Chapter 1379

At the mention of Luther, Nina's eyes filled with sadness. "I was only gone for six years, and your mom has already caught his attention... Do you think she's good enough for my brother?"

Darius didn't really understand what she was implying, but her wild laughter made it clear there was tension between her and Luther.

Nina's mood brightened momentarily, but then suspicion clouded her expression. "Don't think you can fool me by lying. I know you've lived with him for four years, and your mom has always been close to my brother. He even proposed to her in front of everyone."

Nina recalled how she had spiraled into anger when she read the headline: [President of Luther Corp. proposed to an employee at Linowa Coast. They were secretly dating.]
