Love Conquers All Chapter 34 Foolish
"I'm a businessman!" Yaacob's answer was exactly what she expected. Nancy pursed her lips and tried to probe more. "Well, what about that friend of yours? Who is he? How did he even get his hands on such a valuable plot of land anyway?" "He's a businessman too." Nancy was speechless. "Come, let's go have a look." With that, he pulled the door open and tried to coax her out of the car. To his surprise, Nancy said rather hesitantly, "Uhm… Maybe next time? I think it's best we do this after we're officially married. Besides, I didn't bring any of my stuff with me, so I can't spend the night." Although she tried to make it sound as nonchalant as possible, one could easily decipher the meaning behind her guarded tone. After all, one did not need to be a genius to figure out what a man's invitation to spend the night entailed. Yaacob glanced at Nancy, who was already surreptitiously inching further away from him. He decided not to push her. He shut the door, got back into the
Love Conquers All Chapter 35 Don't Underestimate Him
"If spending my money makes you feel bad, feel free to make up for it in another way," Yaacob added. Nancy's ears began to ring as her cheeks flushed red. Nancy could not believe that she, a former actress who did not even bat an eye when faced with thousands of fans staring up at her, would blush at something this man said! Thankfully, it was nighttime, and no one could see her face under the dim streetlights. Nancy tucked the bag close to her chest and took a small step backward. "Well, I'll be off now." "Hey, I want you to get dressed up tomorrow." "What?" "I'll come pick you up. We're having lunch with my friends." "Is this… Are you letting me meet your friends?" Nancy asked. "I guess so." That was strange. One would usually meet their fiance's parents first, not their friends. On second thought, their engagement itself was already a strange affair, so she was in no position to judge. Truth be told, she was a little relieved that she would not be meeting Yaa
Love Conquers All Chapter 36 Even
The overly expensive car stuck out like a sore thumb in Nancy's rundown neighborhood, but Yaacob did not seem at all interested in explaining further to her. "I just felt like driving it today!" As he said that, he tapped his cigarette and gave Nancy a once-over through the car window. His stare was so penetrating that she felt as though she was standing bare-naked in front of him. She lowered her head, clearly uncomfortable, and started tugging at her dress. "How do I look?" "Like you've put in some effort." Yaacob nodded in rigid approval. The truth was, any woman longed to hear praises of "you look very beautiful" from their male partner when asked how they looked. Therefore, Nancy could not help but feel a little annoyed at Yaacob's stiff response, as though he was reluctant to admit she looked nice. However, before she could say anything, he got out of the car, put out his cigarette, and circled over to the passenger side to open her door. At least he was still a gentl
Love Conquers All Chapter 37 Could Not Get a Word In
Of course, Nancy was not like any other woman. She had never been tempted by any man's good looks before. Aside from giving some second glances, she could say confidently that a man's handsome appearance did nothing for her. However, she could not help but feel that the man was looking at her in a rather hostile manner. For some reason, she noticed that the man had narrowed his eyes slightly when his gaze landed on her face. In a way, she felt that she was being looked down upon, so she turned away to gaze at the woman instead. The woman was so breathtakingly gorgeous that Nancy was beginning to wonder if Yaacob picked his friends based on looks. From her experience, she knew that he was an incredibly superficial man. "Nice to meet you!" the woman extended her hand towards Nancy and introduced herself. "I'm Lucy Lane." "Pleasure to meet you too. My name's Nancy Lawson!" Nancy reached out to shake her hand, but to her surprise, the moment her fingers brushed against Lucy'
Love Conquers All Chapter 38 I Hear You're an International Superstar
Yaacob placed a piece of Wagyu beef onto Nancy's plate, chuckling. "You can't give me an answer like that. That's clearly a trap." Lucy's lashes quivered when she caught sight of the smile on Yaacob's face. She was even more surprised when she heard Yaacob add, "We're all family here, so don't hold back. Just order anything you want. Go all out." "Well, in that case, I want a bottle of '92 red wine," Nancy requested. "Sure thing!" Yaacob immediately summoned the waiter and gave Nancy's order. Not only that but when the waiter wheeled the wine in, he stood up and helped her pour it. "Just a little bit for the taste. You shouldn't drink too much," he said, pouring her a small glass. The look in his eyes was so tender, it was as though he had already gotten into the character of a caring, loving husband. Unbeknownst to him, Lucy's scowl was growing more intense by the minute. "Yaacob, can you pour me a glass too?" she asked. "No, you drove yourself here, so you shouldn't d
Love Conquers All Chapter 39 None of Your Friends Like Me
Nancy's hand stiffened at the mention of Spencer's name. Lucy, realizing that, immediately tried to salvage the situation. "Xander, Yaacob has brought his fiancee to meet us today, so let's not talk about the past, shall we? Besides, we all heard of what happened after that, and she's divorced now anyway!" Lucy's comment seemed to have made it worse. Yaacob, previously oblivious to the disdain in Lucy and Xander's comments, could not ignore this any longer. He glanced at Lucy out of the corner of his way and warned, "Shut up and just eat your food, will you?" "Yaacob!" Xander exclaimed. "Lucy's right. You only returned to Athenapolis a month ago, so you had no idea what happened here before that. You never saw just how desperate Nancy was to marry Spencer. It was the talk of the town! I know you're eager to get married, but even then, you still shouldn't play with someone else's old toy!" Nancy finally could not hold it in any longer. She bit her lip, trying to stifle her fur
Love Conquers All Chapter 40 Brain-Dead Chauvinist
Lucy shuddered at this and quickly released him. Despite Yaacob's anger, she still felt a little upset at being treated like this. "I'm just looking out for you. Am I wrong for doing this? Xander and I already investigated Nancy before. Her background is really complicated, and she sleeps around with everyone under the sun. I have a friend who works in the media who told me that her promiscuity is the real reason behind her divorce from Spencer. A month ago, she was caught red-handed checking into a hotel with a man who's not Spencer." Lucy was talking about Yaacob's encounter with Nancy, but she did not know that. Yaacob did not intend to explain anything to Lucy. Instead, he rubbed his temples in exasperation. "It's one thing for her to get divorced, but another matter entirely because she's now fallen out with the Shaws. This means you'll be put in a very awkward situation when you inevitably run into Spencer in the future, Yaacob! We all know the real reason you decided to co
Love Conquers All Chapter 41 Planning on Getting Married
Yaacob never tried to contact Nancy again after that day. It seemed that he meant it. The truth was, after giving it some thought, Nancy regretted her decision to walk away that night. When she received her court order in the mail, she could not help wondering if everything would be different if she had not stormed out of the room that day. However, every time she recalled Xander and Lucy's condescending faces, she would change her mind. Even if she had gotten married to Yaacob after all, it would surely be a miserable one, having to live in the shadows of his snotty friends. She would rather rot in jail than have to impress his haughty friends! Besides, after that incident, she could not help thinking that Yaacob was far more powerful than she initially thought. Nancy had seen Lucy around town before. She was the heiress to one of the country's richest fortunes, and the Lanes were close to the Shaws. On the other hand, she could not quite put her finger on who Xander was.
