“How can I trust you?” Nancy asked seriously.
Irene smirked, “You don’t seem to have any other choice but to trust me. Otherwise, I’ll make the recordings public, and you’ll be done for. At most, I’ll be detained for a few days for the crime of eavesdropping.”
Nancy remained silent. The initiative was indeed on Irene’s side.
“We don’t need to take a walk. I just want to know what your request is. I have to catch a train at 7 pm today,” Nancy said.
“We still have a few hours. That’s enough,” Irene said, then walked towards the park exit on her own.
Nancy could only follow her.
Outside the park was a dilapidated street, with many potholes on the ground.
This was considered the “slums” of Emerald City, where the poorest people lived.
“It’s dirty and messy here,” Irene suddenly spoke up. “But I’ve been living here for over ten years. Do you know what kind of mentality I have to live here?”
“You can change your life by yourself. If you really want to improve your life, you can work hard and naturally move away from here,” Nancy said.
“It’s easy for you to say. If you had been the Reed family’s young lady, enjoying such glory and wealth, could you still say it’s all up to yourself?” Irene said fiercely. “If you really did it all by yourself, you wouldn’t have used Mick!”
Nancy smiled self-deprecatingly. On this point, she really had nothing to say to the other party.
Along the way, Irene kept telling Nancy about her time in the Reed family, where she was respected as a young lady and could go in and out with Mick every day.
Clothes, food, toys anything she wanted, she would have.
That is a life that many people envy.
When Nancy arrived at Irene’s rental room, she looked at her and said, “Okay, it’s time for you to state your conditions.”
“Let’s have a cup of tea first, sit down and talk slowly,” Irene said, brewing tea and placing it in front of
Nancy.
However, Nancy did not drink the tea, she was still waiting for Irene to continue.
Irene smiled, “Both you and I have been abandoned by the Reed family, so I want to join forces with you.
How about we team up to deal with the Reed family?”
Nancy frowned and directly refused, “I have no intention of going against the Reed family.”
“Are you afraid that the Reed family will retaliate? As long as we do it secretly, the Reed family won’t…”
Irene’s words were interrupted by Nancy, “The Reed family doesn’t owe me anything. I separated from
Mick, but it was my fault. I have no reason to blame them.”
“But you resigned because of Mick, right? And you plan to leave Emerald City. If it weren’t for Mick, would you need to leave the city where you were born?” Irene said, “Join forces with me, and our pain should be tasted by the Reed family!”
Nancy stood up abruptly and scolded, “Enough, I won’t team up with you! Besides, in my opinion, the
Reed family has never mistreated you! You keep saying that the Reed family pushed you into the abyss, but you should know that those riches and glory were never yours to begin with. The Reed family can give them to you, and they can also take them back! If you really want wealth and glory, then rely on yourself to obtain them!”
“Aren’t you afraid that I will upload those recordings of yours to the internet? Aren’t you afraid that
Clarissa will be released from prison and all your previous efforts will be in vain?” Irene threatened.
Nancy took a deep breath, “Even if my efforts are in vain, it doesn’t matter. In the future, I will find new evidence to put Clarissa back in prison. But if you really upload the recordings, do you think you can do it without leaving any traces? If the world knows that I used Mick, I will become a clown, but the Reed family will also lose face. Is it really something you can do to go against the Reed family?”
“You…” Irene looked at Nancy fiercely.
“I advise you to give up on the idea of retaliating against the Reed family…” Nancy hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly her body staggered, a feeling of weakness sweeping over her whole body.
She propped herself up on the edge of the table with one hand, barely managing to steady herself.
What’s going on? Why is her whole body feeling weak, and why can’t she control the urge to fall asleep?
She was so careful all the way here, and she didn’t even drink the tea that Irene made!
“Nancy, you’re careful, but I’m even more cautious.” Irene’s voice echoed in the room. “I didn’t add anything to the tea, but haven’t you noticed that all the windows in this house are closed, and even the curtains are drawn, making it completely airtight?”
Nancy was shocked, could it be…
“Haven’t you noticed the faint fragrance in the room? I lit some incense that can make people unconscious. Since you didn’t plan to join forces with me, I can only make you my tool of revenge!”
Irene said, her mouth emitting a series of triumphant laughter.
As if her plan had already succeeded.
Don’t fall asleep! Whatever happens, don’t fall asleep!
Nancy desperately shouted in her mind, trying to take out the self-defence weapon she had prepared from her bag. If she could knock down Irene, then she would be able to….
Her mind gradually became confused, and she could barely hear Irene’s voice.
What kind of tool will Irene turn her into?
Will she die?
Who can come to her rescue?
Nancy felt her vision darken and her body fell heavily to the ground!
“Nancy! Nancy!”
An urgent voice sounded in Nancy’s ear.
Who is it? The voice sounds somewhat familiar.
Who is calling her?
Nancy struggled to open her heavy eyelids and saw the dim sky, the bare mountain scenery, and…
Jasper’s anxious face.
“Jasper… How did you get here?” Nancy asked instinctively, then suddenly her expression changed.
Because at this moment, she realized that both she and Jasper were tied up with ropes.
Moreover, Jasper’s clothes were stained with dirt and he looked disheveled.
“It’s Irene. She snuck into the library I often go to and drugged me in the restroom,” Jasper said. After that, she doesn’t remember anything..
When she woke up, she found herself in front of a cliff by the sea, with Nancy lying next to her.
“Where’s Irene?” Nancy asked.
“She’s…up ahead, seems to be placing something,” Jasper said.
Nancy struggled to sit up, still bound, and saw a car parked not far ahead.
Irene was occasionally taking things out of the car and arranging them in a certain pattern.
lapter
What is Irene doing?!
Nancy wondered to herself, then whispered to Jasper.
Jasper shook his head. “I don’t know what she’s putting down, but I do recognize this cliff.”
“You recognize it?” Nancy was surprised.
“Yeah, this is where my mother fell into the sea. My father searched for her here for a long time until he…uh, lost his memory and forgot about her, so he stopped looking,” Jasper said.
His mother’s fall into the sea was a close call.
That’s why when she realized Irene had brought her and Nancy here, her sense of unease grew even stronger!
“Can you escape?” Nancy whispered.
Jasper shook his head.
“Can the Reed family find this place?” Nancy asked again.
“It may take some time,” Jasper replied.
Originally, she had a tracking device on her, both in her phone and in the necklace she wore daily, just in case.
But when she woke up, she found that all her jewelry and phone were gone.
It was probably taken by Irene!
Without the tracking device, judging by the time of day, it had been three hours since she was knocked out.
If Irene deliberately avoided the tracking device, it would probably take some time for the Reed family to find this place!
Nancy bit her lip.
The two of them were tied up tightly together and couldn’t untie the rope.
Moreover, the rope used to tie them up was obviously a special fire rescue rope, which would be difficult to bite through even if she tried.
Besides, biting through it would take a lot of time, and Irene wouldn’t give them that time to bite through the rope.

Wait to see what Irene was going to do, or wait for the Reed family to find them!
