Mick towards her….
Was it just her imagination? Or… “Is this also your sympathy? Or maybe… forgive me for being presumptuous, Mr. Reed, do you like me?”
Nancy spoke these words bluntly.
Mick’s dark eyes suddenly stared at her.
This gaze seemed to be filled with surprise and shock, as if scrutinizing something.
The air was filled with a suffocating silence.
Nancy felt as if her palms were sweating unconsciously.
“If I really liked you?” Mick’s voice suddenly sounded, “What would you do?”
Nancy stared at Mick blankly, seeming to be a little slow to react for a moment.
“Hmm?” He raised his voice, and she finally came back to her senses.
“I…” What should she say? If he really liked her, could she use him to get justice from the Schultz family?
This thought emerged in her mind and grew wildly.
“Don’t worry, I’m not interested in you.” Mick’s voice sounded in Nancy’s ear again, “I said it was my rare kindness, but my kindness ends here. After you leave here in the morning, we will have nothing to do with each other.”
The indifferent voice sounded unapproachable.
It wasn’t until Nancy left Mick’s room and returned to her own guest room that she finally laughed bitterly.
What was she thinking? Fantasizing that Mick would be interested in her and she could use him to get justice from the Schultz family.
But what kind of person was Mick? How could he possibly be interested in her?
And even more so, how could he go against the Schultz family for her?
It was impossible!
Mick’s words only made her understand what reality was.
That night, Nancy never really fell asleep. The next morning, she packed her things, said goodbye to the servants, and left Mick’s villa alone.
That night was so unreal for her.
And she was just an ordinary person after all. Even if she had suffered so much, even if she had become an orphan now, she still had to work hard to earn a living, to survive.
Life seemed to have become calm again, only when it was quiet at night and she looked at her mother’s photo, did she feel that her mother had really left her.
A month passed quickly, and it was soon her mother’s 57th birthday.
During this time, Mick never appeared in front of her again.
As he said, he was only kind to her for a moment. Her fantasies. were just her own wishful thinking.
“Nancy, it’s time to get off work,” a colleague greeted her.
“Hmm.” She responded.
“Are we going to have dinner together tonight?”
“No, you guys go ahead. I have something to do tonight.” She politely declined.
Tonight is her mother’s 57th birthday. It is said that the deceased will return home on this day to see their loved ones.
If there really are souls after death, she doesn’t know which home her mother will return to.
But for her, all she can do is cook a meal in her rented room and pay her respects to her mother.
Just as Nancy walked out of the hotel, she was suddenly slapped in the face.
This slap made her stagger back two steps before she barely regained her balance.
Her check was burning with pain. Nancy looked up at Clarissa, who was standing in front of her. This woman was still the same, always slapping her when they met.
If before, she had been accommodating to Clarissa in order to make her mother’s life easier, now she had no such concerns.
Moreover, Clarissa was the one who killed her mother!
“You bitch, are you spreading rumors everywhere…”
Clarissa’s words were cut off by a crisp slap.
This time, it was Nancy who slapped Clarissa directly.
Clarissa was shocked, holding her slapped cheek. “You…how dare you hit me?!” Her expression was as if she never expected Nancy to fight back.
Nancy spoke coldly, “Why wouldn’t I hit you? Since you slapped me first, it’s only fair that I hit you back.”
“Nancy, who do you think you are? I hit you because I wanted to. You’re just a lowly servant who wouldn’t be eating anything but rotten food in the slums if it weren’t for the Schultz family!”
Clarissa cursed loudly.
“Yes, the Schultz family raised me, so I endured all the mistreatment from you. I served you like a servant, enduring your insults and criticisms. But Clarissa, my mother married into the Schultz family with dignity. My mother raised me in the Schultz family, so I don’t owe you anything!” Nancy’s eyes were incredibly cold as she looked at Clarissa. “It’s you who killed my mother. Why are you here causing trouble again today?”
Her words seemed to remind Clarissa, who immediately glared at Nancy with hatred. “Your mother fell on her own. What does that have to do with me? You slut, if it weren’t for you spreading rumors outside, Mick wouldn’t have mentioned your mother’s death in front of my dad and warned me about it.
What did you say?”
