Love Conquers All Chapter 223 Whoever Confesses to Me First
Nancy kept wondering who the culprit could be while walking out of the security room. 'She must be someone from the company. But what makes her hate me so much? It's one thing to put glass shards in my shoes, but another to try to take my life with the vase!'While deep in thought, Nancy was about to get into the elevator when someone called out to her, "Excuse me, Miss. But you can't take that elevator.""What?""That elevator is out of order. You have to use the other one," reminded the cleaning lady. With a broom in one hand, she then picked up a safety sign with her other to put in front of the out-of-order elevator. "We've already contacted the mechanic to come fix it.""Alright. Thanks for letting me know," said Nancy. After that, she got into the other elevator, and who happened to be there but Taya!"What are you doing here?" Nancy asked Taya. She thought it was weird to bump into her there because Taya and Yaacob did not work in that building."Mr. Getson has a meeting h
Love Conquers All Chapter 224 Getting Praised by Yaacob
The government had dispatched three of their personnel to meet with Yaacob, which was more than his other competitors. In fact, the other competitors had to submit their proposals to compete for the bid.The reason Getson Corporation received preferential treatment was because the government was interested in reaching a deal with Asia's largest enterprise. The government wanted to set aside a piece of land to build a new commercial and cultural center, and they had set their sights on working with Getson Corporation for the project.Thus, they were understandably upset that Yaacob kept them waiting for thirty minutes in the conference room. When the three government personnel walked out of the elevator, they could not help but complain."Well, that certainly was a waste of our time!" said one of them."I heard Yaacob just came back from studying abroad. He has great foresight and skills in doing business, but it seems he's just full of hot air! He doesn't even have basic manners!"
Love Conquers All Chapter 225 Get Out!
While accompanying Lola for an examination, Nancy reflected on how she had learned to lie in order to survive. She clearly hated such hypocrites in the past!However, after thinking about it, she comforted herself by saying that someone had caused Yaacob a setback in the first place, and what they did later was just to correct it. Moreover, she was sure Yaacob would do his absolute best should he win the right to the project, so it was a win-win situation for everyone.'So it's not wrong to sometimes manipulate others in order to protect myself, right? Of course, I'll never do it if it causes someone else harm or if it's illegal…' thought Nancy.Nancy already had someone in mind who was the culprit that caused Yaacob to be trapped in the elevator. After all, she only needed to consider who would benefit the most from Yaacob missing the meeting.The workday was almost over by the time Nancy got back to the company. She knew there would be consequences for skipping work, but she did
Love Conquers All Chapter 226 Stop Pestering Him
That night, Nancy was so bored in the hospital that she decided to play on her phone. First, she logged into her Twitter, but she logged out again two minutes later.She felt that the posts on Twitter were becoming more and more hostile. She would often come across posts with inexplicable malice, making it no longer fun to read.Thus, she played Candy Crush and Angry Birds for a while.Nancy had always been very loyal. She would continue to play a game she liked even if they were no longer popular. She had downloaded those games when she first bought her mobile phone.However, she had to admit that they did get more and more boring over time. Thus, she quit the game and proceeded to text Yvonne on WhatsApp.[Damn, I really didn't realize Julian would actually be a violent maniac. The last time we attended a party, he was still a sponsor. From a distance, I thought he looked like a calm and collected company president. There were many starlets around who tried to hook up with him,
Love Conquers All Chapter 227 Getting Ready to Break Up
It was apparent, from the phone call the night before, that the only reason Emily came to see Nancy was to threaten her into giving Yaacob up.Emily was expecting some pushback from Nancy, but the latter just nodded and said, "Okay." Her reaction confused Emily. She looked at Nancy suspiciously as if she did not believe what she just heard. 'Shouldn't she at least kick up a fuss?'"I said okay. Can you leave now?" Nancy emphasized again."I don't believe you." Emily crossed her arms and sat there with no intention of moving.It seemed that she had come prepared to fire a few shots at her, and she would leave until she had at least fired a couple."What do you want me to do then?""The easiest way to prove that you have no intention of getting back together with Yaacob is to leave this city. He and I will go to Europe soon. Before that, I don't want you pestering him. Of course, we won't be coming back here after we get married and settle down there. So you can come back here th
Love Conquers All Chapter 228 Where's Nancy?
Nancy woke up two hours later to find herself in the backseat of a van with her hands tied behind her back.There were two other men in the car with her; one was driving, and the other was sitting in the passenger seat.Nancy did not dare to make a sound; then, she heard the two men talking."How much longer?" asked the man sitting in the passenger seat anxiously."Another thirty minutes and we should be there," said the man driving."Hurry up. The drug may be wearing off soon.""What are you worrying about? Even if she wakes up, she can't take on two grown men by herself. We won't need to be afraid of her man after we're out of Athenapolis. If he finds her missing, then he'll probably look for her near the hospital. By the time he finished searching the entire city, we'd have taken her to a place he'll never be able to find," said the driver in a confident tone. 'Sh*t! They're taking me away from Athenapolis to a place where Yaacob will never find me?' thought Nancy with shock
Love Conquers All Chapter 229 We Didn't Touch Her
The truck had been on the road for the entire day with the women inside packed together like cargo. They had no way of knowing whether it was night or day saved for the tiny window measuring less than eight inches on top of the shipping container.When evening came, the truck finally came to a stop. Immediately afterward, the door of the shipping container was opened, and two men came in carrying four bags of food for the women inside.Each woman was only provided with one meal a day. This was so the men could control the women with their hunger. They knew the women would do anything the men told them to once they reached their destination in order not to starve.Nancy would never have believed that in that day and age, there would still be such inhumane human traffickers if she had not seen it with her own eyes.The other women were already starving. When they saw the men coming to deliver food, they all swarmed around them with their hands stretched out. Only Nancy and the woman

