"You are a woman, Fannie. How do you know what's in Charles' mind. Can you see through him? You don't understand! Shit, you don't understand!" Caspar threw back the covers and got off the bed worriedly.
"Where are you going?" Fannie was truly confused. She had done a good thing and wanted to please him. She thought she would get appreciated for her efforts, but this man wasn't happy at all. Instead, he even blamed her.
Did she do something wrong?
Didn't he want Jade's shares? Now he got it, but why was he still unhappy?
The man was such a jerk!
Caspar turned his head and said coldly, "Fannie, let me tell you something. Charles is still unmarried. That means, as long as he is not getting hitched with another woman, Nancy still has her chance. In another word, as long as Charles is unmarried, we can't afford to offend Jade and Nancy!"
"Well, are you still in love with that Nancy? Caspar, let me tell you. You're a bastard! You think that what you couldn't lay your hands on, what was unachievable to you to be the best. That mentality is pure filth. Is Nancy as pretty as I am?" Fanny said provocatively.
Caspar sneered, "Well, in my eyes, she's nothing better than you. But I have to admit that she's smarter than you!" "Caspar, are you praising me or cursing me?" Fannie yelled at him.
"Think about it yourself!" With that, he opened the door and walked out.
"If you want to leave, leave, but never come back!" Fannie threw a pillow at him, but it was too late to stop him.
Nancy just woke up the next morning.
She opened her eyes slowly and felt an unusual warmth in her palm.
She turned her head and saw that it was Charles who took her hand.
Yes, he had been here last night.
But, did Dorothy knew about this?
Would he try to hide it from her? If Dorothy didn't allow him, would he have come here?
These questions brought a total mess to her mind. She sighed and tried to pull her hand back.
She moved, but her hand was still grasped.
"You're awake?" said Charles, looking at her gently.
His voice was gentler than his eyes. Nancy's heart suddenly sank.
"Yes. You have worked hard. Just have a good rest," Nancy said and smiled apologetically.
"I'm not tired. Aunt hasn't woken up yet. The doctor said that she has a cerebral hemorrhage. It isn't that serious, but has caused some damage," Charles said, thinking for a while.
Nancy sighed, "What I don't understand is, when I left yesterday, she was fine. But after a while, she..."
Nancy's face darkened and she bit her lips.
"Jill and Fannie had been here with your father. They took away your mother's shares. I guess your mother couldn't stand it, so..." Charles wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought.
Nancy rubbed her forehead painfully. "Why did they do this?"
"People in this world are different. You can't understand their sins with your kindness. What are you going to do with them?" asked Charles, lifting his hand and putting a few strands of hair behind her ear.
Nancy sighed and closed her eyes sorrowfully. "Can I get my mother's shares back?"
"As long as you want, anything is possible," Charles said firmly.
"Will they let go?" Nancy asked weakly.
"It's not up to them!" Charles said determinedly.
Nancy nodded. She didn't want to be cruel to anyone. Nor did she want to make things difficult for anyone. She just wanted to get her mother's shares back because they were her mother's lifeblood.
"You didn't ask anything about Nadia?" Charles asked curiously.
"Didn't you say you have asked Jay to take her away? And you also said you wanted me to be rest assured." She acted like a spoiled child.
"What? What else did you overhear?" Eavesdropped by Nancy, he felt a little embarrassed.
Nancy flashed a cunning smile. "Why are you afraid of me hearing you? Did you speak ill of me?"
