What Clark had said was a great news for Nancy. As a matter of fact, she felt happy and excited but
she didn’t show it.
While Nancy's eyes were sparkling in joy, Charles and the two women's eyes were filled with confusion.
"Yes, it's burned. If you still don't believe me, go to the kitchen and check the stove. There must be
some ashes left on it that I haven't cleaned," said Clark.
"Really? Dad, how could you do such a stupid thing?" To check if Clark was telling the truth, Fannie
rushed out of the room angrily. On her way to the kitchen, she was cursing her own father for ruining
their chance to get ten million dollars.
"Clark, Clark..." There were no words to describe how angry Jill was. She kept grinding her teeth, as if
she wanted to break Clark’s name.
"Oh, yes, yes, yes. I burned it! You don't need to think about Charles' ten million dollars anymore." A
smile of satisfaction appeared on Clark’s face.
"Am I that kind of woman? Why do you keep talking about ten million dollars? I'm just thinking about
Nancy’s wellbeing. What a loving and righteous man Charles is! If not him, then who else does she
want to marry? In this city, there is no man better than Charles. He is rich, decent and good-looking.
Alas, Clark, I really don't know what you are thinking. Nancy is your biological daughter. Why does it
seem like you don’t worry about her at all? She’s already the mother of Charles’ two children. Does she
want to find a better man than Charles? This is unrealistic, very unrealistic. You will definitely regret
what you have done today!" The way Jill said these words sounded so sincere, and she was also great
at faking her facial expression.
Fortunately, Nancy was smart enough to know that she was not telling the truth.
"My marriage is up to me. You don't have to worry about it. Dad, have a good rest. I still have an
operation today. I'll come to see you later when I have time." As a doctor, Nancy was worried about her
patients all the time. It was a good thing that Clark was fine, so Nancy could go back to the hospital at
ease.
With a smile on his face, Clark nodded at her and lay down on his bed. "You can go now."
There was no doubt that he was very satisfied with the current situation. He didn’t regret burning the
household register because he saw the happiness in Nancy’s eyes.
"Then I'll go now. Bye, dad." Without casting a glance at Charles, Nancy turned around and walked out
of the room.
"Nancy..." If there was one person who was greatly disappointed to know that Clark burned the
household register, it was Charles.
How could he not be disappointed when his marriage with Nancy was postponed again?
Although Clark deliberately burned it to prevent him from marrying Nancy, Charles still cared about him
so he glared at Jill. "Take good care of uncle; otherwise you won't get any money."
With a smile, Jill answered, "Charles, what are you talking about? Clark is my husband. Even if you
don't give me a penny, I will take good care of him."
Her voice was so sweet that it made people feel uncomfortable.
After saying goodbye to Clark, Charles caught up with Nancy.
As soon as Charles disappeared from her sight, the smile on Jill’s face faded. "Clark, you really
impress me!"
"Oh, my God! The household register of our family is really burnt. Nancy, look!" When Fannie saw the
ashes on the stove, she was devastated. She ran back to Clark’s room with the ashes in her hands,
and happened to bump into Nancy along the way.
Nancy glanced at Fannie's hand indifferently. "It doesn't matter. It's just the household register."
"How could you say that? It is necessary for many things in life. How can a family not have a household
register?" In reality, Fannie was angry because of the money they were supposed to get from Charles.
"If you have any problem, just call Mr. Fu. I think he will try his best to solve it for you." As Nancy spoke,
she looked back at Charles and smiled slyly. "Right, Mr. Fu?"
"I'm not interested!" His eyes were filled with hatred.
"You... How can you take pleasure in my misfortune?"
Shrugging her shoulders, Nancy replied, "No, I didn't."
There was never a time that Nancy took pleasure in someone else's misfortune, but she was really
right now.
And certainly Charles wasn't pleased.
"Are you leaving now?" Disappointment was evident in Fannie’s voice when she spoke.
Looking at Charles, Fannie felt heartbroken. By this time, she should’ve been holding the ten million
dollars in her hands, but it flew away because of the trouble Clark had made.
How could Fannie, who was a miser, not feel sorry for herself?
Besides, only Clark and Nancy were happy with what happened. "Bye. I'm busy."
Nancy had never been so relaxed and comfortable like this before. Her mind and body were both at
ease that she didn’t care whatever Fannie and Charles would talk about once she left.
At this moment, Nancy could only celebrate because she didn’t need to face Charles’ threat anymore.
Ignoring Fannie, Charles followed Nancy out. "Nancy, you can be complacent for this moment, but
listen to me carefully, it won't last long!"
When she heard Charles' voice, Nancy stopped walking and looked at him with unconcealed
complacency in her eyes. "I'm sorry, Mr. Fu. I don't understand what you are talking about. I'm going to
work now. Can you give me a ride?"
Without saying a word, Charles walked out of the courtyard and went straight to his car.
Then he drove off, leaving Nancy alone at the gate of their house.
His action made Nancy stomp her feet in anger. "Charles, you are a haunting devil! I hope your car
runs out of gas on the way. No, no, I wish your car has a flat tire, and I wish you..."
Since Nancy was not the kind of person who cursed, she had a hard time finding the right words to say.
"Charles, you bastard, you coward..." Groaning in frustration, Nancy looked around to find a taxi.
However, it was rare for a taxi to pass by here so in the end, she called Uber.
To her annoyance, it took more than ten minutes for the Uber to arrive.
As soon as it stopped in front of her, she got in and went straight to the hospital.
Out of anger, Charles drove alone and left Nancy behind.
But after driving for a short distance, he began to worry about Nancy's safety. He feared that she would
be taken away again by some bad person. Therefore, he turned the car around and drove back.
Without any intention of taking her into his car, Charles stopped not so far away. Then he lit a cigarette
and smoked while looking at her.
It was obvious on Nancy’s face that she was beginning to feel impatient while waiting for a car.
Hearing Nancy cursed made Charles smile.
When the Uber arrived and Nancy got in, Charles threw his cigarette away and started the car.
Then he followed the car and made sure Nancy entered the hospital first before he left. A real man
indeed never stopped caring about his woman no matter how angry he was.
After checking Finn’s recovery, Nancy went straight to Nana's room.
"Nana, how are you feeling?" asked Nancy with concern.
If everything went well, Nana's condition should be better than yesterday, because Rick had said that
the effect of the medicine would be obvious at the beginning. Then it would slow down as her condition
got better.
"Who are you? I didn't do anything. Don't hit me... Don't hit me!" However, as soon as Nana saw her,
she held herself in horror. She was trembling as she lowered her head, afraid that the person in front of
her would hurt her.
