"Nina slipped? She's not a toddler or an old woman to be teetering while she walks." Julie collapsed into her husband's arms and wailed with tearful eyes. "I think she did it on purpose!"
Julie firmly believed that Nina sought to harm her baby, but she couldn't answer when Howard asked her why Nina did so.
She could only cry and curse the younger woman.
Howard knew that Julie was upset, so he didn't stop her diatribe. He turned to his daughter and asked, "Vivi, tell me what happened. If what your mother said is true, then I will seek justice for her no matter what. Even though Nina is the princess of C Island, she's not above the law!"

Henry blushed but said in a calm voice, "Please pay attention to your image."
Adrian smiled and said nothing. He grabbed the car keys and walked out.
He drove Howard to the North Yard. On the way, Howard snorted, "You're the CEO of the Song Group. Why are you doing a lowly job of running errands for Mr. Shi?"
Adrian pretended not to understand Howard's sarcasm. He said with a carefree smile, "You know what, one of my friends said the exact same thing!"
He glanced at Howard. "Come to think of it, you and he look quite alike."
