Sweet Twins Indulge in Daddy's Love
Chapter 329 Confidence

Charles knew that Angelina and Christine had schemed together to trick him.

So when the news broke out, Charles was in no way bothered or agitated. In fact, he didn't care at all.

However, much to his surprise, Nancy was the one who got distressed upon hearing the issue.

How could she be bothered by such nonsense? Didn't she trust Charles?

Otherwise, she wouldn't be this jealous, much like how he was because of Edward.

But because Charles was quick to explain his side, he was able to tame the anger that was slowly building up in Nancy.

"I believe you this time!" she muttered, handing the chopsticks over to him as Charles requested.

"That's better! If we want to make our relationship stronger, we should always trust each other, Nancy!"

Although Charles was a jealous man, it was not because he did not trust Nancy, but because he didn't trust those men around her. So, when he said those heart-warming words, he actually meant it.

At the sudden thought of it, Nancy felt a pair of comforting hands wrapping her heart. However, it didn't last and eventually faded away as she thought of Angelina.

"As for my mother's attitude towards you, I will handle it, okay? Don't worry about that anymore,"

Charles reminded, piercing her with his pair of soft almond-shaped eyes.

Even though Nancy nodded for assurance, deep down, she was not very confident of facing his mother.

She knew Angelina too well! The old woman was not only strict but also impossible to please. More than that, she had always resented Nancy from the very moment she got involved with Charles. And now, it seemed that she didn't like Nadia either.

Even if Nancy were to confess the truth, Angelina would never change her hostility to her. It was just impossible!

"Your mother likes Christine for you, doesn't she?" Nancy asked again. This time, she lowered her head in an attempt to hide her oozing jealousy.

However, the glint of sadness evident in her eyes did not escape Charles' eyes. So he held her hand and consoled, "Even if my mother likes her, it doesn't mean anything. I won't let her come between us, Nancy."

Somehow, Charles' tender voice and comforting words reassured her, making her raise her head and nod at him.

At the same time, in the Fu family's house.

Hardy leaned against the headboard with a newspaper in his hand. As his eyes searched through the pages, he found the transcribed interview of Angelina and Christine. "Angelina, I'm afraid you can't do this. You know Charles won't listen to you. I think it's best if we just leave him alone, okay?" he muttered sulkily at his wife.

However, the stubborn woman-to whom Charles clearly took after-contorted her face into a grimace. "I don't like Nancy. I just can't accept her to be our daughter-in-law! We can't let him do whatever he wants! I'm his mother and he needs my permission to get married!" Her voice was coated in sheer disdain as she spat those words.

"Well then, what are you going to do? Because I think your hard-headed son would not listen." Helpless, Hardy could only heave a deep sigh as he asked his wife.

"Nancy is a stubborn girl. Even if I bribe her with money, she won't take it. Maybe I can use Clark or Jill and bribe them instead! What do you think? Those money-hungry mongrels will probably help us!"

"And then what?" Obviously, Hardy didn't like where his wife's plan was going. Now that it involved Nancy's father and stepmother, Angelina was evidently becoming more treacherous.

"Then..." the woman trailed. Then, slowly, a sinister smile crept on her lips before she stated, "Then, it's none of your business! I can do it myself."

On the other hand, Clark had been recently pursued by creditors, who had been giving him a hard time.

Caspar and his terrible management had buried the Ning family into loads of debts. The amount had piled up over time, and everyone in their family was in utter distraught thinking about how to repay all of it. However, there was nothing much she could do.

Last time, Fannie even resorted to abducting Nancy to get some money from Charles.

As it turned out, Charles simply took Nancy away without giving her a cent. Now, she didn't even get a chance to even see Nancy.

But even if Nancy wanted to get rid of her family, she still carried the same surname as Fannie's.

So how could she possibly turn away from her own blood?

Just as Fannie was thinking about how to extract money from her sister, Angelina suddenly popped at their door, seemingly in perfect timing amidst their crisis.

In fact, even Jill was so elated and almost jumped in sheer bliss as soon as she heard that Charles's mother was at their door.

Without hesitation, she trotted out and greeted, "Oh, Mrs. Fu, you are so beautiful! You look so elegant!"

However, the regal woman merely ignored her praises and instead ascended the stairs in awkward silence. "Please," Jill offered, gesturing at the couch and disregarding the woman's demeaning look. She then hurried to make tea as soon as their important guest landed on the sofa.

"Jill, I know your family is in need of money right now." Angelina began the conversation in her usual stern voice that could make anyone behave like meerkats.

