Love On Ice: Don’t Leave Me, My Charming Liar

Chapter 105: Johnny faltered, his words tinged with hesitation. "Haven't we already caused her enough trouble? What else do you plan?" "Trouble for her? How exactly? Aren't you aware she's charming Ethan? She's trying to snatch your sister's future husband, and yet you defend her?" Johnny's shock was evident. That couldn't be right. He searched her face for the truth, skeptical. "Really? Isn't she supposed to be his niece?

How could she engage in such behavior?" "Her boldness is inherited from her mother," Callie said through clenched teeth, yet keeping her voice steady as she took a deep breath. "If you choose her side over your sister's, don't resent my actions against you too." Johnny was left utterly speechless. The following day, which was a holiday, Nyla headed straight to her studio to wrap up outstanding work. She also updated herself on Claudine's condition, which seemed to be improving, allowing her to exhale in relief. With several matters settled, she started to think about the upcoming vacation.

Leading a studio was demanding, yet thankfully, this year had not been a financial burden. Candy appeared at the door, saying, "Miss Green, your mother has arrived." It had been a while since Nyla last saw Vicki, and she hadn't expected her to show up again. Recalling the two million Vicki had last given, she decided to welcome her. "Please, take her to the lounge." Approaching, Nyla saw Vicki sitting anxiously on the lounge sofa, alone this time, her demeanor laden with urgency.

Mₒᵣₑ ᵤₚdₐₜₑₛ ᵢₙ gₐₗₙₒᵥₑₗₛ.ₒₘ As Nyla entered, Vicki rose abruptly and replied, "Nyla, I desperately need your help this time." Nyla observed silently, her arms folded, as Vicki grew visibly more distressed. Vicki's fear was evident as she said, "Nelson has returned, and his hatred for us hasn't waned. Remember when I was pregnant with Nolan? He nearly caused a miscarriage by pushing me down the stairs.

With him around, life for Nolan and me among the Brooks family won't be peaceful." She recalled the harrowing incident when Nelson Brooks, acting ruthlessly, caused her to go into premature labor. The terror of that day still haunted her. Nelson, a year Nyla's senior, was the son of Ryland and his former wife. At that time, Nyla was not yet a part of the Brooks family and only knew of her mother's near-miss but was relieved that Nolan was born safely. Afterward, Vicki endured severe postpartum depression and felt dread every time she encountered Nelson. Nyla had once seen him at the hospital.

Even as a young teen, his somber eyes were a sharp contrast to the deceitful veneer of the Brooks family. "Then leave the Brooks family," Nyla suggested evenly. Vicki paused, taken aback, her expression one of shock. "Leave? How can I just leave? Nolan will be left with nothing if I do. I absolutely cannot leave. You must help me. As long as you follow Ryland's instructions, he will ensure Nelson doesn't harass us." . . .
