You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 536 Reaching An Agreement

Now, Nina had the upper hand, so she took the initiative.

Seeing how Jett was filled with resentment, Nina continued, "Demi told me that she hated you because you married Ruby."

The expression in Jett's eyes quickly changed from resentment to guilt.

"Demi tried to kill Cali. She has broken the law." Nina raised her teacup as if to give a toast to Jett. Just as the teacup touched her lips, she paused. "You know, she told us that she didn't know about what you've done and that you weren't her real boss. She also said that since she lost an eye, her boss wouldn't want her anymore and that it didn't matter if she went to prison.

She is also stupid. Her husband betrayed her and used her as a spy. And yet she's still trying to protect him." With a smile, Nina drank the tea in her cup.

Nina's words were like thorns stabbing Jett's heart.

Jett was almost out of breath because of the pain and guilt that he felt at that moment. His face was as pale as a piece of paper.

He sat down again and lowered his head. Speaking in a low voice, he tried to negotiate with Nina. "I'll destroy this paternity test report in front of you. I promise it won't spread out. Just give her back to me." Picking up the test report, Nina said to him, "If you destroy this document, we won't pursue charges against her for attempted murder. But if you want her back, you'll have to offer something else." "Nina, don't push your luck." Furious, Jett grasped the edge of the table tightly.

Knowing that she had the upper hand, Nina looked at him calmly. "You can refuse my conditions, but that means Demi will stay in the dark, empty basement the rest of her life."

"You've been locking her in the basement?" Jett's body trembled slightly. His eyes narrowed with anger, but he agreed without hesitation. "Okay. You can say whatever you want. I will agree."

Nina was stunned that he agreed so readily. 'I just wanted to give it a try. I didn't expect that Demi really means the world to him.'

Nina then straightened herself and stated her conditions. "As long as you give up that project and stop fighting with Vicente, I will let Demi go."

"Nina, you really are very considerate, aren't you? People who don't know you might think you love Vicente so much," Jett mocked. "I can give up that project. However, it's impossible for me to stop fighting with him."

The two of them looked into each other's eyes, both not giving in.

After a long stalemate, Nina's eyes softened. 'As long as Vicente wins the project, her position will be stable. I won't have to worry about anything then.

Since Vicente is also determined not to give up, I'll let them fight.

Competition is good. Let them balance each other out.'

While Nina was thinking, Jett quipped sarcastically, "I know why you're so keen on helping him stabilize his position. You're doing this so you can divorce him as soon as possible and be with your real man. Am I right?

I knew there must be an agreement between you and Vicente.

Vicente is a loser. He needs a woman's help."

Nina didn't say anything because what Jett said was right. 'It's true. I want to end my agreement with Vicente so I could be with John and the children.

If this hadn't happened, it would have taken Vicente two or three years to achieve her goal.

But now that there is a shortcut, why not take it?'

"Listen, Jett, even if we reach an agreement today, I will make you pay if you ever go back on your end of the bargain. If word goes out about the paternity test, I will make sure that Demi gets locked up and that the relationship between the two of you will be exposed. When that happens, Ruby and Lin family will surely go after you and Demi."

After she finished speaking, Nina stood up and left.

Before she left, Jett managed to take one last jab at her. "Nina, you know that the truth will eventually come out even if I don't tell anyone. No secret is ever truly safe. You and Vicente will suffer a worse fate than me.

The two of you are so popular nowadays. When the public finds out that you only married for money and power, you will suffer from public criticism. And you are not the only one involved. If you fall from grace, you bring the whole royal family with you."

Standing up, Jett flashed a cunning smile at her.

"It's none of your business." Afterward, Nina turned around and walked away. She was not happy at all with what Jett said to her.

He succeeded in upsetting her.

Outside the teahouse, John and Cali had been waiting anxiously for Nina to come out. Cali saw Nina head out of the building. She immediately rushed over and held Nina's hand.

"Your Highness, are you okay? Did Jett bully you?" she asked in a concerned voice.

"No, he didn't," Nina answered with a smile. When she saw John, she was a little surprised. "Weren't you supposed to be in Scher Mountain with Leon? What are you doing here?" John looked at Nina and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you're alright."

"Your Highness, I'm sorry that I called Sean here. I was afraid that you'd be in danger," Cali apologized. "I called Count Nangong as well, but he didn't answer. I didn't have Prince Leon's number, so I had to use your phone. I chose a random number, and I didn't expect that..."

'That it would be Sean,' Cali thought to herself.

Nina's eyebrows twitched. "It doesn't matter," she said to Cali, patting her on the shoulder.

"I never save any phone numbers. I talked to Sean about teaching the kids martial arts a lot. That's why you managed to call him."

Cali still felt that it was a bit strange, but she just nodded.

On the way back, the atmosphere in the car was off.

What Jett said to Nina might have really affected her. She didn't dare to get too close to John in fear of being discovered.

Everyone was silent the whole trip back to the castle.

Once she got out of the car, Nina quickly walked away. She didn't want to raise suspicion about John and her by walking beside him.

Because of this, Cali happened to walk beside John instead. Although they didn't speak to each other, some people were discreetly casting glances at them.

When John realized that something was wrong, he knew that he had to contact Nina through his phone.

"Sean, where are you going?" Watching him leave, Cali felt a little regretful. "If only we could walk a little longer."

"How long do you want to walk with him?" Without warning, a maid appeared behind Cali, scaring her.

Cali turned around and looked at her. She took a deep breath and asked, "Ivy, why are you sneaking up on me?"

Ivy looked at her indifferently. "You know, I think you're so obsessed with Sean."

"Ivy, don't talk nonsense," Cali answered shyly.

"Why are you blushing?"

"No, I'm not." Cali touched her face. It was indeed a little hot.

"Anyway, don't talk nonsense. Sean will be angry if he hears it," she said to Ivy, feeling even more embarrassed.

"Really? I don't think so." Ivy shook her head. "Sean has always been wearing the same expression. It's hard to tell whether he is angry or not."

Cali didn't answer, so Ivy elbowed her and prodded further. "Is there anything wrong between you and Sean?"☐☐☐☐☐
