Chapter 48

Chapter 48

Jack’s slap was so hard that Nancy didn’t even have time to react before she was knocked to the ground.

“Do you want to ruin the Mellis family? I regret being your father.”

Jack pointed at her with a trembling finger and gritted his teeth.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, endured the pain, and tried to get up from the ground. After failing back down twice, she simply just sat there.

“Dad, what do you mean? I don’t understand.”

“You’re still pretending, huh?” Jack was furious. “Do you think I wouldn’t find out? You bought the imitation of The Winter and sent it to her, and you also used tricks on the Internet. What had Grace done to you? Why did you have to frame her?”

Nancy sat weakly on the ground without saying a word.

Seeing that she didn’t respond, Jack got even angrier.

“If you

succeeded, it’d be okay. But you failed and affected the reputation of the Mellis family. How stu pid you are!”

Emma watched the show leisurely from the side. From time to time, she pretended to persuade him, “Honey, don’t be angry. It’s not worth it, it will damage your health. After all, Nancy’s mom was a mistress. All she has ever learned was how to act like a bi tch. How can she compare with Hedda?”

Jack’s disgust for Nancy grew even stronger when he heard that.

“I shouldn’t have let you live and given you the chance to harm the Mellis family!”

Hearing the couple’s abuse, Nancy suddenly felt that it was extremely ironic.

Her biological father wished for her to die immediately.

She struggled to get up from the ground. Although her left cheek was swollen, she still raised her chin, and a vicious look flashed across her eyes.

“It’s a pity that no matter how much you hate me, you have to rely on me to help the Mellis Group.

When you think. of that, does it make you even more angry?”

“You!”

Jack’s eyes widened in anger. He was so furious that he raised his hand once more and was about to slap her again. Nancy didn’t dodge. Instead, she leaned over and said sarcastically, “Go ahead! But you’d better kill me! Then the Mellis family will be destroyed! Remember! You destroyed the Mellis family!”

Jack was so angry that his face turned red. He couldn’t say a word or slap her.

Nancy sneered and turned her attention to Emma, who was still eating fruit leisurely.

“Now the b itch you’re talking about is going to inherit the Mellis Group. Where’s your precious daughter? I’m afraid she won’t wake up for the rest of her life. You hate me so much and look down on me and my mother, but you still have to pretend to be a loving mother. It must be very hard, right?”

Emma slammed her fist on the table. “You! You vicious bi tch! How can you curse Hedda? The inheritance of the Mellis Group is only temporarily handed over to you! When Hedda wakes up, you’ll have to give it back to her! Don’t be complacent too early!”

But Nancy didn’t take it seriously. “Then you should beg G od to let your daughter wake up. But instead of standing here and competing with me, it’d be better to deal with the trending topics slandering me as soon as possible! If I am ruined, the Mellis Group will pay as well.”

After that, she went upstairs resentfully, and when she closed the door, she deliberately slammed it loudly. Emma gritted her teeth in anger. “Y… you! You’ve finally shown your true colors, haven’t you?

How dare you threaten me!”

She cried to Jack, “Honey! Look at how terrible your illegitimate daughter is. What have I done…”

After going upstairs, Nancy locked the door and completely isolated herself from the noise coming from downstairs. She went straight to her dressing table and flipped it over, the expensive cosmetics on it scat tering to the floor.

Chapter 48 There was a series of crashing sounds, and she seemed to be unable to vent her anger.

She picked up her phone again and dialed a number.

The phone was quickly answered, and her tone was very harsh as she said. “Didn’t you say that this would ruin her reputation? But it made her famous instead!”

Sarah was getting a makeover and didn’t take her words seriously at all.

“Why are you in such a hurry? It’s just a small matter. Just wait quietly and your matter will be over.

With my help. what are you afraid of?”

Nancy was finally relieved, but she was unwilling to give up. “What about Grace? We can’t let her go like this.”

Sarah was still arrogant and confident. “Don’t worry. Since we can’t do it openly, let’s do it in secret!”

After hearing her proposal, Nancy agreed.

She looked in the mirror and smiled smugly. “Very good. I can’t wait to see that bi tch suffer!”

In the president’s office of the Fallen Group….

Edgar was watching a video of Grace dancing on his phone.

He looked on attentively, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently curled up.

“Mr. Fallen.”

Tim suddenly knocked on the door and came in.

Edgar turned off his phone, picked up his coffee calmly, and took a sip.

“Speak.”

Tim stood in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then reported, “I found that the high-quality knock-off dress. was indeed bought by the Mellis Group, but they also transferred 5 million dollars to Miss Zoey. I don’t know how Grace got the real dress in the end.”

He paused for a moment. “Maybe… there’s a misunderstanding.”

After hearing that, Edgar didn’t say anything.

Tim stole a glance at him and saw that his eyes were deep. No one knew what he was thinking.

He quickly continued to explain, “But I think this has nothing to do with Miss Mellis. She’s too innocent.

She must have been kept in the dark.”

“Innocent?”

Edgar frowned, but his tone was very cold.

Tim immediately asked, “Miss Mellis is really an innocent and kind girl. Mr. Fallen, you’ve known her for so many years. Don’t you think so?”

Edgar glanced at him coldly and quickly lowered his head.

After a while, the office was quiet, and the atmosphere was very strange.

Edgar got up and walked to the window. It was drizzling outside.

He lit a cigarette and smoked lightly. Under the hazy smoke, his whole person looked a little mysterious.

“Mr. Fallen?” Tim asked.

Edgar stopped thinking, put out the cigarette, and strode to the sofa to sit down.

“I need you to investigate something. You must keep it a secret.”

“Yes.” Seeing his serious expression, Tim couldn’t help being cautious.

The Mellis Group spent a lot of effort to handle the news on the Internet. Soon, no one talked about it.

After all, Nancy and Grace were not stars, so the netizens regarded the matter of this wealthy family as nothing but a joke.

In the past few days, Grace had been living a particularly leisurely life.

Nancy didn’t make any fuss, and Sarah returned to S City.

Without these two troublemakers around, Grace quickly finished her talent show proposal.

They started to look for a suitable stage.

After getting off work, Grace drove to the training base.

After roughly arranging the follow-up work, she went into the garage and was ready to go back home.

“Oh, oh, save me, save…”

When she passed by a corner that had no surveillance cameras, she suddenly heard a strange sound.
