Chapter 546 Smart And Witty


    When he finished talking, the man led Edward into the club.


    After the man had ordered his woman, Edward pointed out Nancy''s name.


    Edward was worried, he was afraid that he would expose himself before he could find Nancy.


    So, in order to guise himself, he did his best to look like a really greasy man staying at the club.


    When heid eyes on Nancy, Edward couldn''t believe his own eyes.


    Her face was so pale. She did not look as smart or as witty as she once did. If it weren''t for the


    toughness in her bones, Edward would not have recognized her.


    He stared at her from head to toe, over and over, hoping to find a trace of who she was.


    He told Nancy his real identity in secret until she got it. After she understood, Edward felt relieved.


    However, he clearly knew that now was not the right time to take her away. He had to wait until


    everyone had fallen asleep, and only then would he be able to save Nancy.


    The two of them chatted for hours, until an hour turned into four hours...


    More and more footsteps could be heard pacing through the corridors, and eventually there were less


    and less footsteps than before.


    Finally, there was silence in the area.


    The men gradually dispersed, and the women returned to their rooms to rest.


    Only Nancy and Edward were still chatting. With Edward''s presence, Nancy felt like she had nothing to


    fear.


    Nancy finally built up the courage to ask, "Edward, where''s Charles? Why didn''t hee to save me?"


    Edward felt bad for Nancy. She was still patiently waiting for Charles, but how would she feel if she


    found out that this club belonged to the Fu family?


    "Nancy,e and drink with me. I want to drink now." Edward avoided the topic that Nancy wanted to


    talk about. First, he didn''t dare to answer because he was afraid that Nancy would be disappointed in


    Charles.


    Second, even if the club belonged to Charles, Edward didn''t know the reason why Charles sent Nancy


    in, and he didn''t dare to specte.


    Therefore, what he needed to do now was to find an opportunity to take Nancy away.


    Realizing that Edward would not answer any questions, Nancy did not waste her time asking any more.


    After a while, she felt a little drowsy. "Excuse me, sir, would you like get some rest now?"


    There was a hidden meaning behind her words. Edward knew exactly what she meant. ''Edward, it''s


    already past midnight. If we continue talking like this, the sun will rise soon. We should leave


    immediately, okay?''


    Edward nced at his watch; it was already a quarter past midnight.


    "Shall we rest?" said Edward.


    "What?" Nancy didn''t expect Edward to respond like that. She couldn''t understand what he meant, so


    she turned her head and looked at him in confusion.


    "I said let''s get some rest. Didn''t you hear me, Miss Ning?" Edward cleaned the sofa and said, "You


    have to sleep with me for a night on the sofa."


    Edward''s voice was cold and filled with displeasure.


    "Okay." She could only listen to him. In her mind, no matter what happened, Edward would never


    dream of hurting her.


    Therefore, she had to put her faith in him.


    In other words, there was no one else she could trust except Edward.


    "Turn off the lights." Edward removed his clothes.


    "Okay." Nancy stood up and turned off the light.


    The room was immediately engulfed in darkness.


    Nancy carefully walked towards the sofa, one step at a time.


    Even if she trusted him, she had no idea what he was nning to do. Her heart was in her throat now.


    "This sofa feels reallyfortable. We can just lie on it for hours. Ha ha..." Edward smiled


    mischievously.


    He dragged Nancy to the sofa as soon as he finished talking. She struggled to escape his grasp on


    instinct.


    But she was stopped by Edward''s big hand.


    "Don''t move," he whispered.


    Nancy had no choice but to lie stiffly on the sofa.


    Then, the sofa shook.


    Nancy blushed in embarrassment. After a while, Edward stopped.


    Perhaps it was because he was nervous, or perhaps he felt something different now. Nevertheless, he


    looked like he was almost hyperventting.


    The two of them stayed within striking distance of each other for about an hour.


    From the point of view of the surveince camera, Edward fell asleep after having a good time.


    Because the private room was too dark, the people monitoring the cameras could only see a blurred


    scene. As for what Edward had done to Nancy, they could only guess.


    Now that all the sounds in the room had stopped, they thought that Edward and Nancy had fallen


    asleep.


    So the people in charge of the monitoring got up and went to bed.


    "This man really knows how to y this game. He''s probably nning to spend the night here. s, I


    am so tired. He feelsfortable while we''re ufortable. Let''s go, let''s go..."


    "Let''s go and find a ce to sleep, ha ha..."


    The two men exchanged a few moreints and left.


    At the same time, Edward silently got up and covered the camera with a towel.


    Nancy didn''t sleep either, but after resting on the sofa, she regained a little bit of her strength.


    "Nancy, let''s go," Edward whispered again.


    Nancy put on her clothes in a hurry and held Edward''s hand tightly.


    When Edward opened the door, the corridors were dead quiet. It would seem that everyone was


    already asleep.


    The two of them tiptoed across the corridor. When they thought there was no one else, a figure


    suddenly ran out from one side.


    Nancy almost screamed because of shock.


    "Who''s there?" Edward called out in a firm but low voice.


    Since that person didn''t yell, he didn''t yell either.


    Edward knew well that there were numerous thugs and hitmen prowling around.


    "Are you two nning to escape? Do you have a death wish?" The voice came from a woman.


    Nancy recognized whose voice it was. It was Nana''s voice.


    "Nana, please let me go. I have an old mother and two children waiting for me outside..." Of course,


    she was afraid that Nana would ask the guards toe. If that happened, it would not end well for her


    and Edward.


    At this point, it was useless to pretend to be strong. She had to show weakness to earn Nana''s


    sympathy.


    To her surprise, Nana didn''t continue to reprimand her, but said in a low voice, "If you want to escape,


    come with me."


    "Thank you, Nana," she responded gratefully.


    "I don''t have long to live anymore. If this is my way to earn redemption, then I would dly help you


    escape. s, Nancy, stop talking and follow me!" Nana smiled bitterly and led the way.


    After a while, the three of them stumbled into the garden.


    Outside the garden, both Nancy and Edward were frozen in fear.


    There were numerous men in ck on patrol downstairs. If it weren''t for Nana, they would have gotten


    caught right away.


    Not even a hundred Edwards could escape through the countless guards on patrol, let alone protect


    Nancy.


    That was wishful thinking.


    "Did you see that? That''s why the women here can''t leave. Once they step out of the doors, they''re as


    good as dead. I have seen a lot of them in my time," Nana whispered.


    "But if they find that I''m not here, wouldn''t they make trouble for you?" Nancy suddenly became


    worried. She looked at Nana who was standing in the dark. "Nana, I really don''t want to cause trouble


    for you."N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.
