Chapter 235 Who Are You

Charles felt his anxiety burning him from the inside out. He had reached the end of his tether and no longer had the patience to play Fannie's games. "Where is Nancy?" he demanded menacingly as he grabbed her collar.

Fannie chuckled at his evident distress. "Mr. Fu, you're a funny one. I didn't know you had it in you to make those kinds of jokes. Why are you asking me where your girlfriend is?" She made a show of turning around and asked, "Mom, have you seen sister Nancy?"

Charles wanted to wring her throat at the sound of her sickly sweet voice.

Jill hurried outside. "Oh, Mr. Fu, it's you. Nancy hasn't come back yet. If you're looking for her, you came to the wrong place. She has only been home for a few days since she came back. I am at fault as her mother..."

"No, I want to be with you..." As she spoke, she clutched at Charles's arm and begged, "Please, Charles. Please don't leave..."

"I'm not leaving, but we can't stay here. Jill will kill us, so we have to leave as soon as possible. Wait for me, okay? I'll be back, I promise." Charles kissed her hand and pulled away from her. "Jill, if you want money, I'll give you however much you want, but you have to open the door now!" he shouted to the door.
