CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 133

Nina inquired, "What's your educational background?"

Sue answered, "I graduated from a local university."

"We only recruit graduates from prestigious schools. Your credentials don't meet our standards," Nina promptly declined.

Sue's demeanor soured, but she plastered on a smile and retorted, "But you're employed there, aren't you? With a cousin like you, the alma mater shouldn't matter."

Nina replied icily, "A reputable company adheres to standards. If you're so keen on cutting corners, you'll crumble sooner or later. There won't be any room for you."

After being rebuffed repeatedly, Sue grew disgruntled. "Nina, you're just unwilling to lend a hand. That's why you're saying this."

"You're well aware of it. If you're always depending on others, you'll be worse off than a beggar when no one lends a hand," Nina's words were cutting.

"If you won't help me, fine, but why insult me? Mom, look at her!" Sue couldn't bear the humiliation, her eyes turning red with anger.

Seeing her daughter upset, Lily scolded, "Nina, why are you talking to your cousin like that? She's your cousin, show some respect. You shouldn't let success get to your head just because you're successful."

Nina's expression remained composed as she replied calmly, "I haven't gotten arrogant. Even within a loving family, it's not as if you all appreciate us. You even managed to upset my father enough that he ended up in the hospital."

"You..." Lily was speechless, resorting to her usual unreasonable tactics, "Nina, you don't respect me. If even you treat me like this, how can I live..."

Zion didn't want to hear her crying, so he said, "Enough, let's not talk about it. Let Xander deal with his own problems."

"No, Zion, if you don't help, Xander will die!"

"Enough! This is a hospital, not a market. If you want to cry, go home and cry," Nina couldn't bear their relentless harassment. She had grown up witnessing their behavior. If they didn't get what they wanted, they would throw tantrums.

Ignoring Nina's words and their own dignity, Lily retorted, "This is my good niece, disrespecting her aunt. I might as well die than marry into your family and be treated like this."

She then attempted to bang her head against the wall. Sue tried to stop her, crying out, "Mom, please don't do this. Dad still needs you. Don't leave me!"

Zion coughed uncontrollably, unable to speak.

The door was open, and whether it was from outside or inside the ward, fingers were pointing at them. Exposing family problems in public only provided fodder for gossip.

Amidst the chaos, a tall figure appeared at the doorway, his voice stern, "What's going on here?"
