WantNovelChapter 401
Vespera turned off the stove and headed for the door. She might be paranoid, but the first thing that popped into
her mind was Tina and Selena. Although it was irrational, that was honestly where her brain went.
She peered through the peephole. Then, she froze and didn't open the door. Pretending she hadn't seen
anything, she turned back into the kitchen. She still had pasta to finish and tomato sauce to prepare.
So, that was why Nancy resigned so quickly. She had cto Londarion ahead of schedule.
But didn't Gerard say Nancy used to live here? So, why didn't she have a key? The doorbell rang again and
again, but Vespera kept ignoring it.
It was late, and most people were probably asleep. If someone else wanted to open the door, suit themselves,
then. Anyway, she wouldn't open the door.
Sure enough, Gerard cdown and opened the door five minutes later. He muttered, "Ms. Acosta..."
Since Nancy was no longer the general manager of the branch office or the chairman's assistant, Gerard
changed his tone when addressing her, especially since she was currently unemployed.
Nancy stepped inside as if she still owned the place. She had told Fawn earlier that she was resigning and
heading to Londarion first, saying that she had her own way of handling things.
At that time, Fawn hadn't wanted Nancy involved anymore. If Nancy kept interfering, it would only make things
worse. However, no one could stop her. She had hopped two connecting flights and landed in Londarion
yesterday afternoon. Nancy was fully aware that Dominic would look into her whereabouts and confirm she was
gone. So, she deliberately flew to Holsword first, just to cover her tracks. But she had no idea what had
happened last night.

Gerard nearly wilted on the spot. He thought, "How have | been? Not good at all. I'm stuck in a full-blown war
and a love triangle!"
Nancy sniffed the air and said, "It smells amazing. Are you cooking? | arrived just in tthen. I'm starving."
"I wasn't cooking. | was sleeping," said Gerard as he closed the door. Then, he asked, "Ms. Acosta, didn't you
leave Halewick for Holsword?"
Nancy asked coldly, "What's wrong? You're allowed to be here, but I'm not?" "N-No, of course not," stuttered
Gerard.
But to be honest, nothing good ever happened when Nancy showed up.
Dominic had basically buried himself in work because of what happened last night. If he saw Nancy now, he
would probably upgrade from workaholic to rageaholic.
Suddenly, Gerard had an idea. He said, "Ms. Acosta, did you hear? Mrs. Reid had an accident last night. Maybe
you should check on her?"
Nancy quickly asked, "What happened?"
To that, Gerard answered, "She slipped and fell into a lotus pond at the ball. She almost didn't make it. Ms. Olivia,
Mr. Harry, and Ms. Natasha all flew back. Maybe you should, too."
Gerard hoped that Nancy could take the hint and go back.
Nancy was worried, but then she

Gerard fell silent.
Just then, Vespera walked out of the kitchen holding a plate of pasta and tomato soup. She smiled politely at the
two people in the living hall and walked over to the dining area.
When Gerard saw that smile, he shuddered. Why did he cdownstairs? He should have pretended to be
asleep.
Vespera calmly placed the food on the table. Then, she sat down and began eating slowly.
Nancy walked over and sat across

Vespera took another bite of pasta before looking up. She stared at Nancy for a while, then smiled again. She
said, "Ms. Acosta, you're free to cand go as you please."
