"Okay." Aside from the fact that Jill was already getting older, Clark made her take more sleeping pills than Fannie. Therefore, even though Jill woke up about the same time as Fannie, she felt as if her bones and muscles had been removed. She had slept well, but she had no strength at all.
Jill removed the pillow, but she found nothing under it except for a few strands of hair.
In a daze, Jill turned to Fannie. "No. did we make a mistake, Fannie?"
"That's impossible, mom. I am certain that I put the household register under the pillow last night. As for where it went now, I don't know what happened." It could be seen on Fannie's face that she was already frustrated.
All of a sudden, Jill came up with a conclusion. "Do you think your father..."
"No way! Last night, my father made it clear that he wanted to be with us and even asked for Charles' money. Why would he take the household register?" Fannie asked in surprise.
"Damn it! Something bad happened, Fannie." After taking a deep breath, Jill added, "Why do I feel like something is wrong? Last night, that damn Clark... No, no. It seems like he deceived us. Don't just sit here. Go and find him!"
Finally, Jill realized what had happened so she pushed Fannie. "Last night, we were drugged by that bastard Clark. He loves Nancy so much. How could he be on our side? He just pretended to be good to us last night, for us to let our guard down. Then he stole the household register. We are both so stupid to fall into his trap. Now, the household register is missing, isn't it?"
Before Jill could even finish her words, Fannie already jumped off the bed.
If her father really fooled them and stole the household register, then she had to get it back. As the two women panicked, Clark was sleeping soundly in his bedroom.
Since he burned the household register last night, he felt extremely relaxed.
However, he was woken up by Fannie's deafening voice.
"Dad! Dad, where is our household register?"
At this moment, Clark knew that his moment of solitude was over, and the two women would trouble him now. So, he tightly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
The door was pushed open and Fannie came in like a gust of wind. She was catching her breath like she ran a hundred miles.
"Dad, dad, wake up. Have you seen the household register?"
Even so, Charles kept silent and didn't open his eyes. Fannie stood beside his bed, waiting for him to wake up.
On the contrary, Jill couldn’t just stand still and wait until Clark decided to stop pretending. Therefore, as soon as she walked in, she forcefully grabbed Clark's ear. "Damn you, Clark! Let me tell you. You'd better pretend to be dead now. Take out your household register, or I will push you down the stairs. I promise no one will know how you died."
It was as if Jill's anger brought back the strength she lost after being drugged last night.
When Clark couldn't stand the pain anymore, he was forced to open his eyes. The first thing he saw was Jill 's greedy face, so he clenched his jaw in hatred. "Jill, didn't you two put away the household register? Why are you asking me for it now?"
"Dad, I can't find it! There are only three of us in this house. If Mom and I haven't seen it, of course you have taken it away. I beg you, please take out the household register as soon as possible. Ten million is not a small amount of money. I was thinking about buying an electric wheelchair for you, but I didn't have the money. I promise, once Charles gives me the money, I will immediately buy an electric wheelchair for you. Then, you don’t need to turn the wheelchair with your hands. That kind of wheelchair is more convenient than your current wheelchair." Thinking that she could persuade him, Fannie didn't act violently like her mother did.
