Charles was now past waiting. Tomorrow he'd give Jill ten million and sign on the marriage registry
certificate with Nancy, whether she wanted it or not. He had had enough.
Charles never thought he would ever force Nancy to stay with him. But that was the only choice he had
left.
Nancy was too stubborn.
Bobby remained quiet for a while, then leaned towards Charles and whispered, "Daddy, don't let us
down. Otherwise, we both will leave you here. Okay?"
Receiving Bobby's threat, Charles frowned.
"Okay, Nadia. Let's go to bed."
Bobby asked Nadia and she obediently obliged.
Meanwhile, Nancy was worried sick for her children. Her heart was aching for her children when she
heard them cry just now.
She considered many times to just open the door and go to them. But she had to refrain herself from
doing that.
A while later, it was quiet outside. Charles must have taken the children away.
She sighed feeling dejected then called Clark.
Nancy wasn't ready to marry Charles yet. No matter what Charles said, she wouldn't be forced to go to
the Civil Affairs Bureau. He simply couldn't make her.
Clark had been depressed. He wanted to help Nancy, but now, when he was witnessing the mess
arrogant Fannie and Jill were making, he could do nothing.
He felt more down thinking he owed more and more to Nancy by staying silent.
When Clark was blaming himself, he received a call from Nancy.
Clark answered the call immediately, "Hello, Nancy? Look, I'm so sorry. I couldn't hide the household
register in a good place and Jill and Fannie found it. They took it away."
"Father, I know. I didn't call to blame you. But, I have something really important to tell you. I don't want
to marry Charles now. You must find a way to get the register and destroy it. Don't let Fannie and Jill to
keep it, Okay?"
"It is useless to destroy it. It can be reapplied," Clark said.
"As for the rest, I'll figure it out!" Nancy's current strategy was to delay the process of marriage. Nana
would recover soon. As soon as she recovered, the case of the club would progress very quickly. And
once everything would fall in track, she'd have a showdown with Charles.
It'd be decided then, whether she'd continue her relationship with Charles or end it here.
"Okay, let me try." In the past few years, Clark had been too weak to move and take care of himself.
Nancy although wasn't sure how could he deal with Jill and her daughter, she needed his help at this
moment.
Lying on the bed, Clark stared at the ceiling. Jill and Fannie didn't care about him anymore. They had
kept the household register under their control. Their greed almost made Clark sick in his stomach.
They were the most selfish humans he had ever seen.
The mother-daughter duo was being distant from him with each passing by day.
Clark pondered, how could he help Nancy and get the household register back for her?
Finally thinking for a while, he could only come up with one idea, which was to steal.
There was no other way.
He couldn't defeat Jill and Fannie down physically, so he'd have to wait until they fell asleep. He'd just
sneak in and get the household register out of their room. Then burn it.
Clark made up his mind and now he'd have to wait until the right time.
Fannie was a deep sleeper. She wouldn't awake even if there'd be any loud noise at night.
Whereas Jill had a light sleep.
So, he had be careful. If any one of them woke up, his efforts would go in vain. His plan would be
interrupted and could not be carried out anymore.
Because, once they found out about his plan, they'd get alerted and it'd be even more difficult to
acquire the household register.
What should he do?
Clark thought carefully and came up with an idea. He'd give Jill and Fannie a cup of coffee, with some
sleeping pills in it. That'd make the two greedy women sleepy. Once they'd fall asleep, he could get the
household register with no difficulty.
As the idea popped up, a proud smile crossed Clark's face.
He felt positive of himself after coming up with such a clever idea.
Since Clark had a stroke in the past, he often suffered from insomnia. So he already had sleeping pills
at home.
Without wasting another second, he went and made coffee. Then he added the crushed sleeping pills
into it and proceeded with his plan.
He went to Fannie's room with the coffee cups.
Clark knew Jill would be staying with Fannie tonight in order to protect the household register.
The two women were lying on the bed while Fannie was holding the household register high with a
greedy glee on her face.
"Mom, can you imagine? This register's price is ten million! I'm glad that Charles agreed." She laughed
aloud. "He is such a stupid person to agree to give the money so easily," Jill added with a laugh.
There was undisguised complacency in her voice.
"Fannie, sometimes I think you have inherited my qualities rather than Clark's." Jill sighed, "Both you
and Nancy are the daughters of Clark. But there's a huge difference between you and Nancy."
"Mom, what do you mean? Isn't what I said true? Charles indeed has promised to give us ten million.
Ten million, Mom! Can you imagine? We can buy a lot of things with that money. Aren't you happy to
get the money?" Fannie was confused and didn't know what Jill meant.
"Yes, it's true that Charles agreed to give us ten million. But, Fannie, have you ever thought why he
agreed to give us ten million so easily?" Jill asked.
"He just wants to marry Nancy, doesn't he? Can't you see through such a simple thing?" Fannie was a
little confused at Jill's question.
"Of course I can see that, Fannie. I also know that it's easy for Charles to get the household register,
but he spent the money willingly just for the sake of Nancy. What does it mean? He loves Nancy. He
can do anything for Nancy. That's why he agreed to give us ten million so easily." Jill smiled, "Well, it's
fortunate that Charles loves Nancy. We can take this opportunity to fulfill our desires, and ask Charles
for more money from time to time."
"That's right. But now, don't think too much. Enjoy this moment." Fannie flashed a sly smile.
Jill shook her head and sighed. Fannie was smart but brainless. She couldn't think deep into things.
"Put away the household register, lest Clark will see it. He is always on Nancy's side no matter what. I
still don't understand how I stayed with him for more than 20 years. To him, only Nancy is important
and I have no value in comparison to her," Jill complained angrily.
