Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

Chapter 201 Threatening To Reveal Her Identity

“Impossible.”

Nancy balled her fists and glared at Felix. Her eyes were blazing as she growled, “Don’t slander my

mom.”

“Slander?”

Felix sneered, “Why would I stoop so low as to slander a woman of questionable virtue like her? Think about your name. You’re Nancy Cohen, and your mother is Eunice Cohen. You took her last name. You’re not a Hugo. Do you think I would let you take the last name Cohen if you were my daughter?”

His words shattered Nancy’s defenses completely.

She understood Felix all too well. If she were his child, he would have wanted her to have his last name Hugo, not Cohen.

When Nancy was a child, she once asked her mother, “Mom, why do my classmates have their father’s last name, but I have yours?”

At the time, Eunice hugged Nancy tenderly and explained, “It’s because my last name is special to me, and your dad is an easygoing and generous man. He doesn’t care about such formalities, so that’s why you have my last name, Nancy. Do you not like it?”

“No. I love it.”

Nancy was a naive child back then. She believed her mother’s explanation.

Later on, even in college, she found out that some kids took their mother’s last names too, so she didn’t think much about it.

Unfortunately, things were not as simple as she had thought.

“Mom…” Nancy raised her head, her heart filled with pain.

All along, she longed for a father’s love and yearned for a father figure, but fate had played a cruel trick on her.

If she wasn’t Felix’s daughter, then whose daughter was she?

“Who is my biological father?” Nancy looked at Felix.

I know?”
