MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND - Season 2 Episode 33

Albert did not set his gaze upon anyone, so no one knew who he was talking about.

Nina had a vague idea that Albert loved a girl who liked the Pink Panther because every time he saw the Pink Panther, he sweetly smiled.

“You are obviously hiding the identity of the one you love. There’s no way anyone can find out who she is,” Nina teased.

“Who I love should remain my secret,” Albert said calmly, looking at Nina like he was pushing her away with his stare.

In Isabella’s eyes, such an eye contact could already be considered as flirting. She clenched her fists and felt her nails dig into her palms. Hatred surged in her chest.

‘The woman Albert loves is really Nina! Why Nina? I don’t understand.

Nina isn’t that good. She may be more beautiful than I am, but I’m much better in terms of family background and character,’ she thought bitterly.

She tugged on Adela’s dress, winked at her, and whispered, “Police station.”

Adela once told her that she saw Nina being handcuffed and pushed into a police car.

Isabella did not know what Nina had done, but there was no denying that Nina had a criminal record.

What had she done that was so awful? Why was she arrested?

But Isabella could not bring it up. She could get into trouble if she did. That was why she was hanging out with Adela.

‘I’d better let this idiot do it. She’s not important anyway. I’ve already given her some gifts. It’s time for her to do something for me in return,’ Isabella mused.

“Ah, Isabella, I suddenly remember something,” Adela started with Isabella’s prodding. She did Isabella’s bidding without even realizing it. “Not long ago, I saw Nina get arrested by the police.”

Her words not only attracted Kristina’s and Albert’s attention but also the attention of those who were standing close enough to hear.

Only three kinds of people went to the police station—the policemen, the criminals, and the witnesses.

The people standing nearby loomed closer, waiting for some juicy gossip. “What do you mean Nina got arrested?” Kristina asked, turning her head to look at Adela. Her tone was harsh, as if she was interrogating Adela.

People in high designations had the most excellent judgment, so Kristina did not believe what Adela said at all.

Nina was Professor Gu’s disciple. There was only one possibility for her to go to the police station. She went there to assist in open cases.

“It’s true, Ms. Ye. At that time, Nina was handcuffed and shoved into a police car. I don’t know if she has done something illegal. Besides, she hasn’t gone to school for a long time. She must have been detained. It seems that she’s just been released today. I mean, look at her clothes. Who shows up to a formal party wearing a man’s overcoat?” The more Adela spoke, the more disgusted she felt. She kept raising her voice to make more people hear what she was saying.

“Did you see everything?” Nina did not object to Adela’s words. After all, the first half was true, but the rest was made up.
With her arms crossed over her chest, Adela said firmly, “I saw everything with my own eyes.”

Isabella, who was standing next to Adela, flashed a sinister smile. It seemed that what Adela said was true and that Nina had really been arrested by the police.

“Nina, if you stay here, you will just be laughed at. I think it’s time for you to leave,” Adela smirked. Isabella feigned concern and said in a soft voice, “Adela, will you please stop? Please quit embarrassing Nina in front of all these people.”

“What, you want her to save face now?

Why can’t she just admit what she has done? Haven’t you suffered enough because of her? She hired people to hit you and posted it on the forum. Why are you still defending her? You treat her like a good friend, but she doesn’t treat you the same way.” Adela did not stop at all.

Looking at Nina’s sad and dejected eyes, Isabella said timidly, “I don’t blame her anymore.”

What a good show! Isabella was acting like Nina was her good friend.

Her acting skills were so good she could qualify for an award.

“It seems that I have to thank Isabella for standing up for me,” Nina said with a faint smile, making it difficult for others to see right through her.

“You used to be my best friend, Nina. I’ve already forgiven you for what you have done to me,” Isabella said in a sad tone.

Anyone who heard Nina and Isabella’s exchange would think that they were actually burying the hatchet.

But Isabella still hated Nina to her core. She had never been the kind and innocent person she was trying to portray in front of everyone now.

Whispers erupted around them. Kristina cast everyone around a warning glance, which made them avert their gaze. As soon as Kristina’s eyes were off them, they started eavesdropping again.

Albert looked at Isabella with an unreadable smile on his face. He wanted to praise her for the show, but he held himself back.

‘She is talented and able to do things for me.’

Kristina carefully thought about what Adela said. Since Nina made no attempt to explain herself, she leaned toward believing Adela. But still, Nina was Professor Gu’s disciple and Noah’s junior. She could not have possibly gone to jail for no good reason.

“I want to hear your side of the story, Nina.” Kristina was a little hesitant, but she still wanted to know what Nina had to say.

They were all women. Of course Kristina could see through Isabella’s hypocrisy and knew that Adela was being used as leverage.

At this time, Albert said softly, “Isn’t that Director Shen?”

He then walked toward Director Shen. “Director Shen, long time no see,” he said by way of greeting. Director Shen, the director of the Lexingport City Police, had just walked in. He and Albert shook hands and saluted each other.

“Albert, fancy seeing you here. You are getting more and more handsome. I heard from Kristina that the Song Group has started a business in a new field.

You are really excellent and outstanding,” Director Shen replied. He was over forty years old but still strong and full of energy unlike other men his age who were fat and sluggish.

“Thank you, Director Shen.

Kristina is over there. I’m sure she’s excited to see you.”

“Oh, yes. I haven’t seen her in a long time.”

Albert led Director Shen to Kristina. Kristina raised her hand and greeted the director with a smile. “Director Shen, I’m so glad to see you. Welcome.”

“You used to call me Uncle Shen when you were a child, but now you call me Director Shen, which sounds so stiff and formal. I prefer you calling me Uncle Shen. It makes me feel like you’re my daughter.” Kristina’s father, who had passed away, was a soldier and had a close relationship with Director Shen.

Kristina’s father had only started his own business on a whim. He did not expect that the Ye Group would grow to be so successful and prosperous.

“Uncle Shen,” Kristina said with a smile.

“That’s more like it,” Director Shen smiled back. Then, he noticed the beautiful girl standing next to Kristina. He grew curious about her because Kristina was holding her hand.

Except for Jessica of the Shi family, Kristina had never been close to any other girl, Vivian included.

“Kristina, who is this pretty lady?”

“It’s an honor to meet you, Director Shen. That pretty lady’s name is Nina Lu. You two have somewhat of a connection. She had been in jail,” Adela interjected sardonically.

“You’re Nina?” Director Shen was a little surprised. He did not know what Nina looked like, but he had a deep impression of her because of the serial murder case she had helped solve.

At this moment, he was wondering if the girl in front of him was the Nina who solved the case or just another girl who had the same name.
