'It is obvious that Nancy made that painting. All I want is for her to confirm my guess. Why is that so difficult for her?' Charles wondered.

He rolled his eyes and said in a petulant whine, "Yes it was drawn by my lover, Nancy. Are you jealous?"

'Your lover, huh?' Nancy thought.

"Charles, you really know how to enjoy yourself, don't you? Maybe you should go out and get your lover to make you another one!"

After she said that with hard-staring eyes, Nancy tore down the painting into little pieces.

"Nancy!" He looked at all the pieces of paper on the ground with a face contorted in a venomous outburst. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed, while the veins on his forehead protruded. He forcefully grabbed Nancy's by her arm and yelled. "Nancy! You need to make me another one!"

"No!" Nancy shouted with complete resolution.

"You..." Charles muttered while he gnashed his teeth in anger. He shook off Nancy's arm and strode out.

Nancy also wasn't in the best condition. She sat on the rotating chair, red in the face, and drank all the coffee from the desk.

'Why is this woman claiming that I have a lover?

Lilian?

How could this woman just misunderstand me like that?

Most importantly, she ruthlessly tore up

in his arms away. A contrite expression appeared on his face and he said, "Doris really is a virtuous woman. I've always known that."

Jay sat up straight and continued, "Libby, get me some wine."

"Of course," replied Libby with an enchanting smile.

Libby raised her eyebrows charmingly, picked up her goblet and clinked it with Jay's.

Since Jay walked in the room, Charles had remained silent.

With a dark, gloomy expression and a frown etched on his face, Charles smoked one cigarette after another.

Lilian politely sat beside him, looking very cautious about her movements.

Jay watched them, utterly confused. 'Has Charles really fallen in love with Lilian? Did he come all the way here at this time, just for this girl?'

"Charles, you're looking really happy tonight," Jay said as he passed a goblet into Charles' hand.

"Why do you say so? Are you blind?" Out of nowhere, Charles snapped at him.

"What's wrong? Are you quarrelling with Nancy?" asked Jay.

"Mr. Fang, let's drink!" Hiram immediately interjected them to change the topic.

He could tell that Charles wasn't in a good mood today. He already assumed that Charles wasn't in good terms with Miss Ning.

Jay was a smart man. How come he couldn't tell?
