"Now is not the time to ask questions about love. You better think of a way to make Charles let go of us!" Caspar boasted an irate look as he scolded Fannie.
"What do you mean? I'm not going to ask Nancy for help! God, no!" Despise was written all over her face as she cursed those words like a spell.
"Are you an idiot?! I didn't exactly ask you to do that!" This time, Caspar aggressively rubbed his temple, trying to think of a solution. After pausing for a while, he continued, "Maybe we can still have a chance if dad and mom agree to help us!"
"What are you thinking? Are you going to sell out the shares I just gained?! What?! No way! I went through significant measures just to get my hands on them!" Fannie gritted her teeth in disbelief. There was no way he'd let Caspar do what he was thinking!
Seeing as how delusional and desperate Fannie was, he tried to knock some sense into her. Raising his hand, he landed a slap on her face and uttered, "Fannie Ning, if you dare to do against Nancy, I'm sure you'll be dead in less than a month. Just think about it!" Although Caspar did exaggerate a little, we weren't really lying at all. He knew Charles would do anything in his power to protect Nancy, and if that happened, they would be at a disadvantage.
So instead of trying to persuade Fannie in her deranged state, he got in his car and drove off, leaving the former behind. "Hey! You son of a bitch!" Left in utter disbelief, Fannie stamped her fee
wake up. I only have you now. What will happen to me if you leave too?" She continued weeping while tightly clasping Jade's hand and rubbing it against her cheeks.
Nancy was in this position when her phone suddenly rang.
It was from an unregistered number.
"Hello?" Thinking that it was something about her patient, Nancy answered in a hurry.
However, it turned out to be Caspar.
"Nancy..." His voice sounded a little bitter from the other line.
"Caspar?" Nancy felt nothing but disgust upon hearing his voice.
"Yes, it's me. I didn't think Fannie would go that far. What should I do?" They were not really that close, so Nancy was baffled as to why he would call her to say this.
More than that, what happened between them in the past didn't matter to her now.
"Caspar, what does it have to do with me?" Nancy asked, thinking how ridiculous he sounded right now.
"I still love you, Nancy." Without thinking twice, Caspar blurted out his true feelings.
"You son of a bitch!" Nancy cursed in a low voice and hung up, feeling so flustered at that sudden confession.
As she tried to calm herself, the door suddenly reeked open.
And to her surprise, the bastard––Caspar––walked in, holding a large bouquet of roses.
"Fuck off!" she immediately shouted in a low voice.
"Nancy, I know you don't want to see me, but I really miss you. What I said is true––I still love you." With these words, he walked towards her, sporting a sly smile.
