Sally showed no remorse and wanted Nash to see Nina's true colors.

Nash walked up to her, expressionless, and coldly asked, "Who let you in?"

Sally replied, "I'm your mother. Why wouldn't I be allowed in?"

She said it as if it was a matter of course.

Nash's lips pressed into a thin line, his eyes cold as ice, filled with a murderous glint.

It was the first time Sally had seen such an expression on Nash's face, and she felt a chill run down her spine.

"You came here to burn down my house?" Nash's voice grew even colder.

Sally, who had been confident, now changed her tune. "I only wanted to teach Nina a lesson, I didn't mean to burn down the house. Nash, how could I possibly cause you trouble..."

"You didn't just want to burn down the house. You intended to harm Nina and her unborn child!" Nash's voice was icy, devoid of any warmth. "You think I won't do anything to you?" The cold words made Sally tremble. "Nash..."

Nash's chest heaved, his clenched fists shaking, his eyes tinged with a blood-red hue as he sneered, "And now you expect me to defend you? Where do you get the nerve?" Sally became more subdued. "Nash, I'm your mother..."

"Don't call yourself my mother! I'm not your son, right?" Nash's voice was harsh, his lips curling into a cold smile. "If anything had happened to Nina today, how would you plan to face the consequences?"

Sally's face turned pale, unable to believe this was Nash. "Even if you're not my biological son, you grew up in the York family. That makes you my son! How could you turn out like this? Nina must have bewitched you!"

Nina, standing a short distance away, heard Nash's harsh tone and felt it was too much. His gaze towards Sally was unnerving.

She could confront Sally herself. Nash was usually cold and indifferent towards Sall but he seemed unusually aggressive today. It was almost as if he wanted to end Sally right then and there.

Nina was worried he might actually do something drastic. After all, Sally was still his nominal mother. No matter how overbearing she was, Nash had always turned a blind eye before.

As Nash prepared to approach Sally, Nina grabbed his hand. "Nash, let the police handle this."

Nash didn't seem to hear her and forcefully shook off her hand. The force made Nina stagger backward a few steps, nearly twisting her ankle.

Realizing what he had done, Nash turned to her, shocked, his eyes softening. "Nina."

He quickly moved to support her.

Nina, heavily pregnant, was moving slowly. Thankfully, she was unharmed. Had she not steadied herself, she might have fallen.

Nash's reaction was abnormally intense. His whole demeanor was aggressive, not just towards Sally but even towards her. However, when she looked into his eyes, they seemed normal again, filled only with concern for her, making her doubt her own perception. "Are you okay?" Nash asked, holding her waist gently. "Did you get hurt? Would you feel better sitting down?"

Nina gazed into his deep eyes, pushing aside her strange thoughts. "I'm fine."

She glanced at Sally and said, "Take her to the police. Let the law handle this."

She was thinking of Nash's future, afraid that any extreme reaction might affect his career. He wasn't just the CEO of the York family but also a military officer, unable to afford any blemish on his record.

Nash agreed. "We'll do as you say."

He turned to the security guards. "Take her away!"
