Chapter 1650


    “Crazy b*tch!”


    Chris had just stepped into the Gold residence when he received the text. He was so irritated by it that


    he deleted it immediately.


    “Wee, Mr. Nacht!”


    He must be beginning to believe the lie he is telling so often to be calling me Mr. Nacht in his own


    home!


    “Apologies for keeping you waiting, Mr. Gold.” Chris strode over as he rearranged his expression to


    something more amicable. “It''s been a hectic couple of days. Now that I''m finally here, we are going to


    get drunk.”


    Jesse was in high spirits. “Hah, good man! I have a couple of reds that I know you will enjoy.” He


    turned to a servant. “Have Ms. Nancye down here.”


    “Yes, sir!” The servant set off at once.


    “Is she...” Chris'' voice trailed off uncertainly. Nancy''s reaction had been a strong one that morning


    when she found out that he was a fraud.


    “Don''t worry. I''ve spoken to her.” Jesse wiggled his eyebrows, looking pleased with himself. “My


    daughters are very obedient.” “Oh, good to hear. I-” Chris was suddenly interrupted by a sneeze.


    Without thinking much of it, he rubbed his nose and continued speaking.


    Soon, he realized that he was beginning to exhibit flu-like symptoms. His joints ached, and he felt


    feverish.


    “Could it be that you have caught a cold?” Jesse asked with concern.


    “I might have...’


    Chris suddenly recalled Charlotte''s text and felt uneasy. With some difficulty, he pulled himself together

    by reminding himself of the tests he had done.


    “Nancy.” Jesse beckoned at her when she appeared. “Sit next to Mr. Nacht.”


    Chris raised his eyes at the sound of his host''s voice and gazed at her with desire.


    Though Nancy felt revulsed by the gaze, she suppressed her emotions in preparation to take her seat


    when Chris sneezed again.


    Nancy grimaced in disgust before leaning away from him.


    “You should get yourself checked out,” Jesse suggested. “It wouldn''t do to put it off. You might end up


    feeling worse.”


    “Hmm, you''re right,” Chris said absently.


    “Didn''t you go to a clinic today?” Nancy suddenly asked. “Why didn''t you see a doctor for your cold?”


    Jesse frowned at her as though she had said something she should not have.


    Chris was startled. “How did you


    know that I went to a clinic?”


    “Weren''t you harboring a suspicion that Daddy had poisoned you?” Nancy asked with a sardonic smile.


    “Turns out the report proved that you''ve been overthinking, hasn''t it?”


    “Hold your tongue, Nancy,” her father said sharply.


    Nancy fell silent and sipped her wine.


    “Did you have me followed?” Chris turned his furious gaze on Jesse.


    Without waiting for the older man to finish his sentence, Chris turned and stormed out.


    Jesse did not attempt to stop him. Instead, he red at his daughter. “What are you trying to do?”


    “I didn''t do anything.” Nancy took another sip of wine. “I just hated the thought of him suspecting you


    that I couldn''t help throwing in a jab at him.”


    “Don’t you know that that would only make him more suspicious?” Jesse shouted. “He will suspect that


    the toxicology report had been falsified!”


    “Why would a suspicious little ferret be of use to you?'' Nancy demanded. Updаted at Drамanоvels.cом


    “Hold your tongue!” Jesse roared. “I know how little you think of him. But you will marry him one way or


    another!”


    At that, he turned and left his daughter alone in the room.


    “It''s just a cold...” he croaked.
