Being exposed and seeing Nina's insightfulness, Michelle was not only losing face but also feeling furious inside. "Stop with the nonsense. You must cwith me!" However, Nina replied calmly, "I have other matters to attend to. Goodbye!" She walked past Michelle, refusing to be manipulated by her.

This scene left everyone in the office speechless.
Nina was the first person to show such disdain towards Michelle.
Leaving the TV station, Nina hailed a taxi and headed to the address of the orphanage.
The urgency of the orphanage's situation had its reasons. Located in a remote area far from the city center, the roads were difficult to traverse and hardly noticed.
Upon arrival, Nina got out of the taxi. The orphanage's gate was rusty, surrounded by a large patch of bamboo. The buildings inside looked old and dilapidated, nothing like the bustling Jasper city. "Are you Miss Nina Walker?" the director asked, seeing Nina standing outside.
The director, a woman in her forties with significantly graying hair, looked somewhat old-fashioned. She wore plain clothes and patched shoes, indicative of a modest lifestyle.
Nina nodded. "Yes, I'm here to conduct an interview for you." "Please, cin quickly!" The director opened the rusty gate.
Inside, the place was even more run-down. Chalk drawings by the children covered the dirty and cluttered walls. Stiles had fallen off the walls.
As she stood at the entrance, the children inside looked at her with a mix of curiosity and fear.

There were about twenty or so boys and girls sitting neatly on stools. The girls had their hair braided neatly, looking clean but wearing tattered clothes.
The weather was getting colder, and their little faces turned red from the chill. They looked up at Nina with admiration and said in unison with their adorable voices, "Hello, Nina!" Nina's heart melted as soon as she saw the children. They were all so adorable. But they had grown up without parents, and perhaps, being pregnant herself, she felt an@xtra sense of empathy for these children.
"Nina? You should callMiss Walker," Nina corrected them.
"But Nina, you look like a sister to us, and you're so pretty!" exclaimed a little girl sitting in the front. "Nina is so pretty!" echoed the others.
Nina smiled faintly and took out scandies from her bag to share with them. "You all have such sweet mouths and are so well-behaved. Here's a reward for you!" "Wow, candy!" The children's eyes lit up at the sight of the candies, and they clapped their hands in excitement. Having candies to eat was the highlight of their day.
After distributing the candies, the director commented, "Miss Walker, you're too kind to spend money like this."
