Sweet Twins

Chapter 428 Take The Initiative To Show Affection

Nancy and Angelina had known each other for a long time. Nancy was well aware of her true face—a hypocrite.

At this moment, Angelina was quite ill at ease. After all, the TS Group was the fruit of Charles' painstaking efforts. As his mother, it was normal for her to feel sorry for her son.

Hypocrite? Maybe. Angelina would just beat around the bush and act all pitiful. When in truth, she just wanted Nancy's help.

Was she gonna ask her to leave Charles?

Nancy's heart sank at the mere thought.

"What do you want me to do?" Of course, Nancy wouldn't take the initiative. She wanted to hear it from Angelina's mouth.

Nancy knew the true reason behind Angelina's visit. She wanted her to go and see Frederic.

But why was Frederic being so cruel to Charles?

Derrick was still in a coma. Hardy was not fit for the business. As for Joseph, he was just a playboy. Giving him the TS Group would be the same as making friends with financial ruins.

Why would Frederic do something so stupid?

Angelina couldn't help but roll her eyes at Nancy. Her hints were clear enough, so why was she still pretending to be ignorant?

Was she supposed to declare that as an imperial edict?

Angelina raised her hand and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. After thinking for a while, she said, "Nancy, I just want you to persuade Frederic into letting Charles go back to the TS Group. If not... The group will collapse! You don't want to see all the hard work that Charles did, just get lost in oblivion, right?"

That was exactly what Nancy wanted Angelina to say.

Nancy said with self-mockery, "Why would Frederic listen to me?"

"You haven't even tried! How do you know that it won't work?" Angelina looked at Nancy with contempt.

Angelina's attitude made it look like Nancy was the one asking for help and not the other way around. Nancy was baffled by the sheer arrogance shown by Angelina.

If not for her being Charles' mother, Nancy wouldn't even talk to her.

"Well, I'll call Frederic when I'm free," Nancy answered while twisting her lithe body.

"Don't call him. He is in hospital now. Why don't you just go there to meet him? It's convenient for both of you." Angelina didn't want to delay even for a second, so she urged.

Nancy smiled, "Auntie if I remember correctly, last time, it was also you who asked me to see Frederic and then"— she pointing at the wound on her forehead—"Frederic hit me. What do you think he will do to me this time?"

"It was already weird when it happened last time. Why do you think it will happen again? Besides, he is so old. Can't you run away when he beats you? If you run away, there is no way he would chase you."

Nancy was amused by Angelina's choice of words. Imagining herself and Frederic playing a game of cat and mouse in the middle of a hospital... was too much for her mental health. Becoming a laughingstock didn't seem that hard now. Not that she looked forward to it.

Angelina was a shrewd but selfish woman. She always considered herself first, and everyone else last.

"If he still hits me, I will never see him again," said Nancy while standing up.

Angelina thought for a while and said, "Okay. If he still beats you, I won't come to you again regardless of what happens in the future!"

Presently, the TS Group looked like a piece of fresh meat to outsiders. They were waiting to pounce on it at a moment's notice. So Angelina felt that nothing was more important than getting past this tribulation.

Only by keeping the TS Group could she keep her wealth and secure Charles' future.

As for women...

Well, Charles never lacked them. And without Nancy, he would have a large "variety" to choose from.

Nancy stood up and stretched her limbs while walking out.

Angelina followed her in a hurry.

In less than ten minutes, Nancy appeared in front of Frederic.

Frederic was reading a document. He had only been reading for half an hour when he felt a dull pain in his head.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he was getting old and maybe senile even.

Ever since Charles took over the group, everything had been going smoothly. It even became more prosperous!

Frederic always commended himself for choosing such a good person. But never did he expect that Charles would outright ignore his words as he gained more and more power.

And he even dared to go against him for such an unremarkable woman!

Honestly, Frederic was still shocked that Charles gave up the entire TS Group so that he could live with Nancy. That was something he wouldn't even dare to dream.

Was Nancy really so important to Charles?

Was she more important than... him?

Frederic was a little jealous as he wasn't used to this. As a child, Charles held his grandpa as an invincible hero in his heart.

But now Charles' heart was only filled with Nancy.

Somehow that made Frederic even angrier.

And at such an auspicious moment, Nancy decided to enter the room.

Nancy didn't dare to come too close. She stood at exactly one arm distance away from him and stared at him indifferently.

"You brought her here?" Frederic slammed the document down and questioned Angelina with pursed lips.

Angelina said in a hurry, "Father, I think you and Nancy need to talk about something. Nancy is the reason you and Charles aren't seeing eye to eye. I think she should clarify it."Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Angelina was at a loss for words. She hoped that Nancy would compromise, but Nancy could just turn on her and tell Charles everything. This would inevitably worsen the conflict between the trio of Angelina, Frederic, and Charles.

Therefore, Angelina was in a dilemma now. Regardless of what she thought she was going to say, it always felt a bit inappropriate.

However, keeping Charles and Frederic in a standstill wasn't a good idea.

Angelina glanced at Nancy, signaling her to take the initiative.

But Nancy stood still. With her hands in the pockets of her white coat, she looked like she had no intention to talk.

Angelina was anxious, but she had no idea how to handle the current situation.

Frederic couldn't stand it anymore and snorted, "Nancy, are you here to show me just how dumb you are?"

Besides a little anger and jealousy, Frederic didn't hate Nancy all that much.

It was rare to see a girl who didn't worship money.

But Frederic couldn't figure out one thing. Why was she still with Charles even after getting a marriage certificate with Edward?

"Mr. Fu, what do you want me to say?" said Nancy in neither a humble nor a pushy tone.

"Well, tell me what's going on between you and Edward? Did you have sex with him years ago? And then you gave your children to Charles so that he could raise them instead, right? What do you take the Fu family for?" said Frederic while slamming his hand.

"Edward has already clarified everything. You just don't want to accept it because you think I'm some sort of witch out for Fu family blood. You even believe that I was behind Derrick's accident! But you are thinking too much. I don't even have a strong motive to cause such an accident. You can think whatever you want, but the truth will always prevail," Nancy explained, without getting annoyed or irritated.

Frederic was as surprised as he was shocked. He didn't expect Nancy to see through him.

"You really didn't do anything?" Frederic asked in disbelief.

"I admit that I called the police and asked them to take Joseph away. I did it; I accept it. But if you try to put something on me that I didn't do, I will fight you till my last breath!" said Nancy in a strong tone.
