Chapter 422

“I don’t think you should drive the next time you see him. You should just take a plane, I guarantee that you will be able to catch up to him,” Lacey teased her.

“Hey, don’t you think you are getting too much? I am telling you something serious, can you not joke around instead?” Nancy grumbled angrily.

“Forget it, I don’t think you will help me in this. I’ll go find someone myself.”

“Do you have any water? I am going to die of thirst.”

She saw the cup of coffee on the table and picked it up.

Lacey went silent.

Zeke was speechless.

Just as Zeke was about to stop her, Nancy drank the coffee in one gulp. The damage was done.

Zeke felt embarrassed and whispered, “Um... Lacey, I’ll leave you two to talk privately.”

At that moment, Nancy noticed that Zeke was also there with them. “You scrub, you look so free. It’s fine if you don’t make money to support your family, why are you delaying Lacey’s work?”

“Huh? Hold on, what’s that on the corner of your mouth?”

Zeke frowned and hurriedly looked in the mirror, only to find some coffee stain on the corner of his mouth.

He quickly wiped it off and murmured, “It’s nothing.”

Nancy started to get flustered. “Isn’t that coffee foam? Oh my goodness, this was your leftover coffee?”

“I, Nancy Hinton, drank your leftover coffee?”

“Ahhhhhh, I feel like dying now. Just let me die.”

As she said that, Nancy rushed into the washroom to gargle.

At that moment, she really felt wronged and wanted to die.

The last time, she drank half a cup of Zeke’s leftover water. Now, she drank his leftover coffee...

Oh God, what have I done in my past life that made you want to punish me like this?

After staying in the bathroom for a long time, she walked out with a sullen face. “I am warning both of you. No one else is allowed to know about this.”

“If there was another person who knows about this, I will never forgive both of you!”

Seeing that Nancy was about to erupt on the spot, Lacey hurriedly changed the topic, “We understand.

By the way, what are you here to see me for?”

“You should know by now that Riverdale Hintons are also involved in the jewelry business,” Nancy replied.

“Recently, the Royal Auction House has obtained a batch of exquisite rocks. I have come to try my luck to bid for those rocks.”

“I heard that Aunt (Hannah Lawson), has also done this before. I plan to ask Aunt for help to give me some advice on this matter.”

“This is not a problem. At this moment, my mother is resting at home, you can go and visit her later,”

Lacey said.

“Lacey, can’t you go with me? Just take this as a lesson to learn something new,” Nancy whined.

“I don’t think so. I have a lot on my hands now. I can’t make the time,” Lacey rejected, shaking her head.

Nancy ignored Lacey and pulled her away, “All you think about is work. Do you know that we women can’t always think about work? Otherwise, we’d get old and withered before we know it.”

“Only those who understand the value of a break can work with a clear mind.”

Lacey had no choice but to follow Nancy along.

Zeke worried that Lacey would get in trouble as the underground world in Rivermouth was in a mess at the time, so he tagged along.

After picking Hannah up, everyone headed to the auction house.

A Range Rover was parked near the entrance of the auction house.

The owner of that car was none other than Hadley Murphy.

Hadley sat in the car and stared at Zeke and the others amusingly.

“Put aside everything else, Zeke Williams has really good taste. Both the women at his side are hot.”

“Sorry, Zeke. Don’t blame me for stealing your lover. I always get the women I want.”

Hadley had always been a special kid. She was competitive, possessive, and was more masculine than most men. Even her sexual preference was also ‘special’.
