Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

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.”

This assurance put her mind at ease. She asked, “Has Nicholas seen these photos, Dad?”

“No,” he replied.

“Well, since he hasn’t seen them, I hope he never will,” she declared. With those words, she took a corner of one of the photos in her hand and, with the other hand, squeezed another corner. In a swift motion, the photo was torn in half.

“Are you sure about this, Nancy? These photos might be our only bargaining chip for you. Are you truly ready to destroy them?”

Thank you for your concern, Dad. I’ve thought it through.” Nancy tore up the rest of the photos, shredding them into tiny pieces. Once all the photos lay in ruins, she looked up at Albert and said. “Dad, I appreciate your and Mom’s sincere intentions, but I don’t want to bind my marriage to Nicholas with such a heart-wrenching method. 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. If the day comes when we truly part ways, that would be the best ending.”

Albert could empathize with her words, understanding the pain of a loveless marriage,

particularly the one he had with Sarah. He stated, “Very well, I won’t insist. I hope you two can get. along well.

“Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll do my best.”

Madelline’s mind began to race, and her emotions went haywire. She could not help but ponder, Nancy! How did she get these photos?! How dare she claim she’s not trying to snatch Nicholas away from me? She must’ve started planning this years ago! She couldn’t have gotten the photos otherwise. This revelation shattered Madelline’s understanding of Nancy. She couldn’t believe a seemingly gentle and frail woman could be this vicious. She thought, I see how