Rhea City was an economically developed internationalized metropolis, despite its considerable distance from Athenapolis.In fact, the city never sleeps, as evidenced by the many nightclubs there. Among so many clubs, the most popular one was undoubtedly Venusee.Venusee was famous for its beautiful and classy ladies. On that particular night, it launched a new event. Customers could bid for female stars to drink with them.However, at that moment, a woman wearing a red spaghetti-strap dress was threatening Nancy in Venusee's VIP room."Don't think that I won't do anything to you if you don't cooperate. I run a night club and I'm also a woman, so I have many ways to deal with girls who don't listen to me."Nancy was sitting in a chair with both her hands and feet tied up. She glared at the woman threatening her."Don't look at me like that. It's your own fault for trusting the wrong person," said the woman. She was indeed the same woman who helped Nancy escape from the human traf

"Stop the car, quick. Stop going forward. It's the peak hour right now. I can't let anyone see me."Yaacob stopped the car, but he did not unlock the door.He lowered the top of the convertible and asked her, "Is being with me that embarrassing to you?""I'm not with you. This is just a transaction!" Nancy insisted.She could not open the door and noticed that Yaacob had locked it. When she went to unlock it, her hand was pushed down by the man."Don't I make you happy? Is Celica unhappy? Don't you enjoy every night that we're together? You clearly have me in your heart, but why do you keep denying it? Nancy, what happened to your boldness and carefree spirit? Who do you want to im
Love Conquers All Chapter 454 Pushing the Envelope

Please switch off your phones," the flight attendant told Nancy.Nancy remembered that she had already turned off her phone.However, she turned around to see Celica looking at her phone unhappily."Sorry."Nancy switched off Celica's phone, but she did not seem happy about it. "Mommy… will Uncle Yaacob call me?""Even
Love Conquers All Chapter 453 Can't Start Anew
After half a year, Nancy finally returned from America with Celica.Celica held Nancy's hand in one hand and a cat plushie that was almost half her size in another.As soon as they walked out of the VIP channel, Celica's sharp eyes immediately spotted the man who had come to pick them up. She abandoned her plushie as she rushed to him, hands outstretched and waiting to be carried."Uncle Yaacob! Uncle Yaacob!""Celica, don't run so fast!"Nancy could not stop her and could only follow behind, picking up the plushie along with some candy that had dropped from her pocket as she ran.Yaacob hurried forward and immediately scooped Celica up. He smelled the sweet scent of candy."Uncle Yaacob…"Celica hugged Yaacob, nuzzling her head against his. The fine and soft hair that was unique to a child warmed Yaacob's heart.It had been two years, but she had not forgotten him!It seemed like her memory was better than expected. She had probably gotten it from him.Of course, it was als
Love Conquers All Chapter 452 Twists in Marriage
Randall and Rowena went to the same motel they had the last time.The boss remembered them as the ones who had broken his window, but he did not give them a hard time, warmly welcoming them instead.After all, the money that Randall had given him for it had been enough to replace the windows of the whole building. This time, Randall flexed his financial might again. He pulled out a wad of cash from his wallet and put it on the counter. "Boss, we want an entire floor.""Sir, do you want one room or two?""The whole floor!"Hearing what Randall said, Rowena looked at him in amazement. "Why so many rooms?""Have you forgotten how bad the soundproofing is here?" Randall replied.Rowena was speechless.The hotel owner was a veteran of this. He immediately put the money into the counter drawer and said, "Okay, I'll give you a key to a room on the third floor. I'll go knock on every door to clear the floor out right now. I assure you that you'll have an enjoyable night!"Rowena fel

"How absurd!"Randall's words were not meant to demean her. He just felt that it was too dangerous for the child to be there.Rowena, however, felt like she was being blamed for no reason."Why are you in a restaurant with this girl in the middle of the night?" Rowena asked Randall.Randall did not answer. He walked forward to help secure Dorothy before he took the dangerous weapon off her hands."Rowena, you should bring Sandy back for now."Rowena did not move."It's too dangerous for the both of you to be here. Listen to me!" Randall told her.Rowena did not respond. Instead, it was Dorothy who spoke: "Mr. Smith, why do you think she can just come and go as she pleases? I already told my subordinates that not even a fly is allowed out."Even though Rowena had been captured, she knew that they would not be able to walk free if anything happened to her so the man would not touch her so easily."Mrs. Browning, you just wanted to talk with me."Dorothy really liked talking to

Dorothy and Randall found themselves in a standoff. Suddenly, a hushed report from her subordinate reached Dorothy's ears. "Someone's outside, claiming to have information on Mr. Randall.""Who? Could it be that Yaacob has returned earlier than expected?" Dorothy, determined to prevail over Randall that night, insisted, "Don't let him in; I can't believe he would just barge in!""It's not Mr. Randall. It's a woman, accompanied by a child." The subordinate hesitated before providing more details.Rowena, who had given birth just four months ago, had swiftly regained her pre-pregnancy figure. She wore a navy blue striped shirt knotted at the waist, paired with snug jeans, showing no signs of her previous pregnancy. From behind, she looked slender and youthful, resembling a young girl. Yet, in front, she cradled a baby.The infant, only three or four months old, sported a hat with a few wisps of hair peeking out and a pacifier. The child's intelligent eyes darted around, exploring the
