Charles wouldn't let her go. Nancy needed to find her way out of that dilemma.
"If you don't let go of me, I'll call the kids. Do you hear me, Charles?" Nancy had no choice but to use
the children as an excuse.
As time passed, Nancy got better at threatening Charles.
"Nancy, you shouldn't shout. You aroused me, yet you don't want to be responsible for it. You are cruel
and unfair! Just help me, will you?" Charles gave Nancy a burning gaze.
He looked hateful and pitiful.
'Pitiful?'
Nancy could not help but laugh when she thought of the word.
That whole thing seemed ridiculous to Nancy.
"Don't laugh, Nancy! You can't laugh! You've been a bad girl, Nancy. For that, you need to be
punished," Charles said before he kissed Nancy.
Charles could feel his body heat up. At that moment, the man was truly filled with desire, which made
him somewhat lose control.
"Nancy, help me! Please!" Charles begged once again.
"Okay, Charles, I will help you." Seeing how pitiful Charles seemed, Nancy finally gave in.
"Oh, Nancy. You are so kind." Charles wore a big smile as he anticipated what Nancy would do next.
"I will help you, Charles. But first, you must tell me everything you know about the club," Nancy said
rather slyly.
"I already sent someone to look into it. There's a woman named Leda. She was the one who sent you
to the club." Charles proceeded to kiss Nancy's shoulder blade. "Does that name ring any bell, Nancy?"
Nancy was surprised to hear that name.
Earlier that day, Colten also mentioned Leda.
'Who is Leda?' Nancy wondered.
"It does not. What else do you know about Leda, Charles?" Nancy asked anxiously.
"There's another person... Anna... Anna was the person who asked Leda to send you to the club."
Charles had shorter breaths.
"What else do you know? Charles, do we have enough reason to believe that Anna and David were in
control of the club? If so, then the case could be closed really soon. Right, Charles?" Nancy was afraid
that Charles would be covering up for the real mastermind, and that David and Anna were mere
scapegoats.
She needed to know the truth.
Charles groaned. "Nancy, don't stop. Please," he pleaded.
"If you don't want me to stop, then tell me everything you know." Nancy continued her interrogation.
"That's all I have for now, Nancy. You can't rush these things. If you want to know the whole truth, then
you need to be patient."
"What if the person that we are pursuing belonged to Fu family? Will you cover up for them?" Nancy
asked worriedly.
"You know me, Nancy. We both hold the law above anything else. My conscience won't allow me to
cover this thing up. Also, I would be violating the law if I did so," Charles said.
"It's a deal, then? Will you help me in this investigation?" Nancy asked.
"I can promise you that, if you promise me that you'll stop this torture, Nancy." Charles begged Nancy
once more.
Nancy could not trust Charles when it came to the club.
After all, Fu family's reputation and the company's interested were involved.
The next day, Nancy went to see Nana. Nana's situation hadn't gotten improved.
After leaving her ward, Nancy went to the pharmacy to buy some prescribed painkillers for herself.
At the pharmacy, she unexpectedly bumped into Anna.
'What is this woman doing here?
Is it possible that Leda is here as well?'
Nancy's heart began racing as she followed behind Anna.
Anna was wearing a baseball cap and her hair was spreading. She didn't look well.
She looked around and didn't see anyone before sneaking up the stairs. Anna was being vigilant as
well.
Nancy followed her from a distance.
Anna went upstairs to get to the floor where Derrick was.
Nancy instantly understood that Anna came to the hospital for Derrick.
But something seemed off. 'Why does it seem like she's afraid of being found out? She can visit Derrick
as she wants, right?'
Nancy half-heartedly followed Anna to the ward.
Anna immediately locked the door as she entered the ward. There was nothing else Nancy could do,
except to observe from outside the room.
After entering the ward, Anna took off her cap.
Derrick looked calm as he watched Anna enter the room. The guy seemed to have expected her
arrival.
"Derrick, why would you let my father rot in prison?" Anna walked up to Derrick with a sneer.
Derrick sported a gloating smile.
"I'm not that powerful. I can't even protect myself now. Saving your father is just a dream now!" He
spoke slowly.
"Don't think that I don't know that you kidnapped Nancy together with my father? My father didn't do it
on his own. You hid behind my father, like the coward that you are. My father was a fool for trusting
you. He should've sold you out!" Anna was rather expressionless as she talked to Derrick.
"Anna, you are wrong. I don't have any deal with your father. I know nothing about the club. If you don't
believe me, you can ask David," Derrick said calmly.
He knew that David would not rat on him. If David were to do so, then he would also bring demise unto
himself. The company that David had worked for all his life would turn to dust. Anna would be left with
nothing else.
As such, David would keep his mouth shut for Anna's sake.
Derrick fully trusted David at that point.
He would not admit anything that Anna said.
David must sacrifice his freedom in order for Anna to carry on with her life.
All Derrick needed to do was keep his mouth shut as well.
Anna coldly stared at Derrick. She knew that there was no chance that he wouldn't tell her the truth.
Yet, Derrick was the only person who could help her free David.
She knew Derrick too well. He was selfish and arrogant. He treated others' lives as if they meant
nothing.
There was no way Derrick was taking a bullet for another man's sake.
Anna knew she had to bargain hard with Derrick.
She took a deep breath. With a gloomy smile, she said, "Derrick, you are truly a character. If I
remember correctly, you instigated my father to kidnap Nancy, right?"
Derrick's face turned cold. "Nonsense! When did I instigate him to do that? He kidnapped Nancy to
avenge you. What does that have to do with me?
Anna, we have been together for so long. Don't you have any feelings for me? To tell you the truth, I
still miss your body, especially when I can't sleep at night. I miss you. I miss your sexy body and your
soft voice. We had such a wonderful time, remember? You really shouldn't have forced me so hard,
right?"
Anna was enraged by what she was hearing.
She felt like she had wasted enough time on Derrick, who had the nerve to gloat.
She knew that was the guy's tactic to get on her nerves.
