Chapter 899 Anger and Pain J d A restraining order, huh? a Who could protect whom in this world? Even if there were regulations, what difference would they make? "I'll handle this," Bianca said, seeing Nancy's worry.
"It's useless!" Nancy replied.
And Nancy knew what Bianca wanted to do.
"He'll be even more brutal once he's ~ out," Nancy said the next moment.
She had tried this approach before, but the man had been even more violent when he got out. That's why she hadn't let Bianca call the police that day, because she was genuinely afraid.
Bianca fell silent. Looking at Nancy, she didn't know what to say.
Nancy continued, "I'll wait for you to help me win this lawsuit and get me out ) of this hellhole!" Every word showed that Nancy was pinning all her hopes on Bianca.
But even so, Bianca said, "But I'm very worried if you go back." "You're a lawyer, and you know it's against the rules for me to stay with you, right?" Yes! When studying the law here, Bianca had always known this was against the rules.
~ So if John wanted to sue her, he definitely could! But even so, Bianca still wanted Nancy by her side. It seemed she could only be at ease with Nancy beside her.
"I know he's a man of his word. Once he gets hold of something to justify his actions, he won't let go!" So Nancy
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbelieved that the man would definitely follow through on what he had said | before leaving. 4 Bianca felt her head pounding. Nancy said, "I want to end all of this as soon as possible, so what I want most now is for you not to get into trouble." Trouble? Bianca would indeed be in trouble for a while if that scoundrel sued her. This matter was already tricky, and Malcolm's interfering only made things more infuriating.
After weighing the pros and cons, Bianca nodded, "Then you need to protect yourself and don't let him hit you. Fight back!" After two encounters, Bianca knew that the man was all bark and no bite. He was vicious, but one had to be even more vicious to make him back off! But if one didn't fight back or showed | weakness, he would become more
audacious and vicious with each encounter.
| She couldn't stand to see Nancy suffer like this.
Nancy nodded. "Okay!" But how could Nancy dare retaliate? His fierce eyes were like her nightmare, making her tremble with fear at all times! She even wondered if she would ever see the sun again after falling asleep, as John was capable of such things.
Nancy was truly afraid.
In the end, Bianca still sent Nancy back.
When she saw Nancy's and the man's home, the phrase "homeless" couldn't even describe it because this home didn't even have walls! John wasn't home.
Nancy wanted Bianca to come in and sit
for awhile, but she didn't dare to invite her in. She knew John could come back at | any moment. d Bianca said, "I'll make sure this ends soon." "Okay n Bianca looked at Nancy, worried. She wanted Nancy to return with her, even though they'd be living together as the main parties involved. This was the first time she felt this way.
However, she had no choice. As the words were about to come out, she saw the hope in Nancy's eyes for the future. But now, besides ensuring this matter ended soon, Bianca couldn't do anything else to help her.
Back at her wooden cabin, Bianca focused on her research again. Since Malcolm wasn't backing down, she had to work
even harder.
Nancy had gone back to her own home...! Bianca wouldn't budge in front of Malcolm.
So, her life briefly calmed down until the day of the trial. Bianca looked tired but determined. This was the spirit she always had before court, but previously, it was masked by her exhaustion from constant preparation.
When Malcolm stepped out of the car, Bianca, dressed in a black professional suit, gave him a cold look. It had been a week since they last saw each other.
During this week, Malcolm hadn't reached out to her, but that didn't mean peace between them.
It was a silent struggle.
Malcolm looked at Bianca. "Didn't sleep well?" Obviously, even with makeup, she
couldn't hide the dark circles under her eyes.
\ Bianca snorted. "Thanks to you." If it were any other lawyer, she wouldn't have put in as much effort. But because it | was Malcolm, she had to put in several times more effort and carefully study every word.
Malcolm's eyes dimmed at her response.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWithout replying to Bianca, he turned and walked inside. But just after a couple of steps, he heard Bianca behind him say, "If you had a conscience, you'd see the true nature of this matter." "The true nature?" He turned back, his eyes mocking.
Meeting his dark gaze, Bianca was silent.
Sweat started forming on her forehead.
Then Malcolm said, "Those so-called truths mean nothing to me." So, he didn't care about the matter itself.
He only cared about how important it was to Bianca.
Since it was important to him, he would do whatever it took to make her stay by his side. As Malcolm walked towards the stairs again, Bianca said, "She's not that | important to me. I can walk away from this!" Clearly, Bianca also realized that Malcolm saw the importance of this matter to her and was using it to blackmail her.
Malcolm paused, but this time, he didn't turn back.
Instead, he said in a deep voice, "I've said it before: you can't escape my grasp." So, either she obediently returned to his side, and he wouldn't interfere with whatever she did in the future. Or, things would remain as they were, with him meddling in everything.
Malcolm didn't believe she wouldn't come back! He didn't believe her pride
was as strong as he thought. Nancy's situation revealed Bianca's soft side. She was truly soft-hearted.
Bianca watched the man's stern back and felt her anger rising. She knew what Malcolm wanted, but she couldn't give it to him or afford to. Nancy arrived, and John did too! He looked at Bianca arrogantly and threatened, ""Hey, you nosy woman! When I win, I'll teach you a lesson you'll never forget!" His words were all threats. Nancy looked nervously at Bianca, showing she was hurt again. Bianca dangerously stared at the man, silent but intimidating.
And the man was successfully frightened off by her gaze.
