"Give you something?"
Lily angrily slapped her leg, her face distorted with fury and pain. "What do you want? I've promised to give you all the engagement gifts..."
"They were my engagement gifts."
Nancy interrupted her in a deep voice, "I really want to sever ties with you, but I know it's practically impossible. You are thick-skinned, after all. Even if I unilaterally cut off contact with you, you will still come looking for me in the future, so..."
Her lips curled into a sneer. "Since that's the case, then you should fulfill all the love and care you owe me from the past ten years."
"Yes, that's the point!"
Nancy's words made Samuel so happy that he almost jumped up. All he wanted was for Nancy to acknowledge the relationship between herself and Lily. Only then would Charlie stop targeting the Mirren Family!
He immediately lowered his head and lightly pushed Lily's shoulder. When Lily looked at him, he raised his eyebrows and winked, saying, "Nan makes a good point. You haven't cared about her at all for the past ten years. If you still want her, you should give her something."
Lily really didn't want to. She thought that if she could possess Vivian's engagement gifts, she could stand tall in the Mirren Family. But now, Nancy wanted more than just all the engagement gifts. How could Lily willingly agree to that?
But Samuel's threatening gaze was obviously meant to make her agree.
She realized that she could only continue being Mrs. Mirren to maintain her high-class lifestyle.
She knew that if she didn't agree to Nancy's demands today, Samuel would probably kick her out just like he did Vivian when they got back home.
Lily gritted her teeth and nodded reluctantly. Pain surged through her face, which was already swollen. "Fine, how much do you want? I'll give it to you."
Nancy smiled with satisfaction and didn't speak. Instead, she raised her right hand.
Lily saw her five fair fingers and sneered inwardly.