"That's right. You must have heard that Caspar messed up our company. That bastard cost us a lot of money, and now we're buried in a pile of debt. We have no one to turn to. Nancy, who I raised as my own daughter, would not help us at all! She is such an ungrateful wolf!" Resentment overflowed on Jill's tone-much to Angelina's satisfaction. This kind of hostility and grudge was just what she needed to power their thirst for money.

So, without any other words, the latter took out a bank card and slid it on the tea table. "I've sent three million in this account. I think that's enough to save your company!"

Upon hearing the massive amount, Jill was almost stupefied on her seat. Her hand holding the electric kettle trembled, causing the hot water to spill on the surface of the table.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Fu." She smiled apologetically and immediately wiped the table.

However, the woman didn't seem to care and was instead fixated in carrying out her plan. So, in a slow voice, she muttered, "Three million. The password is 123456."

"But, you won't give me the money for nothing, will you?" Jill gazed at the card and just let sit on the table. She might be a greedy, money-grabbing woman, but she was not stupid enough to be fooled. Storming in their house and offering such a large amount of money was not the everyday routine of Angelina. This woman definitely wanted something from them to be this generous.

"Huh! You are really clever after all, Jill!" Although it sounded like a compliment, the woman's condescending tone said otherwise. Then, she leaned back on the sofa and narrowed her eyes at her target, saying, "Of course the money is not free. Your good daughter, Nancy, has been with my son for a long time, much to my discontent. She may not be your biological daughter, but just like you, she also carries the name of the Ning family. Won't you leave her alone?"

"Of course, we should not! It's time to teach her a lesson for all the troubles she caused us!" Jill clenched her fists tightly as she recalled all the misfortunes that rained on them because of Nancy. "Then, take her home and find her a man to marry as soon as possible. I won't sit still until she leaves my son!" With the money acting as her bait, Angelina spoke unscrupulously in front of the avaricious woman that was Jill.

"Yes, that's right. That woman is still a stubborn bitch! Don't worry, I'll teach her a lesson!" As Jill expressed her displeasure, a devious grin etched on her lips. Getting her revenge at Nancy on top of a three million was like hitting two birds with one stone. She definitely hit the jackpot this time!

'Using Nancy for three million is definitely worth the money!' she thought to herself as she began to imagine how her scheme would be carried out.

"Okay, I'm leaving everything to you.1 Left with nothing to discuss anymore, Angelina stood up and straightened her clothes.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Fu. Rest assured that we will bring Nancy back in this house and away from your son!" Jill's grin now turned into a flattering smile meant for the matriarch of the Fu family.

"Well, I want you to bring her back and find a man to marry as soon as possible. Do you understand?" Angelina mentioned it to be urgent, but the impatience in her tone rendered her request as a top-priority for Jill.

"Okay, don't worry. I'll handle it," The latter replied, lifting herself from the couch and guiding her guest towards the door.

After a short nod, Angelina turned around and got in the car, eventually driving off while Jill was left watching her receding vehicle.

At the same time, Clark came out, pushing himself in a wheelchair.

"What was Angelina doing here?" he asked, glancing at the door.

"Humph! You useless man! You'd better find someone to bring Nancy back and a man to marry her. The money would be useless if we don't find a way to separate her from Charles!" Jill didn't come to her senses until she saw Angelina's car driving away from the yard.

'How could this day get any better?

Nancy is still valuable after all!' she thought in extreme euphoria, staring at the bank card as her lips curled into a vicious smug.

"No! Don't go too far, Jill! Nancy is still my daughter! I won't let you do that to her!" Clark's voice thundered as he tightly held the armrest of his wheelchair.

"Well, she doesn't even recognize you as her father, but here you are, treating her like she's some doting daughter! You are really such a fool, Clark!" Jill cursed with a blaring voice that resonated in the entire house. Then, she stormed back inside the living room and searched for her daughter. "Fannie, find someone to get Nancy back as soon as possible!"

"I said, stop it, Jill! I will never allow you to do that! I'll call Nancy and tell her right now," the old man threatened, pulling out his phone that was buried in his pocket.

However, before he could even slide his finger on its screen, his wife quickly snatched it away and thundered, "Fannie, help me tie up your damn father first, in case he makes trouble for us."

"Dad, can you be obedient just for once?" Fannie uttered viciously while towering over her father. And after scrambling for a rope somewhere in their house, she wrapped him in a tight knot. This way, the old man would be prompted to stay put and do nothing while they proceeded with their plan.

Meanwhile, as Charles looked after the kids, Nancy struggled to keep her plate empty with all her tasks in the hospital.

And on top of this, a storm-plotted by her stepmother and stepsister-was starting to brew in the Ning's household, about to be sent on her way.
