Nina had no choice but to bring up Douglas.
She used to think there was something between Liliana and Douglas.
But now that she knew Liliana was married, she could only gamble on the possibility that Liliana cared about Douglas's reputation.
Her gamble paid off.
Liliana stopped arguing. She stood there, lost in thought for a long moment, before finally saying, "Alright, I'll try again."
"I'll talk to Miss Woods for you. You should reach out to her yourself," Nina said, dismissing her.
As soon as Liliana left, Nina immediately called Sylvia.
"She's agreed to continue with the Expo Manor design, but… Sylvia, I feel really bad for her."
She trailed off, but Sylvia understood immediately that she was getting soft.
"What's there to feel bad about?"
"Well, she mentioned her husband is cheating on her, right? And just now, I saw that her lip was cut. Her husband must have bitten her. What if he's some kind of pervert? I just feel…"
Nina stammered, too embarrassed to express her sympathy for Liliana too openly.
After all, she was the one who had wanted to get rid of Liliana in the first place.
After a dead silence on the other end of the line, Sylvia's tone became harsh. "Do you really believe everything she says? She has a husband but is still involved with Mr. Sewell from your company. Why would you feel sorry for someone like that?"
"You… you mean she's the one who's cheating?" Nina was shocked.
"From what I can see, she's not the innocent type!" Sylvia brainwashed Nina. "Don't be fooled by her. She's probably just playing games to stay at the company."
Hearing this, Nina took a deep breath. "I really almost fell for it. I felt so sorry for her, I even started to think I was being too harsh."
Her tone shifted quickly, which satisfied Sylvia. "I'm making things difficult for her for your sake. If you turn around and think I'm the one being unreasonable, you'd be letting me down."
"Sylvia, that's not what I meant!" Nina quickly explained. "I'm just not very decisive. On principle, I can't stand people who get in through connections, and I won't tolerate it. I was wrong this time…"
