A Love Rekindled (Nancy and Bruce) novel Chapter 51

Bruce sneered. "You've reached your goal."

I nervously clenched my fists, forcing myself to stay calm. However, I realized that Bruce was referring to our floor when I looked up at him.

I breathed a sigh of relief and forced a fake smile. "Sweet dreams, Mr. Harold."

Bruce didn't respond but he didn't look as hostile as before.

I leaned against the wall, taking some time to regain my composure before immediately calling Caroline.

"They're not withdrawing their investment?" Caroline exclaimed. "These past two days have been a rollercoaster of emotions."

I rubbed my temples. "Cindy's words are more effective than ours, after all."

Caroline sighed on the other end of the line. I knew what she meant–Cindy's favor wasn't easily earned.

As expected, three days after the crisis was resolved, Cindy came looking for me.

She had a caring demeanor, taking her time to beat around the bush before finally getting to the point. "Nance, I've thoroughly studied Mrs. Harold's preferences. Do you think I can find a chance to put it into practice?"

So, she wanted me to create an opportunity for her and Kate.

I recalled the last time Kate invited me to her home for dinner and said, "In that case, let's go to the supermarket later. You can buy some gifts there. Let's head to Mons Villa after work."

Cindy blinked in surprise. "Are you sure, Nance? Won't it be too abrupt?"

Cindy suggested that I call Kate in advance. But it was more like she wanted me to sound her out.

After considering it, I figured it wouldn't hurt to repay a favor, so I did as she suggested.

On the phone, Kate sounded quite pleased. But as soon as Cindy was mentioned, her tone shifted. "No, she's an eyesore."

I tried to mediate the situation. "Aunt Kate, it's nice to have a good family bond. You should do it for Mr. Harold. Besides, Ms. Lane cares about you. It's rare to have such filial piety."
