Chapter 1799 I am Nina
Nina watched their enthusiastic expressions.
Nina helplessly took a sip of her coffee, "In my past life, Laura, your first love was a bad man, you married and divorced Michael, and as for Cassie, you were still with Joseph, but Megan came between you and you got divorced. The misery remains the same."
Laura looked a bit disappointed, "Really? So my past life and this life are the same?"
Cassie glanced at Nina, "Bernice, are you lying to us? There's no such thing as past lives."
"I'm not lying to you, you just misunderstood."
Nina gave a bitter smile, put down her coffee cup, and said seriously, "Actually, I am Nina. I am Nina."
The room fell silent for a moment.
Laura suddenly shivered, "I suddenly feel so cold, did someone turn on the air conditioning?"
She trembled and moved closer to Cassie.
Although Nina was Laura's friend, what she said still gave Laura the creeps.
Cassie was fine at first, but Laura's reaction made her a bit shaky, too. "Bernice, this joke is a bit much; we shouldn't joke about the deceased."
"I really am Nina."
Nina's eyes were innocent and helpless. They wanted to know the truth, but when she told them, they didn't believe her. "Back then, after I was imprisoned, Megan came to see me and told me my parents had died. I couldn't accept it. I was consumed by hatred and only wanted to escape and avenge my parents. Later, I managed to escape but fell into the sea. When I lost consciousness and woke up, I found my soul in Bernice's body."
Laura and Cassie exchanged glances. Laura blinked and suddenly said, "I get it, it's like soul possession in novels."
Cassie twitched her mouth, still finding it too unbelievable, "That seems impossible."
"It might be because of this jade pendant." Nina pulled out a jade pendant from her neck, "Bernice and I lived in the same place when we were young, and we were always close. Our mothers met a fortune teller who gave us identical jade pendants. I remember the fortune teller said we would face a disaster in the future, and the pendants might help us once."
Laura, no longer afraid, leaned in to examine the jade pendant, which looked very old. "Is there really such a magical thing?"
"That time, Bernice had just committed suicide over Gary. When I woke up, my body had become Bernice's." Nina said, "I didn't dare tell anyone the truth because Nina was a fugitive, and such a bizarre story might cause trouble with the authorities. So I pretended to be deeply affected by the suicide attempt and focused on my career. No one suspected me."
Laura asked, "Why didn't you tell us earlier?"
"I looked for you, but you had already gone abroad." Nina glanced at the two of them, "And before you left, you were both in a bad situation. Cassie was in a mental hospital, and Joseph was dating Megan. As for Laura, the rumors about you being bullied by Nathan were rampant, and people said you left the country because you couldn't stay here anymore."
Laura and Cassie both felt awkward.
During that time, they were struggling to survive.
Even if Nina had appeared, they couldn't have helped her.
Nina said, "So I could only endure and wait for my chance to avenge in my own way."
Cassie sighed, "Your way of avenging was to kidnap Megan and try to torture her to death."
Nina lowered her eyes, "Megan used hypnosis to kill people. It was hard to find evidence, and during that time, Michael and Joseph were protecting her. I had no other way. I didn't mind dying with her. If Laura hadn't stopped me that time, I might not be sitting here telling you the truth."
"No wonder." Laura suddenly realized, "When I found you that day, the hatred in your eyes towards Megan shocked me. You said you were Nina's childhood friend, but we were also Nina's friends. We couldn't have felt that strongly. It turns out it was you seeking revenge."
"Fortunately, you stopped me the right way." Nina said gratefully, "With your help, Megan's crimes were exposed, and my parents' deaths were revealed."
"Nina, don't say that."
Cassie said sadly, "Laura and I have always regretted not being able to help you when you were wrongfully imprisoned. If it weren't for your luck, you might not have survived."
"Helping someone requires strength. If I blamed you for this, I would be unreasonable."
Nina shook her head, her gaze sincere, "Besides, this was a grudge between Megan and me. She always caused trouble for me; even without you, she would have found other ways to target me. I just feel my mom's life was too unfair. When she met my dad, she didn't want anything from him. They met when my dad was already single, but Megan and her brother always believed my dad left their mom because he fell in love with mine."
Laura and Cassie sighed softly, acknowledging that being a stepmother is hard.
Especially being a stepmother to someone like Megan.
No matter how well Esmeralda did, Megan always wanted to get rid of her.
After a long silence, Cassie said sincerely, "Nina, no matter what, I'm very glad we can sit and have a meal together again. No wonder when I first met you, I felt you were very familiar, like we had known each other for a long time."
"Yes." Laura agreed, "I don't know why, but when I first saw you, I wanted to be friends with you. You kept this from us for so long. Why are you willing to tell us now?"
"I didn't tell you before because I thought Bernice might come back someday. Maybe after I succeeded in my revenge, I would have to leave. But I waited and waited, and she never came back."
Nina self-mockingly tugged at her lips, "I guess when Bernice committed suicide, she was truly heartbroken and didn't want to live anymore. She was tired of this world."
"She was too fragile." Cassie said, "She wasn't worth it for a man."
"She had never experienced love and grew up in a single-parent family. She longed for love and security, but Gary only wanted to possess her to satisfy his own desires."