Nancy was taken aback. Mick had mentioned that he would help her talk to the Schultz family, but she thought he was just saying it casually. She didn’t expect him to actually do it.
“So, you came to pick a fight with me?” Nancy asked. “If I told Mick that you were the one who killed my mother, and I wanted him to help me make you pay, make you go to jail, and make you pay for my mother’s life, would you believe me?”
Seeing Clarissa’s face turn pale after hearing her words, Nancy felt a sense of pleasure that she had never felt before.
She could feel Clarissa’s fear, but it wasn’t fear of her, it was fear of Mick that she was using to intimidate Clarissa.
In the end, how pathetic was it?
She had always resented the unfairness of the world, resented those wealthy people who were high and mighty.
But in the end, she was using Mick, who was richer and more powerful than the Schultz family, to scare
Clarissa.
“Did you really tell Mick?” Clarissa’s face turned white.
“Guess.” Nancy gave an ambiguous answer.
“You slut, do you think Mick will help you? Who do you think you are? You want Mick to help you deal with the Schultz family!” Clarissa raised her hand again, wanting to hit Nancy’s face.
Nancy grabbed the other person’s wrist and said, “What, do you want me to hit you again? Aren’t you afraid of what Mick will do to the Schultz family if you lay a hand on me again? If the Schultz family is gone, what are you, the Schultz family’s little miss, worth?”
At this moment, she became a person who bullies others by flaunting her power.
As she watched Clarissa’s increasingly ugly face, Nancy felt not only the pleasure of revenge, but also a sense of sadness.
She wanted to get back at Clarissa, even if it was just with words, but even so, she had to use Mick’s name.
As for herself, she had no capital to get back at Clarissa.
If the Schultz family really wanted to crush her, she wouldn’t even have the ability to resist.
“You–” Clarissa glared at Nancy, suddenly her eyes seemed to see something, her body began to tremble, struggling desperately to break free from Nancy’s grip, “You… let go, it’s not my business!”
Nancy felt that Clarissa’s current appearance was a bit strange. Did she see something? Behind her?
Thinking this, Nancy was about to turn her head to look behind her, when suddenly, a cold voice sounded in her car, “What, got hit again?”
Nancy was startled and turned to look at Mick, who had walked up to her.
How did he get here?
When did he arrive? How much of her conversation with Clarissa did he hear?
But even if he only heard the last bit, he would know that she was using his name to bully Clarissa.
Thinking of this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Nancy’s face.
Mick had already raised his hand and touched the side of her face where Clarissa had hit her just now.
Because Clarissa’s strength is not small, one side of her face is already swollen and red.
“Does it hurt?” he asked.
In fact, this kind of pain is nothing new to her. Back in the Schultz family, Clarissa often liked to slap people, and she naturally often got slapped by Clarissa.
If it were a normal day, she would say “it doesn’t hurt much.”
But today… She glanced at Clarissa, who had turned pale, and suddenly changed her mind. She said to Mick, “It hurts a lot. I didn’t expect her to suddenly rush over and slap me.”
“Really? It seems like every time I see you, you’re getting slapped by her,” Mick said with a hint of teasing.
Nancy was a bit speechless herself. Come to think of it, it was true. Of the four times she had seen him, three times she had been slapped by Clarissa.
“So, if she ever lays a hand on you again, how do you think I should deal with her and the Schultz family? Without the Schultz family, this Schultz family’s little missy wouldn’t be anything, would she?”
Mick said idly.
Nancy’s heart skipped a beat. He must have heard her conversation with Clarissa.
So, was he now mocking her for her false bravado?
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Nancy’s face.
Meanwhile, Clarissa was so scared that she hurriedly said, “Mr. Reed, you… you must have been deceived by her. She’s a liar who tells nothing but lies. Our family raised her and treated her with the utmost kindness, but she still blames her mother’s death on the Schultz family. She just wants to extort more money from the Schultz family. Please don’t believe her!”
Clarissa desperately defended herself, but Mick seemed to pay no attention to what she said. He just looked at Nancy and said, “What do you say? Do you want to hit her back?”
As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the two bodyguards behind him immediately pinned Clarissa down.
“What are you doing?” Clarissa struggled, but it was of no use.
