In an excited voice, the manager told the assistant to take out the dresses ordered by Charles. "Please try them on. If it is anywhere uncomfortable, please tell us!
"Okay," Nancy said, though her voice was monotone. Even when she tried to lift her spirits, her heart still felt heavy.
Nonetheless, she took them and tried the dresses one by one.
No matter which dress she wore, it brought cheers and applause from the shop assistants.
"You're so beautiful, even more beautiful than a fairy!"
"Yes, I haven't seen such a beautiful and elegant lady!"
"I don't think Mr. Fu will fall in love with any other woman. Do you think so?" The manager laughed.
Sitting on the sofa, Charles who had been quietly watching, crossed his legs with a satisfied expression.
Yes, Nancy was beautiful. She was undeniably beautiful from the start.
He knew it!
But to his surprise, she looked so refined and spotless in the dress. Her features stood out and beautifully defined by the dress. No matter what angle it was, her appearance looked elegant. It was much more than he expected.
She was as beautiful as a dream.
"Mr. Fu, are you satisfied?" the manager said with a smug smile.
"Well, this is your reward," said Charles, taking out a card from his pocket.
The manager smiled and took it over with delight. "Thank you, Mr. Fu."
"Give me the kids' evening dresses. I'll take them with me," ordered Charles.
"Got it!" The manager motioned to the assistants and asked them to package the requested items and handed them to Charles. Satisfied with everything, he decided that it was time for him and Nancy to leave.
"Let's go." With the packages in his hand, Charles held Nancy's arm. She didn't resist as they walked out of the store, earning a lot of reactions from the people around them.
"Wow, a perfect match!"
"Yes, a perfect match!"
people complimented, but Nancy smiled bitterly. In her mind, she thought, 'Are we really a perfect match?'
"In my mind, you are strong and won't compromise easily. Don't try to escape, let alone run away from me. Remember this, you are mine, and I am yours!" After getting into the car, Charles looked at Nancy as he spoke those words. His eyes were like fire, trying to ignite her passion for the future. Unfortunately, she still had doubts in her heart.
"Is that really the case? Charles?" Nancy asked.
"If you want, we can work things out together, all right? Just promise me that." Charles looked at her firmly. The fierce look in his eyes made her give in to his wishes.
Nancy nodded. "Okay, but what about the photos?"
Then she took a deep breath.
"I don't care, not at all!" Charles wrapped his arms around Nancy's body, embracing her so gently. Nancy closed her eyes and gave in to the hug.
Right at this moment, Charles' phone rang, interrupting the atmosphere between them.
"Is there anything you have to report, Jay?" Charles asked. As annoyed as he was with the interruption, he listened to the news brought to him.
"Charles, my men found out that two men in black had sneaked into Clark's birthday party..."
"Did you get them?" Charles asked anxiously.
"Yes, we did! They're in my office now," Jay replied in excitement.
"Okay, I'll be right there!" Charles said. Then, he started the car and drove away.
Charles arrived at Jay's office with Nancy. He in particular was agitated and desired to punish the culprits immediately.
They were greeted with the view of Jay, who held a glass of red wine in his hand. He leaned against the wine cabinet and stared at the two men kneeling on the floor. The two seemed frightened.
"Mr. Fang, we're just doing our job. We really didn't want to hurt anyone!" one of the men begged.
"That's right, Mr. Fang. We just put some drug in the wine, but we didn't expect it to stir up a huge scandal!" agreed another man.
"She's a well-behaved doctor. But you ruined her reputation. You have the nerve to say you did nothing? You rubbish!" said Jay, blinking his eyes. He turned to Charles, who glared at the two men.
"Here, Charles. It's them. You can ask them yourself!" He dodged to the other side when he saw the couple coming.
"What kind of drug did you use?" said Charles as he pulled one man by his collar and punched him.
"It's just sleeping pills, a dozen pieces, which can't kill anyone!" the man wept but he didn't dare to hit back.
"It's you two who put Nancy with Ethan on one bed!" Charles accused, gritting his teeth. The mere memory of the incident made him boil with anger.
"I'll upload the video online to block those who want to
gossip! Is that okay?" Jay said excitedly.
"Of course!" Charles didn't oppose it.
Then, Jay uploaded the video.
Although Charles had guessed the truth, he felt much more relieved to clear things up. They both waited for the response to the video.
Within two minutes after the video was uploaded, a craze of comments rose.
People who once scolded Nancy and Ethan turned to attack the people who set them up. Comments rose about how sorry they felt for the issue that the two suffered. In a matter of minutes, their images were being cleared up.
That was how fast people could change!
In the meantime, Dorothy was trembling as she watched the video. Things weren't going to her way and she felt that it was going to get worse.
'How could the two men betray Hale?
What should I do?"
Hale Han was the housekeeper who had watched her grow up. Besides her parents, Hale Han was one who cared her most.
He had been treating her as his own daughter!
Did Charles suspect her? If he did, why didn't he call her yet?
Dorothy panicked.
While she was thinking about all these things, her phone rang all of a sudden. Out of panic, she answered the phone.
"Who is it?" Dorothy's face changed dramatically. That voice, it was too familiar to her.
She calmed herself down and looked at the number. It was Charles.
Then, Dorothy took a few deep breaths, and then answered the phone with a smile, "Charles, what's up?"
"You sound surprised?" A cold voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Yeah. I have been waiting for your call these days, but nothing would come and I ended up being disappointed! " said Dorothy sadly. She had to keep up her cover, or else she would be in danger.
