“Since I’ve sought justice for others, it’s only natural that justice is sought for me,” Nancy said.
“You’re right. In that case…” Jason directly threw a dagger on the coffee table, “Since you used Mick, you’ll cut off a finger.
After that, this matter will be settled, and you and Mick will have nothing to do with the Reed family.”
Nancy looked at the dagger on the coffee table and couldn’t help but bite her lip.
Just cutting off a finger, this punishment was much lighter than she had imagined.
She should be grateful that the other party only wanted one of her fingers.
Even if she really lost one finger, it wouldn’t cause any inconvenience to her future life.
“What’s wrong? Can’t bear to lose a finger?” Perhaps she had been silent for too long, Jason spoke up.
“No, I just wanted to say… thank you,” Nancy said softly.
One finger to redeem her sin, to exchange for the Reed family’s forgiveness, she had actually gained something from
1. it.
“Haha… you really are an interesting kid. It’s rare to hear someone say thank you to the person who wants to take their finger,” Jason laughed again.
Nancy took a deep breath and grabbed some tissues from the box next to her, in case blood splattered when she cut off her finger. She then picked up the knife.
She bent four of the fingers on her left hand and pressed them onto the tissues, leaving her little finger extended. As she was about to swing the knife towards her little finger, the office door suddenly burst open, causing her to freeze.
“What are you doing?!”
A familiar voice echoed through the office. Nancy looked up to see Mick walking towards her, his gaze fixed on the knife in her hand.
In the next moment, she felt a sharp pain in her wrist and the knife was no longer in her hand, but in
Mick’s.
“Why did you have a knife? What’s going on?” Mick stared at
Nancy.
If someone hadn’t told him that his father was meeting Nancy in the office, he would have been too late…
Thinking about the moment when she raised the knife, his heart suddenly felt like it was going to stop.
“Nothing, just wanted her to cut off a finger!” Jason said nonchalantly.
“Cut off a finger?” Mick narrowed his eyes.
“Cut off a finger. After that, she and you will be even, and the Reed family won’t bother her anymore.”
Jason said, “Miss Fowler also agreed to this plan, so we were about to do it.”
Mick’s face darkened as he glared at Nancy. “Are you really planning to cut off your finger?”
“It’s just one finger. I did something I shouldn’t have done to you, so this punishment is deserved.” She said.
“Since you owe me, the punishment you receive should be decided by me, not my father!” Mick said coldly.
Nancy’s eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked up at him. “Then what kind of punishment do you want me to receive? You tell me, and I’ll do it!”
She wanted to ask for his forgiveness, or perhaps it would be better to say that she was willing to accept punishment, so as not to be overwhelmed by the endless guilt.
These days, every night when it was quiet, she would think of him.
Even in her dreams, she would dream of every little detail of their time together, and when she woke up, her face was always covered in tears.
Mick looked at the woman in front of him, with a resigned look. on her face, just like that night in the private room when she was forced to endure the client’s teasing.
This resigned look made him angry!
He should be relieved, shouldn’t he? Whether it was someone trying to please him by forcing her to drink, making her miserable, or her father wanting to cut off her finger, she was the one suffering, so he should be happy.
But now, he felt inexplicably annoyed.
He couldn’t even explain why he was annoyed.
Even if he deliberately avoided seeing this woman, he was still affected by her presence.
No!
He didn’t want to be influenced by this woman anymore!
Mick said to himself in his heart.
“Don’t go after her again.” Mick threw the dagger in his hand aside and said to his father.
Jason raised an eyebrow, “What, are you trying to protect her? Don’t forget, she used you, deceived and betrayed you. Isn’t she the one you hate the most? She got both things, I’m already being kind by only asking for one finger.”
“That’s between her and me. Even if she has to pay the price for it, it should be my decision what kind of price she should pay!” After saying this, Mick directly took Nancy’s hand and left.
Jason watched his son and Nancy leave, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
His child…really takes after him!
He thought this child lacked emotions, but once real emotions came, he would be more devoted than anyone else.
However, being devoted is not always a good thing.
If he encounters someone who doesn’t know how to cherish it, he will only end up hurting himself in the end!
However, Nancy surprised him a bit. If Mick hadn’t appeared just now, that knife would have really cut her little finger.
“Chairman.” The secretary walked into Jason’s office and said, “Do you want to follow the young master?”
“No need.” Jason said calmly, “Also, you timed this matter well today.”
“I’m just following the chairman’s orders.” The secretary said respectfully.
The young master’s sudden appearance in the chairman’s office was not accidental.
She met the young master at a certain time according to the chairman’s orders, and then casually informed him that the chairman was meeting Nancy in his office.
As for whether the young master would come or not, it was up to him to decide.
“Do you think Mick really loves this woman?” Jason suddenly spoke up.
“This…” The secretary hesitated for a moment, “The young master still cares about Miss Fowler. When
I mentioned Miss Fowler in your office, he immediately changed his expression.
and rushed over.”
“It seems like he really cares,” Jason murmured, “but if this kid forgives this woman so easily, then he’ll probably be eaten alive by her for the rest of his life.”
Meanwhile, Mick pulled Nancy directly to the underground garage.
The two got into the car, and Mick drove away from Reed Group without saying a word.
The car was silent, with a suppressed atmosphere permeating
1. it.
Nancy pursed her lips and couldn’t help but ask, “Where are we going…”
“Shut up!” He interrupted her directly, his expression like he was holding back something, already at the limit of his patience.
She anxiously bit her lip and didn’t speak again.
Is he angry?
Well, he has the right to be angry.
She was too presumptuous, thinking that by breaking a finger, she could really repay what she owed Mick.
But how to repay it, it should be up to Mick to decide!
The decision is in his hands.
The car stopped in front of a villa, and Mick got out of the car and walked straight into the villa.
Nancy hesitated for a moment, then followed behind Mick.
As soon as they entered the villa, the lights automatically turned on through motion sensors.
Suddenly, a bright white light flooded the room.
Mick turned around and looked at Nancy, who was bowing her head.
She seemed even thinner than before.
Her slender body and prominent collarbone made her look like she could collapse with a single gust of wind.
But today, when he barged into his father’s office, she was holding a dagger with her thin fingers and was about to cut off one of her own fingers.
That scene was like a brand burned into his mind, unforgettable.
“If I hadn’t barged into my father’s office, were you really going to cut off one of your fingers?” Mick asked.
“Yes,” Nancy replied.
“Do you think cutting off one finger can make up for what you owe me?” His voice became colder.
“I just thought…” She didn’t finish her sentence before he interrupted her. “Nancy, let me tell you, the debt between us is not so easily forgotten. What you owe me cannot be repaid with just one finger!”
For the first time in his life, he loved someone so deeply.
But it was also the first time he had been used and betrayed like this.
It was as if he was telling himself how absurd his feelings were.
“If one finger is not enough, you can tell me what else I can do to make you feel better,” Nancy said. “I just want to try my best to ease your anger before I leave Emerald City.”
