Win Back the Heiress 203

Chapter 203 Bombshell 

Nancy suddenly realized that she didn’t know much about Martha’s family. After all, Martha never spoke of them. 

Martha’s eyes shimmered with unshed tears as she looked at Nancy. “My family? There’s nothing left to talk about now. Back then, I ran away for love, insisting on being with him. My parents were so furious that they cut me off completely. 

“I was convinced that if George proved himself, they’d see his worth. I worked hard alongside him, helping him expand the business. Sure enough, the company reached a whole new level. I went back home, wanting to tell my parents the news, only to find out that they had already passed away.” 

Her voice broke. Tears finally spilled over. Nancy hurried to hand her a handkerchief. 

“My parents died of illness,” Martha continued. “But my older brother told me they had wanted to see me one last time before the end. At the time, I was buried in work overseas, chasing success day 

and night, such that I never even knew they were sick. 

“The family resented me for it. My brother threw me out, and I couldn’t bring myself to return. 

“Decades passed, and I never saw them again. When I heard the family was struggling, I secretly tried to send them money. But once they found out, they flat–out refused it. They’d rather the family decline than accept my help. That’s how deeply they hated me.‘ 

Nancy’s chest tightened as she watched Martha weep. “Grandma, I believe they still love you. Your parents‘ deaths weren’t your fault.” 

“I keep telling myself that.” Martha sighed. “But now, with my health failing, I can’t travel to see them. Would you go in my place, Nancy? Just tell me how they’re doing. That’s all I want. 

“Of course, Grandma. Give me the address,” Nancy promised. 

Martha immediately sent her the address. “Here’s where they live now. And here’s everyone’s details.” 

The information was extremely thorough. It showed just how much Martha still cared. 

Nancy was going through the list when the door suddenly burst open. 

Emma stormed in and grabbed Nancy’s arm. “Nancy, you have to help Wendy!” 

Nancy only shook her off. Consequently, Emma stumbled and fell to the floor. Edward and Raine rushed in behind her, quickly pulling her back to her feet. 

“Nancy, how could you treat Aunt Emma like this? She’s still your elder!” Raine scolded. 

Edward’s face darkened. “Typical country bumpkins. They’ve no class at all.”

Nancy calmly wiped her hands. “Manners are for people who deserve them. Some people simply 

don’t.” 

“Nancy!” Emma snapped through gritted teeth. “What will it take for you to help your cousin? She’s already depressed as it is. Aren’t you afraid she’ll kill herself?” 

“Wendy deliberately hurt Hillary. Everyone knows the truth now. There’s nothing I can do.” Nancy’s tone was ice cold. 

“You’re Hillary’s best friend! There’s no way you can’t help her! Just admit that you want something in return,” Emma shouted. 

“Enough!” 

Martha threw a cup to the ground. The sharp crack silenced the room. 

Martha firmly said, “Wendy can still live comfortably for the rest of her life on the Lidell Group’s dividends, even if she never works again. Nancy’s return is a blessing to this family! 

“Our company will only grow stronger under her leadership. From now on, you will treat her with respect!” 

Her declaration was a bombshell piece of news to everyone present.
