Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

Chapter 150 Finding Nancy (2)

“Yes, it’s him,” Linda confirmed, blinking her eyes. “You know, it’s a small world, isn’t it?”

“Indeed, it’s quite small,” Nancy agreed.

It was astonishing how the person they were searching for not only belonged to the same social circle but was also a close friend.

Suddenly, the sky burst into a dazzling display of fireworks – vivid reds, radiant yellows, and vibrant greens, creating an incredibly beautiful spectacle. They sat on the beach, gazing up at the fireworks in

awe.

“Nancy, do you think they’re beautiful?” Linda asked.

“Yeah. They’re beautiful.” Nancy knew that Linda probably set off these fireworks specifically to lift her spirits, helping her forget her sorrows and troubles and rediscover happiness.

However, no one expected that by the end of the evening, both of them would be engulfed in sorrow.

Later that night, the two women sat on the beach, drinking beer. Without any food, they held beer bottles and drank as if they were quenching their thirst. The bottles piled up, and Linda, being the fastest drinker, was the first to succumb to the effects of alcohol.

Linda tilted her head and leaned on Nancy’s shoulder, her voice filled with vulnerability. “Nancy, do you think Luke will ever marry me? I have a wedding dress that I really love. I dream of marrying him! in that dress, but deep down, I know he’d never agree.” She continued, “Sometimes, I wonder if I can match his status once I’ve amassed a fortune and become a wealthy woman.”

Nancy didn’t say anything. She just looked up and took a big sip of her beer.

In this city, there were three prominent aristocratic families-the Foster Family, the Sallow Family, and the Gray Family. The most exceptional among them was the Foster Family, a storied and influential aristocratic lineage with deep roots, extensive influence, and a network of connections. It was reputed to have thrived for centuries, with each successive generation attaining a prestigious status.
