MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 2 - Season 5 Episode 15

Mrs. Nangong shrank further behind Nina and avoided looking into Jett’s cold eyes.

One of the bodyguards took out his phone and played a video for Nina.

In the video, Mrs. Nangong grabbed Jett’s wife’s hair and scratched her face. A few servants rushed over to break up the fight, but Mrs. Nangong could not be stopped. She was like a bull charging at a matador’s cape.

Like Jett said, his wife was left distressed and bleeding.

“The evidence is conclusive.” Jett waved his hand and asked the bodyguard to put the phone away. His eyes burned with almost tangible anger. “I’m not about to sit around and pretend that my wife didn’t get hurt.”

Nina frowned. It seemed that Jett would not let this go unless she gave him what he wanted.

“It’s already done. What do you want?”

“It’s very simple.” Jett restrained the anger in his eyes and shifted his gaze from Nina to the shaking Mrs. Nangong. “I want her left to me.”

“That’s not going to happen.” Nina refused decisively and stood protectively in front of her mother-in-law.

Jett knew Nina was going to say that, so he said, “Then let me speak to Vicente.” “He’s not home yet.” Nina vigilantly looked at Jett. She knew that he did not just want a simple talk with her new husband.

On their wedding day, Nina could tell from the attitude of the elders of the Nangong family that Vicente was not welcomed in the clan. It also showed through the way Vicente spoke around them. Every word she uttered was impeccable and calculated, making Nina think that she was treading on thin ice.

On the contrary, the attitude of the elders toward Jett was completely different. They smiled kindly at him and spoke to him in an easygoing way.

Why was there such a big difference?

Although Nina was suspicious, she did not ask Vicente. She would tell her the reason when she was ready. It was not her place to force it out of her.

“I’ll tell him about it when he gets home. Please leave now.”

“Fine.” Jett nodded and ordered the bodyguards to tie up Mrs. Nangong. Knowing that Jett would not give up so easily, Nina reached out to stop his bodyguards.

“What are you doing?”

The two bodyguards only followed Jett’s orders and insisted on going forward to grab Mrs. Nangong. With cold eyes and clenched fists, Nina considered dealing with the men herself, but thinking about the three-month-old baby in her belly, she decided against it.

The doctor had told her that women in their first trimester had an extremely high risk of getting a miscarriage if they were not careful. Now that she had a life to protect inside of her, she had to be more cautious.

“I’m the princess. Who dares to be presumptuous in front of me?”

As expected, the two bodyguards stopped dead in their tracks. They turned their heads to look at Jett and awaited his further orders.

With Nina’s identity as the princess, no one dared step out of line in her presence.

This was the first time that Nina felt that her identity as a princess was not that bad because she could use it to protect the ones she cared for.

Jett looked displeased for a moment and suddenly smiled. “Nina, since you have married into the Nangong family, you’re already one of us. This is a family matter.

She scratched my wife’s face, so she pay for it. I’ll take her back, and only Vicente can get her back from me. This is how we do things in Nangong family, and it’s about time that you learn it.”

He was telling her about the lines she could not cross even with royal blood running through her veins.

Nina knew that Jett was warning her. Now that she was a member of the Nangong family, she should do things like they did.

At this point, Nina was left with no choice.

“I’m Vicente’s wife. In his absence, I’m the most powerful person in this household.” With a natural noble aura, Nina stood her ground, making everyone around her want to submit. “You can’t take my mother-in-law away.”

Jett did not expect that a girl way younger than he was could be so tough. Things were not going as planned.

He heard that Nina was timid and never stirred up trouble, so he thought that if he came looking for a fight, she would just fold. He came to intimidate Nina and take away Mrs. Nangong. And then he would wait for Vicente to come crawling to his door and beg for his mother’s freedom.

However, Jett had terribly underestimated Nina.

“My aunt should be responsible for what she has done to my wife. Don’t you think you’re being unfair by blindly protecting her?” Jett asked patiently.

Nina had never liked dragging things like this out. She smiled and said, “She’s my mother-in-law. You hurt her. Of course I’m going to protect her.”

Before Jett could say another word, Nina interjected, “You can’t have her. Leave her alone. I’m not going to tell you again, Jett.”

“Nina,” Jett almost begged, trying his best to rein in his anger. “You’re a princess. You’re supposed to be reasonable.”

“Fine. Then let’s be reasonable.” Nina spoke calmly, turned around, and held Mrs. Nangong’s hand. “You’ve said your piece. Now I want to hear what really happened from my mother-in-law.”

Mrs. Nangong looked at Nina with watery eyes. It broke Nina’s heart looking at her. She looked like a frightened deer.

Jett frowned and screamed discontentedly, “What do you mean? Do you think we’re setting her up? You already saw what happened in the video.”

“Keep your voice down. Don’t you see you’re scaring her?” Since Jett liked to speak loudly, Nina gave him a dose of his own medicine and bellowed back at him.

As long as Mrs. Nangong saw and heard Jett, she trembled and her eyes brimmed with fear.

Even if everybody was saying that she was insane, her physical reactions did not lie.

It seemed that Jett had bullied Vicente’s family a lot.

“Mom, can you tell me what happened?” Nina tried her best to make her voice sound gentle so that Mrs. Nangong would not be frightened.

Mrs. Nangong held Nina’s hand in hers, and after a while, she slowly described what had happened between her and Jett’s wife. “The bad woman hit me. I grabbed her hair and pulled hard when she hit me. She also said bad things about you. She said you were dead, so I got angry. I scratched her face and mouth because she was talking nonsense. She cursed you. She’s a bad woman. She deserved it.”

Then, Nina asked the servant to escort Mrs. Nangong out.

With Mrs. Nangong gone, she was left with Jett and his two stocky bodyguards in the large living room. Jett’s face changed slightly. He sneered before Nina could speak. “You believe a madwoman’s words?”

“You know whether my mother-in-law was lying or not.” Nina turned around and looked into Jett’s eyes. She raised her chin slightly and continued, “You should’ve investigated both sides of the incident, not just your wife’s. Your little video is just a piece of the entire fight. If you want me to be reasonable, then I want to see and hear every part of the whole story.”

Jett gritted his teeth and said nothing. “There are many surveillance cameras in this castle. We should go and check the tapes.” Nina slowly poured herself a glass of warm water.

She was a little thirsty after talking so much just now.

The room suddenly fell deathly silent, so quiet that Nina could almost hear Jett’s teeth gnashing together. Jett just stood there, trying so hard not to spontaneously combust in anger.

Why was Nina so hard to deal with?
