CHAPTER 380: CHAPTER 380: I’M BEGGING YOU, I’M BEGGING YOU

"I’m really tired, I just want to rest."

Nancy Allen tried to soften her tone, not wanting to provoke Julius Shaw, she wanted to discuss with Julius Shaw properly.

But it was clearly ineffective. Julius Shaw doesn’t care whether you argue with him or talk nicely; he only does what he wants to do.

However, Nancy knew if she went to eat at this time, she would definitely throw up, unable to control it at all.

If she vomited again, Godfery Shaw would definitely make things difficult for Sophie Allen.

So she said she was tired and immediately turned around to go upstairs to rest.

Exhaustion and weakness in her body caused Nancy to drift into sleep once she lay down.

She slept through dinner and until the night.

When Nancy woke up, it was already eight o’clock at night, the sky had darkened, and she was alone in the room, Julius Shaw and Sophie Allen were not around.

After a nap, Nancy’s mental state improved a lot. Remembering that Julius Shaw had said she must not skip dinner, Nancy forced herself to get up and go out.

At the second-floor stairway, Nancy found that it was quiet downstairs.

Julius Shaw was sitting on the sofa in the living room, leisurely playing with his phone.

Nancy looked around but didn’t see Sophie Allen.

Sophie Allen was a joyful and lively person. These days in Imperial Garden, Sophie Allen’s laughter was always heard, which made the whole Imperial Garden more lively. This sudden quietness seemed strange to Nancy.

Nancy turned to Sophie Allen’s room and found it was quiet and empty.

Not knowing what she was thinking, Nancy’s expression changed slightly, she hurried downstairs, her frail body almost running to Julius Shaw, urgently asking, "Where’s Sophie Allen, where did you send Sophie Allen?"

Nancy harbored a sliver of hope in her heart, wishing Julius Shaw had enough conscience to send Sophie Allen back to Ink Manor.

However, the words Julius Shaw spoke made Nancy’s already cold heart turn completely icy.

"Sophie Allen said she wanted to go to the tea garden to pick two pounds of tea for her grandfather, so I let her go herself, she hasn’t come back yet!"

Nancy finally couldn’t hold back anymore, her tone trembling as she said, "You... it’s so late, it’s already dark, you let a child of a few years old pick tea outside?"

Julius Shaw casually said, "What does it matter, the tea garden is guarded, and there are street lights at night."

"You... you..."

Nancy was so angry that she couldn’t speak.

She turned around, wanting to go outside, she wanted to find Sophie Allen, such a small child outside in the tea garden when it’s already dark, she couldn’t bear to imagine what might happen.

Would she encounter danger? Would she be afraid?

Tyrant Julius Shaw, how could he do such a thing?

However, after taking two steps, Julius Shaw grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

Julius Shaw’s gaze was gloomy, "Where does Nancy Allen intend to go at such a late hour? It’s not safe outside."

Nancy finally erupted, screaming with a heart-wrenching cry, "You know it’s not safe at such a late hour? If you know it’s not safe, why don’t you quickly bring Sophie Allen back? If anything happens to her, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life!"

Seeing Nancy’s anger and excitement, Julius Shaw’s face grew increasingly unsightly.

He sneered with a sickly obsession, "It doesn’t matter if Nancy Allen doesn’t forgive me, anyway, you already hate me, might as well hate me a little more, it’s good to be able to hate me, at least you’ll never forget me."

Nancy finally collapsed.

If anything happened to Sophie Allen, she couldn’t forgive herself.

Nancy fell to her knees with a thud, tears streaming down uncontrollably, continuously pleading, "I’m sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong, I won’t resist anymore, I’ll do whatever you say, please let me bring Sophie Allen back, please let me bring her back!"

Julius Shaw, who had always been full of confidence and control, finally changed his expression at this moment.

He abruptly pulled Nancy up, harshly saying, "What are you doing? Who told you to kneel to me?"

Nancy didn’t resist when being pulled up, clinging to Julius Shaw’s clothes, repeatedly pleading, "I beg you, I beg you."

Julius Shaw suddenly felt a pang in his heart.

When had Nancy Allen ever been so humble?

Five years ago, while taking revenge against the Wright family, forcing the Wright family to ruin, she was crazy and resolute.

Five years ago, when Amos Shaw schemed against her, narrowly escaping death, she was composed and indifferent.

No matter what happened, Nancy Allen always calmly observed everything, maintaining her pride.

How did she suddenly become so humble and beg him with such words?

Julius Shaw’s mind, full of obsession, felt that something seemed off.

His tone became less forceful, as if seeking a way out, awkwardly saying, "I don’t want to make things difficult for Sophie Allen either, as long as you eat properly, I won’t do anything to her."

Upon hearing these words, Nancy directly broke free from Julius Shaw’s grasp and ran towards the dining area.

There were still many dishes on the table kept warm by heated pads.

Nancy directly picked up a bowl of rice and began eating voraciously, nausea causing tears to spill reflexively from her eyes, but she didn’t stop, continuously shoving food into her mouth.

Julius Shaw hadn’t expected Nancy to react this way, he quickly caught up and snatched the bowl from Nancy’s hand.

He shouted in anger, "What are you doing?"

But Nancy picked up another dish, grabbed chopsticks, and stuffed it into her mouth, speaking slurringly, "I’m eating! I’m eating properly, I’m not resisting anymore, I’ll follow your orders."

The anxiety and fear inside her, combined with nausea, provoked tears to fall from Nancy’s eyes, landing in the bowl as she stuffed food into her mouth.

Julius Shaw was truly panicking.

He snatched away Nancy’s food again, and before she could reach for it, he embraced Nancy, restraining her hands.

"Stop eating, I’ll take you to find her now, Sophie Allen," Julius Shaw said quickly.

This was the first time the obsessed and obstinate Julius Shaw had compromised.

Because he felt something was wrong, Nancy’s condition made him uneasy.

Nancy heard Julius Shaw say he would take her out to find Sophie Allen, and she finally stopped thinking about continuing to eat, turning around and couldn’t help but vomit heavily into the trash can.

After vomiting, she noticed Julius Shaw’s face had an ugly expression.

Nancy’s face turned pale as if she was extremely frightened, "I didn’t do it on purpose, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have vomited, I really didn’t mean it."

Julius Shaw held a stern face, helped Nancy rinse her mouth and clean up, without saying anything, took Nancy to the tea garden.

The tea garden was lit, not entirely dark amidst the night.

Nancy practically stumbled as she ran over.

She saw Sophie Allen still picking tea in the tea garden.

Sophie Allen’s little face had a red scratch mark from something.

Holding a wooden basket, she raised it upon seeing Nancy, smiling brightly and shouting, "Mommy, why are you here? Look, the tea leaves I picked for granddad, once granddad and I take them back, he’ll surely be very happy."

Nancy saw Sophie Allen with her own eyes, her taut nerves relaxed, and she could no longer hold on, directly collapsing.

Julius Shaw caught Nancy, his heartbeat almost stopping as he muttered, "Nancy, what’s wrong? I already took you to find her."
