Love Conquers All Chapter 28 What Will Become of Her?
Karter's eyes were gleaming with mischief. "Nancy Lawson. She was a superstar. Maybe you wouldn't know, being abroad all these years, but she's been the sensation of the nation. Her fans are numbered in the millions, breaking records across the globe. The media have crowned her with titles like Goddess of Showbiz, Mistress of Magnificence…" "Get to the point!" Yaacob cut Karter off, his impatience beginning to fray. Karter's eyes narrowed and cleared his throat, ready to delve into the real matter at hand. "What I'm about to tell you is pure insider information. It's not something outsiders can dig up. Nancy's been in love with a man, Spencer from the Shaw Group. They were childhood sweethearts, but out of nowhere, Spencer went blind with lust for her sister." "The affair was exposed, so Nancy and Spencer had a terrible fallout," Karter continued, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "Everyone thought they were finished, but then they shockingly got married in a flash.
Love Conquers All Chapter 29 A Hero's Rescue
Karter turned to Yaacob, clearly confused. "Her? Who's this 'her' you're talking about?" he asked, but a sudden thought struck him like lightning. "Oh, you mean Nancy? Her situation's not looking good at all! Word is, her old agency's suing her, and she's bogged down by a huge debt. She'll be going to jail if she can't cough up the money." Yaacob's dark eyes narrowed. "It's like someone's out to get her. No one dared to help her after she fell out with the influential Shaw family. If she doesn't get through this, her life might as well be over," Karter said. "What about the Lawson family? Aren't they going to take care of her?" Yaacob inquired even though he already knew the answer. Karter's eyes widened with surprise. "Yaacob, I didn't know you were aware of the Lawson Group, considering you've been abroad for so long! The Lawson family is considered wealthy here, I guess. But I'll tell you a secret. Nancy's not related to them by blood. She was taken in by Mr. Lawson, and s
Love Conquers All Chapter 30 Can You Afford the Bill?
"Isn't that Nancy, the Queen of Showbiz? I never thought I'd see her in a bar of all places!" "She used to be so lofty and pristine," his companion chimed in, glee dancing in his eyes. "What's become of her now? All alone, drinking away her sorrows since being tossed aside by Spencer? Poor little thing." Nancy's head swam, the words reaching her ears in a mix of confused buzzing. The voices were like flies, droning on and making her headache worse. She had no desire to respond. The two men, however, were far from done, their voices growing more enthusiastic with every jab. "Nancy, the great beauty! Heard you're up to your neck in legal trouble lately, begging for money from anyone you can find. Long ago, you wouldn't even dine with me for a million. Look at you now!" One of them peered at the empty bottles on Nancy's table and clicked his tongue. "Tsk, tsk... So many drinks. Can you even afford to pay for all this?" "Mr. Wells, why not be charitable and invite her for dinner?
Love Conquers All Chapter 31 So Be It
"Ouch!" Nancy's head struck against the leather seat so hard that she was shaken out of her drunken stupor. She rubbed her eyes and finally realized that she was no longer inside the bar, but sprawled across the backseat of a luxurious MPV. The door was wide open, and the night air buffeted relentlessly against her face, easing the tension from her throbbing head. "What are you doing standing there?" She sat up, glancing at Yaacob. "Are you going to send me home? Can you just get in already? The wind's getting crazy." With that, she reached out to close the door herself. Her fingers barely even brushed the handle when Yaacob grabbed hold of her hand. "So, you're finally sober. Go sit in the front!" His husky voice sent chills down her spine. "Why didn't you put me there in the first place?" Nancy shot him a rather disgruntled look. Despite that, she still slid out of the backseat and got into the front passenger seat. She could not help but feel that Yaacob was not in a g
Love Conquers All Chapter 32 Let's Get Married Then
She was broke and powerless, and would no doubt be picked on by everyone else above her in the food chain. Not to mention that she had turned Mr. Wells down just now despite his clear declaration of love toward her. There was no doubt that he would hold a grudge against her over this, and she would be in a lot of trouble should she show up again. However, at the same time, she was reluctant to admit defeat. She continued clinging onto the seatbelt in silence, mulling her options while secretly cursing at Yaacob. However, Yaacob was not as heartless as he appeared to be. Although she did not say anything, Nancy could tell that he was not taking her back to the bar, and had instead taken a different route. After about twenty minutes, she finally asked him, "Where are you taking me?" Yaacob ignored her. Another round of awkward silence as the two stubbornly refused to speak to each other. Finally, Yaacob stopped the car. She realized they were at the beach when she felt
Love Conquers All Chapter 33 Who the Hell are You
"Have you thought this through?" Yaacob asked. "Yes," Nancy replied in feigned confidence. "Don't you worry. I promise to fulfill my duties as a wife, and I'll try to nurture our relationship too." "What about our sex life?" Yaacob did not seem at all concerned about the emotional aspects of this marriage. "Well, I'll do my best to fulfill you, provided that I am able to," she replied. "Sounds good!" Yaacob was pleased to hear this. "Shall we go to the courthouse then?" "What? Are we doing this now?" Nancy was surprised by how eager he seemed to be. "Since we're already on the same page, why not? Weren't you desperate to marry me?" Nancy could not help but wonder what tricks this man had up his sleeve. He seemed far more desperate to get married than she did, but every time they conversed, he would twist it in a way to make it seem like the other way round. Not only that, but he would always make her feel like she did not deserve him. "Uhm… Technically, you're right, but
Love Conquers All Chapter 34 Foolish
"I'm a businessman!" Yaacob's answer was exactly what she expected. Nancy pursed her lips and tried to probe more. "Well, what about that friend of yours? Who is he? How did he even get his hands on such a valuable plot of land anyway?" "He's a businessman too." Nancy was speechless. "Come, let's go have a look." With that, he pulled the door open and tried to coax her out of the car. To his surprise, Nancy said rather hesitantly, "Uhm… Maybe next time? I think it's best we do this after we're officially married. Besides, I didn't bring any of my stuff with me, so I can't spend the night." Although she tried to make it sound as nonchalant as possible, one could easily decipher the meaning behind her guarded tone. After all, one did not need to be a genius to figure out what a man's invitation to spend the night entailed. Yaacob glanced at Nancy, who was already surreptitiously inching further away from him. He decided not to push her. He shut the door, got back into the
Love Conquers All Chapter 35 Don't Underestimate Him
"If spending my money makes you feel bad, feel free to make up for it in another way," Yaacob added. Nancy's ears began to ring as her cheeks flushed red. Nancy could not believe that she, a former actress who did not even bat an eye when faced with thousands of fans staring up at her, would blush at something this man said! Thankfully, it was nighttime, and no one could see her face under the dim streetlights. Nancy tucked the bag close to her chest and took a small step backward. "Well, I'll be off now." "Hey, I want you to get dressed up tomorrow." "What?" "I'll come pick you up. We're having lunch with my friends." "Is this… Are you letting me meet your friends?" Nancy asked. "I guess so." That was strange. One would usually meet their fiance's parents first, not their friends. On second thought, their engagement itself was already a strange affair, so she was in no position to judge. Truth be told, she was a little relieved that she would not be meeting Yaa

"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

"Mommy… will Uncle Yaacob call me?""Even

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.

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
Love Conquers All Chapter 450 I Came For You!
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

Having finally brought Rowena home, Randall became an aspiring intern dad. Opting against hiring a nanny, he naturally assumed the responsibility of caring for his pregnant wife.He would juggle the demands of running the company and handling household matters.
