Chapter 73
Edgar didn’t utter a word and looked at her with a livid face.
“Edgar, hear me out…” Nancy fumbled for an explanation, “You’re reading too much into it. It was just
idle chit–chat.”
Cold sweat was breaking out across her forehead, uncertain of how much of her conversation with Sarah he had actually overheard, so she decided to play dumb.
“What are you going to do?”
Edgar brushed aside her attempt at explanation, a ruthless glint in his eyes.
That icy stare, that frosty tone, could it be that he had heard it all?!
Nancy’s hand instinctively clenched the corner of the quilt.
“It’s nothing, I was just chewing the fat with a friend. Don’t you trust me?”
Edgar paid no heed to her doe–eyed pleas, his piercing gaze seeming to see right through her: “You should know, even if you keep mum, I can send someone to dig up the truth. But by then, you’ll be out of luck.”
He kept toying with his wristwatch, his face a mask, hiding any emotions that might give him away. This poker face of his put Nancy even more on edge.
She bit her lip, realizing she couldn’t weasel her way out of his line of questioning. Tears welled up in her eyes as she started to choke back sobs.

to her.
“During the Mellis Group banquet last time, she shamed me. She even had the audacity to lay a hand on
me this time, I was just a hair’s breadth away from losing my chastity!
“Edgar! I despise her, I truly do! I just wanted to knock her down a peg or two. What’s so wrong about
that?”
She threw herself into Edgar’s arms, trying to play the damsel in distress, but he simply furrowed his brow and steadied her.
“I’m going to ask you one last time, where is Sylvia?”
