"What old witch?" Nancy asked.

"Yaacob's stepmother!"

"What?" Nancy shot up from her seat by surprise. Through the video intercom doorbell, she could see that the person standing outside was indeed Madam Getson.

"No way. You're at home alone. It is not appropriate for me to be here!" Karter picked up his backpack and ran upstairs. "I'll find a place to hide. Can I hide upstairs?"

"Hey, wait!" Nancy suddenly stopped him, "That… I don't know how to deal with this. Tell me, how is Yaacob's relationship with his stepmother?"

"Absolutely horrible! However, if Yaacob wants to return home in the future, you still have to play nice. Don't make things ugly, you know," Karter reminded her.

Nancy found the problem at hand unsolvable.

If their relationship was terrible, then Madam Getson's arrival was nothing good.

However, Nancy could not afford to offend an elder either. She hated dealing with complicated relationships.

Nancy quickly applied some foundation to cover the haggard conditio

    It seemed that refusal was never an option.Therefore, Nancy got into the car.The decoration style of the Getson family mansion was completely different from that of Number 8. It had a rather classic look.Nancy was so shocked that she could not keep her mouth closed. She thought she was standing in a lord's manor.In a place like Athenapolis where land was extremely costly, it was difficult to measure the value of such a plot of land.Moreover, there were buggies parked on the huge front lawn to drive her to the mansion's door. Nancy felt as if she was at some famous tourist attraction.The driver was a kind-looking middle-aged man. He introduced the place to Nancy, "The layout of this house was designed by Mr. Getson and a famous garden designer, exactly in accordance with the Renaissance era architecture.""That's amazing!" Nancy exclaimed."Since Ms. Lawson is interested, let me show you around first.""What? Is that allowed?" Nancy looked at the time, it was already elev

    Nancy did not understand what was wrong with her coming here. "Didn't you guys inv..."Charlene hurriedly replied, "I invited her. Since Yaacob has already introduced her in front of everyone last time, she's now also a member of the Getson family. As Yaacob's wife, it's also appropriate for her to come over for a meal on behalf of Yaacob during family gatherings."Hearing this, a woman at the next table interjected, "You are so kind. Yaacob is not even related to you by blood, and illegitimate children have no name or distinction in the family. How can his wife dine at the main table when she comes?"Nancy had a better understanding of the situation when she heard those words. It seemed that the Getson family mansion was not the only thing that was old-fashioned, but so were the people who resided in it.What world did these people live in that they cared so much about the legitimacy of their descendants? Should illegitimate children be looked down upon for something they had no c

    "Among all crimes, sexual assault has always been the worst. Even if his crimes have nothing to do with us, but as a woman, how can you defend him?"Nancy was about to explode from anger. "You're slandering him now? Are you sick in the head?"At this moment, someone came up with dessert, and Nancy picked up a cupcake and smashed it on the other girl's face.Due to her impulsive behavior, this broke out into a full-scale brawl.In the end, Nancy was kicked out."Nancy, did you come to make trouble on purpose today? Do you know that my grandmother has a weak heart and could not risk being overly emotional? Let's go quickly." While Rosa talked, she pushed Nancy out of the gates of the Getson family mansion. "You're not allowed to come to our house again in the future!""Oh, funny that you think I cared." Nancy shook her hand. Without taking a buggy ride, she left the huge house on foot."She still thinks she's in the right? How is there a person who's so blind to what is going on!"

    Nancy rubbed her eyes, thinking she might have mistaken.However, even if she got the wrong person, there was only one luxury sports car in all of Athenapolis.Yaacob's car was parked across the road. He was leaning against the front of the car to smoke, looking in the direction of the school gate. His gaze matched Nancy's in the next second.They had not seen each other in two months. He did not seem to have changed much, yet at the same time, he seemed to have become more handsome.He was dressed in casual clothing today, with a gray pullover and khaki trousers. He looked like a handsome senior from the university next door.On the contrary, the way he smoked was casual yet elegant. It was contradicting yet it made him look sexier.When he saw her, Yaacob threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the trash can and beckoned to her.Nancy could not stop herself from smiling and hurried toward him.After crossing the road, Nancy jumped into Yaacob's arms.The clear smell of tob

    Todd agreed to help Nancy write the manuscript, but she had to wait until the early hours of the morning to send it.Teresa's company had ties to the media, and Spencer has a wide range of contacts in the media industry, it was necessary to avoid the time they planned to publicize to gain momentum in the news.So, that night, Nancy was counting the time and waiting for the news to be released.Yaacob urged her to sleep several times, but Nancy sat at the edge of the bed without moving."Your habit of oversleeping is caused by you going to bed late. Shouldn't you try to fix it?""No can do! I'm used to staying up late. Leave me alone and go to bed yourself."Hearing this, Yaacob confiscated her phone."You better change starting today!""Don't! I have something very important happening in a while. Give it back to me." Nancy wanted to grab her phone back, but Yaacob raised his hand above his head so that Nancy could not reach her phone.When Nancy was about to stand up and grab

    Although the netizens all had different opinions, Teresa had a lot of fans, and they were all younger in age. Many people still supported her without fact-checking.Teresa was also trying to shift the focus of public opinion and direct it to the fact that Nancy was using her to return to the music scene.It took a day for the news to blow up, and then Nancy logged in to her official social media account, which she had not used for a long time and found millions of private messages in her inbox.Some people supported her, some of her old fans told her how much they missed her, and many of Teresa's fans came to scold her.Some of the more extreme fans even threatened to kill her, warning her to clarify and apologize to Teresa immediately.Nancy would be lying if she said she was not afraid of these crazy fans.If she were not sleeping with Yaacob every night, she would probably be having nightmares.Even Todd called her out of concern.

    As soon as Nancy walked out of the door, she saw Spencer walking toward her quickly.Seeing the anxious look on his handsome face, which had always been calm, Nancy almost imagined that the other party was eager to see her.However, she remembered that he only came for Teresa."Nancy, about Teresa... I hope you can clarify things about the matter.""What is there to clarify about? Have I lied in the interview?" Nancy snapped."I know you are still hurt by the past, but I am responsible for those things. I don't care if you want to blame me for it all, but Teresa… she's pregnant after all... Now that things are so messy, I'm worried that it will harm the child in her belly.""If this was really done for revenge, then I wouldn't have gone with this thing to expose to the public.

"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?

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.

    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.
