The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 426

It must be Ferry Fang, the mystery man who helped release Yvonne.

Casting a suspicious glance over Nancy, Charles was about to press the matter, when Nancy continued with her confession. "Charles, my crime of drugging Autumn is beyond forgiveness. I am unworthy of your family's respect and regards."

Nancy felt too ashamed to continue it.

Charles found it hard to forgive Nancy for her heinous crime, though he held Nancy in high regard befitting his senior family members.

"Did he give you the pack of powder you just dumped?" Charles questioned Nancy.

Nancy nodded beyond shame and continued, "I had to do whatever the mystery man asked me to do including giving him the due money and drugging Autumn if I wanted to save my wanton son who abandoned himself to gambling which led him to heavy debts and then being taken into custody by the mystery man. I was powerless to deal with that and followed his instructions instead."

Nancy pleaded piteously, remorse running over her, "Charles, if it weren't for my desire to save my unworthy son, I would not have drugged Autumn as the mystery man demanded. I have served Lu family most of my lifetime, but I have to save my son anyway."

"So you put the drug into the milk Autumn habitually drank. Did you realize it was a good way of destroying Autumn who had to be institutionalized, though in pregnancy?" Charles retorted harshly.

"I..." Nancy lowered her head, guilt and remorse running over her. Though Nancy was short-tempered, she would not have committed the unforgivable act but for saving Brent.

"Charles, it was entirely my fault. The drug the mystery man gave me would kill Autumn's baby, as Autumn is too feeble to keep her baby." Nancy wept while speaking, "I am too ashamed to serve Lu family any longer. Before my leave, I must tell you to be well guarded against the culprit who may use another one to harm Autumn."

Nancy rose and bowed low before Charles in a gesture of sincere apology. "Charles, now I have to leave. Take care!"

"Wait a while." Charles stopped Nancy.

Charles moved in front of Nancy and looked into her eyes. "Are you sure you want to leave this way?"

"I..." Nancy looked somewhat perplexed and then she realized something. "You can be rest assured. I will return the money Autumn lent to me.

"I doubt you could find a shelter somewhere." Charles said in a cold tone.

All of a sudden, Nancy found herself too old to restart her life.

Besides, Nancy was a divorcee without the care of her parents. But at that moment, Nancy was too ashamed to stay at Lu family any longer.
