Chapter 106 Interrogating Nancy

“Dad, now that you’ve entrusted these things to me, can I understand it as having the freedom to handle them as I see fit?” Nancy asked seriously.

Albert nodded solemnly, saying, “Yes, you have the freedom.”

If there’s love between us, I won’t need this. If there isn’t, even using this to keep him by my side would be meaningless.” She added, “A loveless marriage is like stagnant water.
