Nancy turned around and saw Lucy.Lucy stood just two steps away from her and stared at her emotionlessly for a long time.Nancy felt herself shiver as she asked, "When did you come in?"Lucy had probably slipped into their room after Yaacob had gone to pour the water away, forgetting to lock the door behind him.Why did she walk so silently?Someone appearing behind her without a sound in the middle of the night, especially after Nancy had been targeted by a murderer, was terrifying. The murderer was still on the loose. With Emily's father also having a target on her back, how could she not be afraid?"Do you need something?" Nancy asked.Lucy had woken up at the hospital a few days ago and was already back in the household.Nancy never really interacted with her. Even if they bumped into each other at home, they would not greet each other.She thought the best thing for them was to remain strangers, so she did not know why Lucy had suddenly barged into her room."Yes. I cam
"Sorry. Butterfingers."Nancy picked up the phone and handed it to Ain.The latter smiled and typed another sentence. "It's okay. Ms. Lawson, you have such nice skin. It feels smooth and tender to the touch. You must spend a lot of time maintaining it, right?"For some reason, Nancy was not happy to hear a woman praise her skin condition.She found Ain's smile disconcerting, especially since her hand had seemed to linger a little too long on hers. Nancy felt the urge to wash her hands and scrub them clean.However, Nancy did not want to seem impolite. "That's not true. I was just born with it.""No wonder Yaacob likes you so much."Nancy did not like to talk about Yaacob with Ain. After all, it was sort of awkward.However, Ain did not seem to care at all. She talked about Yaacob as if she was talking about a good friend.Nancy did not think she could be friends with Ain. She did not know her well at all.To be honest, she had never let her guard down in front of Ain.Althou
How had Nancy found out that Randall was cheating?It was a coincidence. When she and Yvonne went shopping and grabbed a cup of coffee, she ran into Randall and a woman at the mall.She caught up with them to say hello and wanted to ask them what the occasion was for their little shopping trip. Was there any progress in their relationship lately?However, Nancy turned around to find that the woman beside Randall was not Rowena.It was Lola.That was when things got awkward.Later, Nancy went home to verify the situation with Yaacob, only to find out that Randall and Lola had slept together after the banquet.How could these two people, who seemingly did not know each other, become entangled with each other in this manner?"Then what is Randall's plan now? Lola drugged him. He knows that, right?" Nancy asked."He should know. I reminded him that I thought he had solved it with money, but I did not expect things to come to this."Yaacob had been very busy recently, and the memb
Nancy and Rowena sat in a remote corner of a coffee shop, and the latter took out a copy of the information from her bag.After Nancy had finished reading through it, she asked in surprise, "Do you want to sign up to volunteer in Africa?""The medical conditions over there are terrible, and doctors are needed. The results have been announced, and I am now going through the procedure.""The medical assistance plan written above lasts for one year. Do you plan to stay there for the next year and come back to divorce Randall when the time comes?" Nancy saw through Rowena's true plan at a glance, and she asked, "Randall agreed?""He won't agree." Rowena had lived with Randall for four years and knew enough about his temper.So, she had told him nothing and secretly made all the preparations herself."What do you want me to do for you?""Randall isn't powerful and influential in Africa. I can handle things by myself when I go there. The problem now is how do I seize the opportunity t
Twenty minutes later, Yaacob arrived at Randall's house.However, he did not bring Rowena back because he could not find her at the airport.Randall hurriedly left when he heard that Yaacob's search had been in vain. He brought his men to look for Rowena himself.However, Nancy still could not leave. Randall ordered a few of his subordinates to keep her there. If Rowena could not be found today, he would have to settle the score with her.Nancy did not know what would happen. Seeing Yaacob, she immediately rushed into his arms for refuge.Yaacob first comforted her, as he did not want her to be scared.Then Yaacob sent the men who had been tasked with guarding Nancy away and began to talk to her."Nancy, did I not tell you not to interfere in their affairs?" Yaacob asked.Nancy pursed her lips embarrassedly, and explained in a low voice, "But I owe Rowena a favor. She asked me to help, so I couldn't refuse.""Then why did you not discuss it with me in advance?""How can I dis
"Hello, Randall. I can't get a ride home. Can you drive to the mall to pick me up?" Lola asked."I'm not free today. Send me the address, and I'll send someone to pick you up." Randall's attitude towards Lola was very polite.They did not sound like they were close, but the stern tone he had used on Rowena disappeared when he talked to Lola."Then forget it. I'll wait by myself. I won't bother you anymore." Lola hung up, her face a little stiff.She raised her head to meet Nancy's gaze.Nancy wanted to see Rowena, and her first task was to lead Randall away.So, she specifically asked Lola to help lure Randall away.Now it seemed that her plan was ruined.However, Nancy was not sad. She had learned something. At least she could see that Lola was not as important to Randall as Lola herself claimed.Since she could not get Randall to come to her, it meant that Lola was not as important to Randall as Rowena was.Nancy was quite happy for Rowena. Although Rowena did not care how
Rowena's suggestion had Randall thinking. Two hours passed, and he had finished a whole pack of cigarettes.It had happened before. Rowena had sacrificed her marriage for Johnny. Four years later, Rowena was pimping herself out for him. She asked for a divorce in a month. It seemed that she could not wait to leave Randall.Recalling his past, Randall clenched his fists and slammed them into his shower mirror.Half an hour later, he walked up to Rowena's room. He stood at her door, ready to knock, but the door creaked open just as he lifted his hand.'She knew I would come.'He pushed the door open to see Rowena sitting on the bed, reading. Rowena was wearing a light blue dressing gown with her hair down, looking as if she had just showered not too long ago. Randall could smell the tantalizing scents of her shampoo and shower gel.His dream of four years was about to come true.He sat down on the bed and reached for Rowena's hand, but she avoided him under the guise of putting her boo
Yaacob went for a drink with Randall after dropping Nancy off at university.Yaacob knew that Randall was in a bad mood since he was drinking at that time of day. He put his work aside to keep Randall company. "What is it? You shouldn't feel like this after last night," Yaacob said.Randall put down his glass and looked at his friend. "You know about what happened between me and Rowena last night?""I guessed. There was only one way you would let Johnny go."It annoyed Randall that Yaacob was right.Fortunately, Yaacob and Randall were best friends. Otherwise, Randall would have kept an eye on Yaacob due to his ability to anticipate Randall's emotions. Randall did not hide anything from Yaacob because of their friendship."There's also something else. She wants to divorce me in a month.""Well, that's not so bad. I suppose you would rather spend the last month being intimate with her than have her keep you at arm's length forever." Yaacob saw the bright side of things and tried to com
