Quincy visibly panicked. "Miss Nina, please go back to your room. I'll handle this."

Sally had never liked Nina, and with Nash gone, Quincy, who had been entrusted with Nash's wishes, could not let the widow suffer any mistreatment. Nina gestured with her hand. "There's no need. I'll see her myself."

Quincy could help her handle the situation this time, but he would not always be there to do so. Nina patted Quincy's shoulder and went downstairs to meet Sally.

Sally stood in the living room, wearing a pale white dress embroidered with peonies. She was adorned with a full set of emerald jewelry, giving her a gentle and elegant appearance. However, her gaze was anything but kind. Sally had never shown Nina a friendly face. "Nina, how dare you come back here?"

Sally, in her high heels, stormed towards Nina, but Nina caught her wrist and forcefully pushed her away. Sally stumbled, nearly falling.

In disbelief, Sally glared at Nina. "Nina, you! How dare you lay a hand on me? You have truly lost all respect!"

Nina's eyes flashed with determination. The woman standing before Sally now was completely different from the Nina she had known. And it had not even been that long. Despite her small frame, Nina displayed surprising strength. Nina's gaze was icy. "If you have something to say, say it. Don't resort to physical aggression and overstep your bounds."
