What Clark had said was a great news for Nancy. As a matter of fact, she felt happy and excited but she didn't show it.
While Nancy's eyes were sparkling in joy, Charles and the two women's eyes were filled with confusion.
"Yes, it's burned. If you still don't believe me, go to the kitchen and check the stove. There must be some ashes left on it that I haven't cleaned," said Clark.
"Really? Dad, how could you do such a stupid thing?" To check if Clark was telling the truth, Fannie rushed out of the room angrily. On her way to the kitchen, she was cursing her own father for ruining their chance to get ten million dollars.
"Clark, Clark..." There were no words to describe how angry Jill was. She kept grinding her teeth, as if she wanted to break Clark's name.
"Oh, yes, yes, yes. I burned it! You don't need to think about Charles' ten million dollars anymore." A smile of satisfaction appeared on Clark's face.
"Am I that kind of woman? Why do you keep talking about ten million dollars? I'm just thinking about Nancy 's wellbeing. What a loving and righteous man Charles is! If not him, then who else does she want to marry? In this city, there is no man better than Charles. He is rich, decent and good-looking. Alas, Clark, I really don't know what you are thinking. Nancy is your biological daughter. Why does it seem like you don't worry about her at all? She's already the mother of Charles' two children. Does she want to find a better man than Charles? This is unrealistic, very unrealistic. You will definitely regret what you have done today!" The way Jill said these words sounded so sincere, and she was also great at faking her facial expression.
Fortunately, Nancy was smart enough to know that she was not telling the truth.
"My marriage is up to me. You don't have to worry about it. Dad, have a good rest. I still have an operation today. I'll come to see you later when I have time.'¹ As a doctor, Nancy was worried about her patients all the time. It was a good thing that Clark was fine, so Nancy could go back to the hospital at ease.
With a smile on his face, Clark nodded at her and lay down on his bed. "You can go now."
There was no doubt that he was very satisfied with the current situation. He didn't regret burning the household register because he saw the happiness in Nancy's eyes.
"Then I'll go now. Bye, dad." Without casting a glance at Charles, Nancy turned around and walked out of the room.
"Nancy..." If there was one person who was greatly disappointed to know that Clark burned the household register, it was Charles.
How could he not be disappointed when his marriage with Nancy was postponed again?
Although Clark deliberately burned it to prevent him from marrying Nancy, Charles still cared about him so he glared at Jill. "Take good care of uncle; otherwise you won't get any money."
With a smile, Jill answered, "Charles, what are you talking about? Clark is my husband. Even if you don't give me a penny, I will take good care of him."
Her voice was so sweet that it made people feel uncomfortable.
After saying goodbye to Clark, Charles caught up with Nancy.
As soon as Charles disappeared from her sight, the smile on Jill's face faded. "Clark, you really impress me! II
"Oh, my God! The household register of our family is really burnt. Nancy, look!" When Fannie saw the ashes on the stove, she was devastated. She ran back to Clark's room with the ashes in her hands, and happened to bump into Nancy along the way.
Nancy glanced at Fannie's hand indifferently. "It doesn't matter. It's just the household register."
"How could you say that? It is necessary for many things in life. How can a family not have a household register?" In reality, Fannie was angry because of the money they were supposed to get from Charles.
"If you have any problem, just call Mr. Fu. I think he will try his best to solve it for you." As Nancy spoke, she looked back at Charles and smiled slyly. "Right, Mr. Fu?"
Tm not interested!" His eyes were filled with hatred.
"You... How can you take pleasure in my misfortune?"
Shrugging her shoulders, Nancy replied, "No, I didn't."
There was never a time that Nancy took pleasure in someone else's misfortune, but she was really right now.
