Nancy managed to persuade Yaacob to go to the hospital.Yaacob decided to head home en route to the hospital to get the gift for Celica. After all, one had to keep the promise made to his child.When they reached the hospital, Nancy brought Celica to Benson's ward and accompanied Yaacob to have his injuries treated.She had no choice but to stick around because Yaacob would refuse treatment if she were not around.At ten, Nancy received a text from Benson telling her that he had put Celica to bed and she did not have to worry about them.Perhaps Benson did not mind Nancy keeping Yaacob company because he felt he was responsible for Yaacob's injuries.As Nancy placed her phone down, she stared at the doctor in a quandary as he dressed up the wounds.The doctor said that the injuries could go either way since Yaacob refused to get proper treatment during the early stage. He thought it would be best if Yaacob could be admitted to the hospital for at least a month.However, Yaacob
Nancy left Athenapolis during the most turbulent time in the history of Olumphia.During the presidential election, Donald was the first one to succumb to defeat among the three candidates. Benjamin and Harrison were neck and neck in their campaigns.In the power struggle, Harrison and Yaacob were in the same camp, while Xander was affiliated with Benjamin.Yaacob wanted to spare Nancy from the gruesome details of what happened during that time. After all, she was Benjamin's daughter, and she had been hurt and betrayed by Benjamin numerous times, so he did not want to drag her through the mud again.Benjamin held Anna hostage to get Xander to do his bidding, and he was always the first in line to take any blows coming Benjamin's way. Benjamin even went as far as forcing Xander's company to outgrow their capacity in order to compete with Getson Corporation."Benjamin used Xander's company to conduct fraudulent dealings, and in the end, Xander was forced into bankruptcy. Then, he lo
"Yaacob handed over more than a third of the Getson Corporation's shares to Dorothy. Considering their current value, how much would that amount to?" continued Yvonne.Yvonne was just a celebrity. She could not fathom the exact amount, nor did she want to know."So, now do you know why he's been in frequent contact with Keating recently? Now that Yaacob is no longer the major shareholder, he's unable to be the one calling the shots. What he did was equivalent to handing a knife to his opponent so they could take a stab at him any time they pleased. If the Keatings and Brownings form an allegiance right now, that would make matters even worse as they would be in a position to overtake the Corporation. So I think Yaacob is making a concession by re-establishing his ties with President Keating." Since when did Yaacob ever make a concession? That meant he had given away all that he had accomplished in the past three years!The Yaacob Nancy had known was very intelligent, calculative, an
At the noisy nightclub, Lynn, with a full face of heavy makeup, was drinking with a group of classmates."Lynn, you said you're getting married soon. Is it for real this time? Still with the same old Mr. Getson?" asked one of her friends."I wouldn't tell you if I'm not sure about it, now would I? Yaacob wants to get back together with me and we went on a date just yesterday. He told me after he had enough of a certain promiscuous slut and he felt that I'm the best!" blabbered Lynn."Slut… Are you referring to Nancy Lawson? I thought you used to love her songs when we were in high school."“Well, I didn't know her true color back then. Besides, I was too young and naive to know better, so I was deceived by her. She thought she could do the same to everyone with her good looks. Do you think she was pretty, perfect, and could twist just about any man around her finger? That's not the case at all!" Lynn continued as she downed her cocktail.Then, she crooked her finger to beckon her
Nancy might be older than Lynn by a few years, but she was far from being considered as old.Ironically, just moments after the taunting died down, about five guys came over to talk to Nancy and asked for her phone number.Lynn and her entourage had been sitting around for hours, and not a single guy had approached them.It was obvious that the most beautiful person would always be the center of attention in any club."Shit, you bitch! Your husband doesn't care about you, huh? If not, he wouldn't have let you come to the club dressed like a slut." Lynn glanced at Nancy disdainfully.Nancy looked down at her outfit and felt nothing was out of place. It was a rather chilly day, so she wore a long overcoat. She removed her coat only after she had entered the club, revealing a V-neck cashmere dress.Nancy sincerely felt that was nothing out of the ordinary. She was amused by the irony; Lynn wanted to build herself up as being young and trendy while criticizing her from a moral standp
Lynn and her friends started telling Yaacob what a big bully Nancy was to Lynn as soon as he sat down. Of course, they added a little extra spice to the story, conveniently leaving out how Lynn bullied Celica.Yaacob leaned back on the sofa as he listened. The dim neon light shone down the side of his face, making it hard to read his expression.Lynn also leaned back on the sofa. She said as she laid her head on Yaacob's chest. "Mr. Getson, my father has given his word that he will let go of what happened three years ago. I swear I didn't do anything to Nancy. She was the one who started it. You have to help me."Obviously, the flirtatious Lynn wanted attention from Yaacob, but Yaacob was cornered after Lynn mentioned her father.Even Nancy caught the implicit warning in Lynn's words. All Nancy wanted was justice for Celica.Lynn refused to apologize to Celica. Since Nancy had a go with Lynn, she could not be bothered to wait for Yaacob to make his decision. She was ready to go.
Nancy was still uneasy after she got home.She was thinking about what Yvonne had told her the other day about Yaacob's situation. She was worried that something worse might happen to Yaacob if Lynn told her father about him, even though he assured her he would never let anyone tell him what to do.Nancy was so worried that she decided to call Yvonne."Hey Yvonne, what do you think will happen to Yaacob if the Brownings and Harrison Keating work together?" asked Nancy."I'm not really sure. I've only heard bits and pieces of the news and told you everything I know. Nancy, you should just stay with Benson and not get involved in what is going on between Mr. Getson and the President. We are just their pawns and would never be part of their world. If you got involved, you would only get hurt."Nancy sensed from Yvonne's tone that something was wrong. She asked, "Are you all right?"Yvonne broke down as Nancy asked the question. She began to sob. "Nancy, I am the pawn.""What?""Re
Nancy walked out of the bar after Yvonne left.Yaacob was out in his car the whole time. He followed Nancy as she came out and honked at her.Nancy heard it and turned to look at Yaacob.Just then, a taxi stopped in front of Nancy. Benson got out of the car with Celica in his arms. They had come to pick Nancy up.Nancy took Celica in her arms and turned again to look at Yaacob.Yaacob felt that Nancy wanted to talk to him. He became so nervous that his heart practically skipped a bit. However, before Nancy could take another step, her phone rang.She returned Celica to Benson and took her phone out of her bag.Yaacob had no idea who was on the other end or what was said, but he could see that Nancy was getting anxious, and her eyebrows furrowed as she listened intently.Nancy moved into a corner for the rest of the call. Even Benson was curious. Benson stayed where he was with Celica. He turned and realized Yaacob had been behind him all the time. He gave a friendly wave to Yaa
