

Jett wondered, 'How could she be pregnant?

How could she be pregnant with Vicente's child?'☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
