It was the time when the competition for the election was the most intense. At the moment, Benjamin had the most number of votes. If word got out that he had an illegitimate daughter, then, just as his opponents were worried that they did not have leverage against him, his image, which he had cultivated for so many years, would crumble.Benjamin was an incredibly popular figure among the voters. As he was viewed as equal to a god, there was no way his supporters would be able to stomach the news of him having a daughter as old as Nancy before he was even married.So, when Benjamin said that, Nancy's first reaction was disbelief. She could not believe that such a calm and collected man would do something that seemed completely reckless.She never expected that Benjamin would actually do it.He had brought her up on stage in the middle of the square. In front of the many supporters who adored him, he announced that Nancy was his long-lost daughter.A few key Getson Corporation figur

"When did I ask you to publish this?""You asked Ms. Meren to tell us to make it today's headline.""You said that Meren told you to?"Meren was Nancy's assistant and one of the ones who had helped her the most when she had taken over the company. Meren was also one of Spencer's old employees…Nancy was startled. "Where is she?""That's weird. I haven't seen her. Ms. Meren is usually the most hardworking of us, so why isn't she here today?""Give her a call. Make sure you find her.""Ms. Lawson, Ms. Meren's phone is off.""Then find her address."After that, Nancy went to Meren's home but found that she had moved.There was a note left on the table.'I'm sorry!' was all it read.It seemed like Meren was actually the one who had done it. She was the only one who could have gotten the photos from Nancy's email and the only one who could have released the news under Nancy's name.Why had she done that?When Yaacob had handed Nancy the company, he had told her that Meren was

Nancy pushed open the door to the study. The room stank so badly of cigarettes that she started coughing.On the ground were shattered glass and a couple of blood stains.Yaacob had not fully recovered, so he still had moments when he could not control his emotions. That was why he had locked himself in his study.Nancy brought a first aid kid inside. She was about to help Yaacob, but he pushed her aside the moment she touched his hand."Get lost!"He immediately realized he had crossed the line. He turned to look at Nancy before he added, "I just need some time to myself. Go out for now."With his temper at the moment, Nancy knew that it must have been very hard for him to control himself and speak so patiently.So, she was not angry. "I'll leave after I bandage your hand."Nancy did exactly as she said. She cleaned the wound on Yaacob's hand, making sure it would not get infected, before she bandaged it and left with the first aid kit.She did not say anything and did not tr

"As we agreed, if I get Nancy, then I'll support you with all I have. That way, you'll at least have me and my grandfather from the Getson family. Even if Yaacob won't side with you, your chances of winning will be much higher.""I feel like the both of us get along quite well," Benjamin said."I think you just feel that way because we're both people who won't stop at anything to get what we want," Julian smiled, holding Nancy tightly in his arms. Shifting her to a more comfortable position, he continued, "I don't like being in someone else's house. After waiting for so long, I think there should be certain measures taken. Do you mind if I take her somewhere else?""Please."At Benjamin's command, none of his men dared prevent Julian from leaving.Julian carried Nancy away. When they got to his car, he put her in the passenger's seat.His eyes were fixed on her beautiful face, and he could not resist gently brushing a finger along her chin. He continued downward, past her neck an

Nancy did not encounter Yaacob at the mall.Instead, she met Xander outside Yvonne's house.It seemed that the man was still following her. There was no way he would have found her otherwise.It had been almost two months since she had last seen him, and he seemed a lot skinnier. He had heavier eyebags as well, and it looked like he had not slept well for a long time.He started to walk toward Nancy, and the smell of cigarettes was heavy on him. She stepped back.To Nancy, Xander had always seemed like a man who lived freely. There was no way he would be driven crazy by a woman.After he had gotten the Yale family fortune and left the marriage that had disgusted him, he should have gotten a new lease on life and completely turned his life around. Yet, he seemed abnormally despondent.He would always say something mean to Nancy when he saw her. This time, however, he was silent. He just thrusted something at her."What do you want?"Nancy took another step back in alarm when he
