"There's nothing wrong with my IQ. With my score, I could enter tier-two university without a problem," Nancy emphasized. She considered herself truly amazing and smart to qualify for tier-two university after studying for just one month."Lucy is a top financial student who graduated from Columbia University. Getson Corporation only hires graduates from top universities in the world. Our management-level employees are all the top students from reputable and famous universities. A tier-two university can't even get you into an entrance ticket to an interview in Getson Corporation," Lady Getson gave her the cold shoulder."Who's telling you I'm going to work in Getson Corporation after I graduate?" Nancy grumbled softly, "I'm not hoping to become a secretary or admin who does photocopying work in the company. I want to use my own power and influence to help Yaacob."She had planned everything. Although her score only allowed her to enter a tier-two university, her score was still con
At least, Nancy thought she found a good reason to convince him.After all, according to the rumors, Spencer was the guy Nancy could never forget in her life. The last time Yaacob was jealous was because of gossip. Surely, he was going to worry that Nancy would have an affair with Spencer by being in the same school.Nevertheless, the information did not come as a surprise to Yaacob. It seemed like he knew about it.As he dried his hair with the towel, he said, "You're the one who says you have no feelings for him anymore. So what are you afraid of?""Afraid? I'm afraid that you will worry I will have an affair!" Nancy answered."I trust you," Yaacob said.In this situation, Nancy did not know how to respond. Was she feeling touched? No. It just felt like Yaacob was tricking her.For the rest of the night, Nancy kept on trying to change his mind until they went to bed."No! I don't agree. I want to study at the Film and Theater Academy. I want to act. I don't want to go to that
"Why not?" Nancy asked, feeling puzzled."The registration is over. What's the point of you making a fuss now?" Yaacob asked."All thanks to you! I could have made it before the due date to transfer my admission to the Film and Theater Academy!" Nancy said it angrily.Her stress level and anger got filled up again. Along with the other half she vented out on the way to Randall's house.She pouted her lips, looked outside, and decided she was not going to talk to Yaacob anymore. In the meantime, Yaacob did not do or say anything because he thought of giving her time to cool down. For the rest of the travel, none of them spoke.Little did Yaacob know, this was the worst way a man should handle a conflict or a fight. Instead of cooling down, the amount of anger she was feeling doubled and perhaps even tripled. To the extent that, she refused to walk together with Yaacob to enter the estate.Yaacob was walking in the front and she would walk slowly while stepping on a leaf on and on
"Why would I want to have a divorce?" Nancy asked."I'm putting everything I have on this project. There is a chance that I end up losing everything," Yaacob reminded."Then I'll start all over with you again. We're still so young. So we get kicked out of the Getsons. So what? I never care about any of these," claimed Nancy confidently.Yet, her action had betrayed her. She continued to hold the limited edition bag and it just made her look very contradicting. Therefore, Yaacob did not believe Nancy was able to live a hard life with him."But you're not going to have branded clothes and accessories, buy expensive skin care, no more afternoon teas, and you have to work hard just to put food on the table. Have you seriously considered this?" Yaacob asked.At the very first, she really thought it was nothing. Hearing how hard it was going to be, sadness started to strike on her. She put down her bag and threw herself into Yaacob's arms. "I already have a lot of bags. Ten new ones don
"Are you using Julian to threaten me too? Do you really think I'm scared of him? Don't you know my grandpa and his grandpa used to be comrades in arms? My grandpa has quite a sway in Athenapolis too! I'm going to tell my grandpa if he dares to do anything to me! Worst comes to worst, I'll just divorce him! The only reason I married him in the first place is because…""Shut up right now!" said Nancy. She quickly gave Lucy a look.However, Lucy did not get what Nancy was hinting at. "What are you doing, Nancy? Don't think you can act like a b*tch just because you have Yaacob to protect you! You have no idea what my relationship is like with him! I was there with him when he was at his lowest, whereas you were nowhere to be found!"Nancy was speechless. 'One day her stupidity is definitely going to get her killed. That or her penchant for drama. Oh well, it's not like I didn't warn her. She only has herself to blame if something bad happens to her now.'It finally dawned on Lucy that
The next day, Nancy went to the hospital after having her breakfast.After staying with the Getsons for the past several days, she had almost overcome her habit of sleeping in.It had been quite a while since she last visited her grandfather since she was busy with all the unexpected things that had been happening in her life. Thus, she decided to go earlier than the stated time so that she could chat with her grandfather before all the other people arrived.However, she was walking to the hospital entrance with bags of supplements in her hands when she happened to see Spencer too.He was dressed in a white shirt and leaning against the front of his Pagani Zonda. From time to time, he would look at his watch; it seemed like he had been waiting there for a long time.'Spencer would never come visit Grandpa by himself so he must've come with Teresa,' thought Nancy.Thus, she decided to let him be and took the long way round to get past him. However, unfortunately, it just so happen
"I've never wanted the inheritance nor am I the type who would stop anything to get all that money like you said," said Nancy."Huh! As if I'm ever going to believe that. Why don't you give up your share of the inheritance if you really mean what you said?" retorted Sheila.Nancy knew Sheila was just trying to provoke her, so she did not take the bait."I don't care if you believe me or not. I don't need to prove myself. Aunt Sheila, might I remind you to keep your temper in check so that you won't cause any unnecessary shock to Grandpa? You know very well his heart can't take it."Sheila was about to say something again when Andrew roared, "Get out! Get… out… right now!"Andrew had recovered somewhat after some bedrest, but he reverted to his sickly self after Sheila's provocation.In the end, Sheila had no choice but to leave the room in a huff.Knowing there would not be any further discussion on the matter, the other relatives started leaving the room one after another too.
Nancy kept waiting for Yaacob to reply.She pressed her phone to her chest while imagining what it would be like to bring Yaacob to visit her grandpa.'He's a sweet-talker so Grandpa would probably like him,' she thought.Nancy could still recall how against the marriage her grandpa was when she told him she was going to marry Spencer. The old man feared that Spencer would not treat Nancy well since he could tell he was not really in love with her.However, Nancy was too blinded with love to listen to Andrew's caution. In the end, her divorce proved him right.'I can't wait to bring Yaacob to meet Grandpa. I want him to see that I've finally found a man who loves and cares about me. I'm sure he'll worry less about me once he gets to know Yaacob.'Nancy was super confident she had chosen the right man this time.However, she still did not receive any reply from Yaacob even after Harvey came back with her coffee.'Is that silly man in some place without a signal again?' she wonde
