"Heaton, what's the matter?"
Nancy put the fruit plate on Heaton's desk and looked at him with a soft smile.
Heaton put one of his hands into his pocket. He turned around and looked closely at her with his cold and clear eyes. "You sent someone to kidnap Verian, right?"
Verian's question was straightforward. Nancy was caught off guard. The color on her face faded instantly, and the smile on her lips suddenly stiffened. "Heaton, what kind of joke are you saying now? Why do you think it was me who sent someone to kidnap Verian?"
Did Verian tell him something while they were on the bed?
"The kidnapper who knocked Verian out with a drug has already confessed."
Heaton’s tone sounded calm, but his eyes looked extremely icy. Nancy moved her lips and laughed mockingly. "Indeed, I sent someone to kidnap Verian Mont. So, are you going to arrest me and bring me to jail?"
...
After finishing showering Little Jelly Bean, Verian wanted to find Heaton to know more about Little Jelly Bean’s childhood. When she first approached the door of the study, she found that the study door was half-covered and not fully closed. She raised her hand and wanted to walk in, but she heard Heaton's voice.
"I will not send you to jail."
Who was Heaton talking to?
Verian stood behind the door curiously. Through the half-open door, she saw Nancy hugging Heaton tightly.
She was startled slightly and planned to close the door for them. Then, she heard Nancy saying, "The reason why I sent someone to kidnap Verian is because I started to panic. No matter how many women were around you before, you never really brought anyone back to Fudd Family Mansion. Now, how long are you letting Verian stay in the Fudd Family?"
Standing outside the door, Verian's feet seemed to be nailed in place. It was as if a basin of ice water was poured from her head to toe. She felt very cold.
Heaton knew that the person who kidnapped her was instigated by Nancy. How could he actually allow Nancy to do such an illegal thing!
The anger in her chest burned her heart. Her heart was stuffy and hot, and there was some unspeakable pain in there.
As she was stunned outside the door, an old and majestic voice suddenly came. "What are you doing here?"
Verian was shocked and hurriedly closed the study door with her hand. Heaton and Nancy who were inside also heard the movement.
"I..."
Old Master Fudd walked over in heavy steps with a walking stick and glanced at the closed study door. "Are you standing here to eavesdrop Heaton's business affairs? Are you a spy sent by a rival company?"
Verian was stunned for a while, not knowing how to explain. At this moment, the study door was opened.
Heaton frowned and looked at her. "Why are you here?"
"I just want to ask you about Little Jelly Bean's childhood."
When Nancy also came out from the study, she saw John Fudd standing there. Her face turned pale. "Dad?"
Could it be that Verian asked John Fudd to catch their adultery in the act?
Old Master Fudd frowned his eyebrows in surprise. "Why are you here?"
"Dad, I..."
As Nancy did not know how to explain, Heaton calmly replied. "Dad, sister-in-law comes to me to talk about some business affairs."
