Chapter 713 It Just Could Not Be Xander Noticing the sudden change in Nina's expression, Avery suddenly felt she had asked the wrong question. Avery helplessly said, "I'm sorry, Nina. I shouldn't have asked those questions. Did Xander force you?" Avery knew better than anyone that the darkness that once enveloped Nina was due to Aaron-that monster who had ruined Nina. But ironically, Xander was that monster's older brother.

The entanglement between them was simply too complex to be encapsulated in a single sentence. Nina stood by the window, silently gazing at the brilliant sun outside. The golden sunlight shot into her pupils, causing a sharp pain in her eyes. Bearing the bitterness in her heart, Nina softly said to Avery, "Actually, it's not a big deal. Many things are beyond our control. I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me. I've become immune to any man now.

Having gone through some unpleasant experiences, I see things more clearly than anyone else. My defenses are as thick as a city wall. Not everyone can hurt me." "I'm sorry. If it wasn't for me that year..." Avery was overwhelmed with guilt. Back then, if it weren't for me, Nina would still be that cheerful, lively, and optimistic girl. But because of my involvement, a wonderful woman was tragically ruined. With a fit of feigned anger, Nina glared at Avery and pinched the latter's arm.

"Hey, it's been so many years since all that happened. Aren't you done with it yet? I've almost forgotten about those dark times, but you keep bringing it up. Are you trying to reopen my old wounds? That's really mean!" How could I possibly blame Avery? She's my best friend, after all. Moreover, it was my own decision to stalk Dylan in the first place, hoping to capture evidence of his infidelity, all to stand up for Avery. But I can only blame my own bad luck for encountering that devil Aaron.

This really has nothing to do with Avery. Moreover, after my mishap, Mr. Moore immediately provided me with a financial compensation of millions, which made me feel it would be disrespectful to refuse. Later on, after Avery became Trident Group's acting CEO, she provided me with substantial assistance and care in my work. No matter how I look at it, I'm the one who benefited greatly. To be honest, Avery has been really good to me.
