Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 1723 - 241: Nod If You Understand

That night, Crystal had to share a bed with Nancy and Clark. Before going to bed, though, she decided to have a bath. When she was finished, she went into the adjoining room to get the hairdryer. Nancy had been reading a bedtime story to Clark, and he had just fallen asleep.

As Crystal entered the room, someone knocked on the door, and she rushed over to open it before the noise woke the baby. She thought that the intrusion was from one of the servants, so she was surprised to find Michelle standing in the hallway. She had an absent look on her face, and she was wearing a black lace nightgown. The nightgown was translucent, and her private parts could vaguely be seen, giving her a look that was sexy and bold.

"What's wrong?" Crystal asked.

Michelle pouted and said, "I'm looking for Miss Carter."

Crystal stepped aside so that Michelle could see Nancy, and then she went back to the bathroom to dry her hair.

Michele forced herself to smile and said, "Can I talk to you for a minute?"

Nancy sighed and said, "Not tonight. I'm sorry, but I am going to go to sleep now." As she spoke, she laid down. She had nothing to say to Michelle, and she did not want to hear anything that Michelle might have to say either. But, unfortunately, Michelle would not be put off that easily. Instead of leaving as expected, she swaggered in.

Nancy was afraid that Michelle would wake Clark up, so she got up and sat down on the sofa. "It's late," she whispered. "What do you want?"

Michelle sat down beside her, smiled, and said, "You and your friend caught me off guard today, but do you actually think that Paul will change his mind and take you back?"

Nancy shook her head. "I have no interest in Paul."

"Good!" Michelle snorted and said, "I suggest you get control over your heart and that hungry hole between your legs. Paul is mine - now and forever!"

Nancy's ire began to rise, and she took a couple of deep breaths to calm herself down. "Did you forget that I divorced him?" she asked. "He is a part of my past now. I wish you both a happy life. Now, can you get out of my room?"

Michelle glared at Nancy and said, "If you have no interest in him, why are you here?"

"I am here for Clark," Nancy replied. "I am glad I left Paul. He is bad news, and I do not want anything from him. I just want my son!"

Michelle smirked and said, "I don't trust you. So you must want to use the kid to get to Paul?"

"Believe what you want. Obviously, I cannot change your mind. Regardless, Clark is asleep. I don't want to wake him up, so please leave."

Michelle looked at Clark. "He is a very lovely child, isn't he?" A shark-like Cheshire's grin appeared on her face, and she said, "It would be a shame if anything happened to him."

The color drained from Nancy's face, and she stepped between Michelle and Clark. "I won't let you bully my child anymore!"

"Do you know what I hate most? I hate people who appear to be innocent and harmless, especially children!"

"Then you should hate yourself most of all!" Nancy hissed. "You pretend to be gentle and harmless, but God alone knows all the evil that you have done!"

Michelle's face turned red from anger, and she revealed a set of black lace undergarments. "Are these yours?"

Nancy was dumbfounded. She had not realized that Michelle had her underwear with her.

Michelle threw the undergarments in Nancy's face and said, "I found these under Paul's bed."

"Those could belong to anyone..."

"But they don't." Michelle smirked and said, "You are a little slut, and they belong to you. You said that I am a fake, but who is the real pretender here? The minute you slept with Paul, your true colors were revealed."

Nancy shook her head. "We both know that's bullshit. I readily admit that I had sex with Paul, but he assaulted me."

"I don't believe you." Michelle stood up so that she could look down on Nancy. "You divorced Paul, broke his heart, and now that he's found happiness with me, you are trying to step between us."

"That is a joke." Nancy smiled, but her grin was cold, and it did not reach her eyes. "It was you who forced your way into my relationship with Paul. You are the slut, not me."

"Paul and I have known each other since childhood. Are you sure that I'm a third party?"

"I'm positive." Nancy chuckled and said, "Then why did he marry me? Was it because you abandoned him and ran away with another man?" She was not sure if this was the truth, but it was a rumor that she had heard from one of the servants, and it sounded legitimate to her.

Michelle opened her mouth to defend herself against these accusations, but before she could speak, Nancy cut her off.

"None of that matters, though, does it?" Nancy continued, "Because I am not interested in Paul. I am here for Clark!"

"Where did you find the courage to talk so boldly?" Michelle asked. "Now that your friend is here, do you think that you are safe? If so, I have got some news for you!" Before Nancy could reply, Michelle slapped her twice across the face, and as her hand swung through the air, she sneered. "You are one weak bitch. And to think, you thought you could face me and come out victorious. That is a joke.".

Nancy made a fist, and she tried to punch Michelle, but Michelle caught her wrist and laughed.

"Please," Nancy whined. "Let me go."

Michelle applied pressure to Nancy's arm and jeered. "If you dare to hit me, I can't guarantee your son's safety. After all, you know my capability. Nod if you understand."

Nancy nodded obediently.
