And she, as if hearing him, gradually loosened her grip. Her slightly furrowed brow also relaxed.
In her sleep, Nancy felt an unprecedented sense of peace enveloping her, making her want to sleep forever.
There was a gentle voice whispering in her ear, assuring her that no matter what mistakes she made, he would forgive her!
So, she didn’t need to worry about anything!
By the time Nancy woke up, it was almost evening.
After dining at Mick’s villa, she insisted on returning to her rental room.
“It’s fine if you live here. And if you have any concerns, I can also publicly announce that you are my girlfriend,” Mick said.
Nancy suddenly widened her eyes, “Girl…girlfriend?”
“Aren’t we in a relationship now?” Mick asked with a smile. “Since we are in a relationship, you are naturally my girlfriend.”
“I…can we not make it public yet?” she hesitated.
He furrowed his brows at her words, “You don’t want to make it public? What are your concerns?” If it were any other woman, they would probably want to make it public.
“I want to…wait a bit longer before making it public. And if…by then, you still want me to be your girlfriend…” she said anxiously.
When she confesses everything to him, if he still wants to forgive her at that time.
“What, do you think I will change my mind?” Jasper chuckled lightly. “Nancy, I am not someone who easily falls for someone, so I won’t easily change my mind either.”
As he spoke, he took her hand and lowered his head to kiss her palm.
“As long as you don’t change your mind, I won’t either.” His cold voice was so powerful.
This was his promise to her!
Back in her rental room, Nancy looked at her mother’s portrait hanging on the wall, feeling heavy-
hearted.
After Mick dropped her off and left, she was alone in her rental room again.
“Mom, Clarissa is in jail now, so you can rest assured. I finally fulfilled my promise to you and made
Clarissa pay for what she did. But…Mom…was what I did wrong?”
A low murmuring voice echoed in the quiet rental room as Nancy chuckled bitterly, “From the beginning, I was using Mick because I couldn’t make Clarissa pay on my own! But Mick really helped me, and yet… Mom, deceiving someone really isn’t a good feeling. I deceived Mick by telling him I liked him. If I tell him everything, will he still forgive me? Or… will he destroy me?”
Only the photos on the wall continued to smile gently at the beloved daughter, but they couldn’t provide any answers.
The secretary walked into the CEO’s office and said to Mick, “Mr. Reed, there’s a Miss Irene who wants to see you. She says she’s… your sister.”
The secretary hesitated when she said the last four words. However, Miss Lynch had spoken with such conviction and even showed a photo of Mr. Reed and her as children, so she came in to report it.
Mick frowned when he heard the name Irene.
This distant name in his memory was almost forgotten.
It was his words that allowed the Gregory family mother and daughter to enter the Reed family, and
Irene became his adopted sister.
But later, Irene’s mother framed his mother, causing the Gregory family mother and daughter to be kicked out of the Reed family.
”
Now, why did Irene suddenly appear? What was her purpose?
“Don’t let her in,” Mick said. He wasn’t interested in whatever
Irene’s purpose was.
“But Miss Lynch said she wants to talk to Mr. Reed about
Nancy and Miss Fowler,” the secretary said.
Mick’s eyes suddenly darkened.
Irene wants to talk to him about Nancy?
“Let her in,” Mick said.
“Yes.” The secretary stepped back.
After a moment, Irene walked into the CEO’s office.
Irene’s heart was in turmoil as she looked at Mick sitting behind the desk.
Once her prince charming, he had grown into a man.
His words had changed her fate, turning her into a princess admired by all. But when the real princess returned, she was cast aside.
When the Reed family kicked her out, she faced countless sneers and ridicule, mocking her delusions.
She had resented him countless times over the years, wondering why he didn’t speak up for her when she was being kicked out. After all, he had wanted her to be his sister!
Despite her resentment, she couldn’t help but feel a deep infatuation for him.
At least she was special to him, the only woman besides his family who had ever been close to him.
But now, he was dating a woman like Nancy, even going so far as to take down the Schultz family for her.
What was so charming about Nancy that he would do all this for her?
“Brother, it’s been a long time,” Irene said.
“I’m not your brother, you don’t have to call me that,” Mick said coldly and distantly. “How did you find out about Nancy?” After all, he and Nancy were dating and the outside world didn’t know.
Irene didn’t mind the coldness, or rather, she had expected it.
“Nancy is my colleague, and I also work at the hotel,” Irene said. “I saw Nancy get into your car.”
“What do you want to tell me about her?” Mick asked, wanting to know what this woman was up to.
“Why are you with a woman like Nancy?” Irene asked in response. “She’s not worthy of you, and she’s even scheming. She’s with you for a reason!”
Mick sneered, “You’re not qualified to say that. If you came here just to say these things, then…get out. Don’t appear in front of me again, or I’ll make sure you can never set foot in Emerald City!”
Suddenly, Irene took out her phone and pressed play.
Nancy’s voice came out of the phone-
“Mom, Clarissa is in jail now, so you can rest assured. I finally did what I promised you, and made Clarissa pay the price she deserves.”
“From the beginning, I was using Mick, because I couldn’t make Clarissa pay the price on my own!”
Mick’s body suddenly stiffened, his eyes fixed on Irene’s phone. He was very familiar with Nancy’s voice and could immediately recognize it.
But the words on the phone made him feel uneasy.
“What’s going on with this voice?” Mick asked Irene.
“I secretly recorded it! This is indeed what Nancy said, without any falsehood. If you need it, I can give you the original recording, and you can have it verified by a professional organization,” Irene said confidently.
Her method was to install a small device with recording and video functions in the teddy bear she gave Nancy as an apology gift.
Originally, she wanted to catch Nancy doing something embarrassing, but she didn’t capture anything inappropriate.
Instead, she recorded these words.
But these are enough!
How could the pride of the Reed family tolerate being deceived by others!
“Nancy is just a fraud. She has been deceiving you from beginning to end. She is only with you to use you against the Schultz family!” Irene’s expression began to distort, “Mick, you are too confident in your intelligence, but you didn’t expect to be deceived by a woman, especially an ordinary woman like her… Ah!”
Irene’s voice suddenly stopped because the other party’s hand had already pinched her neck.
“Shut up!” Mick’s cold voice sounded, and his black eyes were filled with a cold and dead silence, “If you say another word, you’re dead!”
At this moment, every hair on Irene’s body stood up.
It was a kind of chilling fear!
Nancy came alone to her mother’s grave, lit incense, offered fruits and the food she made herself.
Perhaps until now, she had truly accepted the fact that her mother had left her.
However, unlike the despair she felt when she first came here, she now felt a kind of uneasiness.
“Mom, when I go back later, I will go to Mick and tell him everything. Whether he is willing to forgive me or not, I will accept the result willingly.” Nancy murmured, “Mom, I… I like him. Although I didn’t like him at first, I think I like him now. He is probably the best person to me in this world.”
She paused and looked at her mother’s tombstone, “Mom, if you have a spirit in heaven, please bless me… I hope he can. forgive my past deception, and I hope we can have a good result.”
The gentle breeze brushed her hair.
After a while, until the incense was extinguished, Nancy left.
But when she reached the entrance of the cemetery, she froze.
A figure stood at the entrance, looking particularly clear.
Today was not a traditional day for visiting graves, so the cemetery was deserted.
Therefore, Mick standing there was even more conspicuous.
In an instant, Nancy felt her heart pounding, a sense of inexplicable unease enveloping her.
As she approached him, the feeling of unease grew stronger.
Was it because he was looking at her expressionlessly? Nancy wondered to herself.
“Why are you here?” she asked.
