    Chapter 696: You Are Just a Chess Piece on the Board!


    Nancy sneered, "Zane, you''re really heartless."


    Zane frowned slightly. "I''ll say it again. I hope Ms. Nancy won''t mention Neve in front of Yanis


    anymore."


    Nancy stared at Zane for a moment before stepping over him and preparing to go inside.


    But as she walked forward, she paused.


    Bonnie was standing at the door and had heard their conversation clearly. So when Nancy looked over,


    Bonnie''s face no longer held the smile that was there when Nancy arrived earlier. She just nodded


    lightly towards Nancy.


    Nancy didn''t expect this coincidence. "Bonnie... I..."


    "Are you here to see Yanis? She went out with Ste to look at something and should be back soon.


    You can wait for her inside," Bonnie interrupted before Nancy could finish speaking.


    Without waiting for a response from Nancy, Bonnie turned around and entered Yanis'' studio.


    After a few seconds of hesitation, Nancy nodded and went inside Yanis'' workspace.


    Once she was gone, Bonnie turned to Zane. "Did Nancye here to talk about Neve with Yanis?"


    Zane made a sound of agreement.


    "You said some nice things just now; I hope you can keep it up!" Bonnie looked at him but he didn''t


    respond verbally.


    "Have you called Yanis yet? Are you going in?"


    Zane nced behind her towards the studio then said: "I''m waiting in the car."


    "Okay then," Bonnie nodded before turning around and entering the studio herself.


    "You two aren''t going home?" Bonnie looked towards Linda and Stanley who were sitting nearby."Hurry


    up and pack up; go home."


    The two quickly nodded their heads before turning around to leave.


    Bonnie took another nce at Nancy sitting on one side then got up from her seat on the sofa next to


    her after grabbing a cup of warm water for her.


    Nancy thanked her softly while taking the cup from her hand.


    After staring awkwardly into space for several seconds, Bonny spoke again: "Honestly speaking,


    Nancy, did youe here today with ulterior motives? Just so that you could help Neve say some


    good things in front of Yannis or let Yannis speak well about Neve in front of Zane."


    Nancy shooked head repeatedly upon hearing this usation,"I didn''t know beforehand that my


    mother-inw had found someone…"


    "Don''t lie," Bonny cut off what she wanted to say,"Aunt Rivers oftenes here. I don''t believe she


    hasn''t mentioned your address or my shop name. So don''t lie."Nancy paused for a few seconds before


    speaking, "Yes, when my mother-inw mentioned it earlier, I only thought of you. I didn''t expect Yanis


    to have opened a studio here as well. But when we spent time together afterwards, I didn''t have any


    ulterior motives. I just..."


    Nancy fell silent for a few more seconds before continuing, "I just went to see Neve recently and saw


    how much weight she had lost and how badly she was being treated in there with bruises all over herThis content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    face and body. That''s why I wanted Yanis to say something to Mr. Lawrence so that Neve wouldn''t


    have to stay in there for too long since she has nothing left now."


    Bonnie looked at Nancy and asked,"Do you feel sorry for her now?"


    Nancy nodded.


    "Well then, have you ever heard the saying ''the pitiful are often also the hateful''?" Bonnie''s voice was


    calm as she continued,"You only see Neve''s pitiful side but what about Anika''s situation back then?


    Have you ever considered Anika''s feelings when Neve pinned the me on her or manipted her?"


    "When she tried so hard to bully Yanis, did you think about Yanis'' feelings? Do you even know that


    Yanis almost got bullied again once?"


    "All of this is entirely caused by herself; not Zane nor Anika nor Yanis."


    "Nancy, please consider other people''s feelings too. Don''t just feel sorry for Neve because of her


    current state; if what she did were done onto yourself would you still pity her?" Bonnie''s words left


    Nancy speechless; She didn''t even know what else could be said.


    After several moments of silence passed by, Nancy spoke up,"I''m sorry; I made things too simple."


    Upon hearing this, Bonnie hesitated before saying,"Nancy, don''t you think that others are using your


    position as a pawn? You''ve been nothing but a chess piece from the beginning."


    As soon as Nancy heard Bonnie''s words, she looked up at her suddenly.


    However, Bonnie didn''t borate further. She simply said,"Give Yanis a call and ask when..."


    Before Bonnie could finish speaking, the sound of car engines came from outside. Bonnie nced


    towards the door."Yanis is back. You guys can talk. I''ll go pack my things."After Bonnie finished


    speaking, she got up and left for her own studio.


    As Yanis got out of the car, he saw Nancy sitting inside and waved at her. "Ste, are you going back or


    staying with Bonnie?"


    "I''ll go with Bonnie. I don''t want to go to the store tonight," Ste replied as she got out of the car.


    Zane honked his horn when he saw Yanis.


    Yanis walked over to him and asked, "Have you been here long?"


    "Just arrived a little while ago," Zane replied.


    "Wait for me a bit then. I need to talk to Nancy about something real quick," Yanis said softly.


    "Sure thing," Zane nodded in agreement.


    After greeting Zane, Yanis turned around and went into his studio.


    "When did you get here? Why didn''t you send me a message or call me?" Yanis sat down across from


    Nancy after entering the room.


    Nancy had originally wanted to talk about the ring but decided against it in the end. "I just happened to


    be passing by and wanted to apologize."


    When Yanis heard this, he immediately thought of what Nancy had mentioned about Nevest time


    they spoke.


    "It''s okay; no need for apologies," Yanis said softly. "I was very clear that day so there''s no need for


    apologies."


    Nancy nodded her head before asking hesitantly, "Can we still interact like before in the future?"


    Yanis smiled slightly and responded reassuringly: "Of course! When ites time for rings again on


    my end I will let you know beforehand."


    "Okay then... Mr Lawrence is here now so I won''t bother you any longer."


    "No problem at all; if not going back with them then maybe we can eat togetherter on," suggested


    Yanis as he watched Nancy drive away from outside his door before turning around himself towards


    Bonnie''s office where they exchanged greetings briefly before leaving together.


    "All done talking?" asked Zane once they were both seated in his car wearing their seatbelts.


    "Yeah... just talked about ring stuff," answered Yanis simply.


    Hearing this response from him, Zane didn''t say anything else as he started driving towards The


    Lawrence''s Mansion .
