Chapter 173: Threat

“Nancy’s words caught me by surprise.”

“Nancy had clearly found my weakness''.

She let out a laugh and said, "I knew it. Jane isn't as important to you as Olivia is."

Jane and Olivia weren’t comparable, and I had never compared them.

Nancy was clearly trying to use my feelings for Olivia to manipulate me.”. “If she had said this before, I might have felt guilty toward the Gonzalez family.”

But now,

“Now that I knew the truth, I couldn’t feel any sympathy” for the Gonzalez family anymore.

"Nancy,“If you’re calling just to say nonsense I'm hanging up now."

When she heard I was about to hang up, Nancy panicked.

She quickly said to me, "Andrew, don't hang up. I want to see you."

"No."

“I rejected her immediately

After saying that, I was about to hang up.

Then Nancy made a threat.”

She said, "I want to see you. If you don't meet me, I'll burn everything Olivia left behind."

"Andrew, “These are some of the last things Olivia left behind.” You decide."

Nancy hung up after saying that.I had to admit, her words shook me..

Olivia was a woman I once loved, and she gave her life for me. Over these years, when I was in pain, thethe only comfort I had were the things Olivia left behind.
Nancy using these things to threaten me made me very angry.

To make sure Olivia's things wouldn't be burntby this crazy woman Nancy,I had no choice but to give in to her.”

I kept my expression steady and called Jamie over.

"Jamie, I have something I need to take care of. Could you arrange a car to take my wife back to The Lopez Mansion?"

Jamie glanced at me from the corner of his eye.

He said, "Andrew, You’re being suspicious. What could be so important that you'd let me take your wife home?"

“I didn’t have time to explain

"Enough. I really do have something urgent. You'd better take her yourself, and make sure nothing happens to my wife."

Seeing my serious expression, Jamie stopped joking around.

He said, "Alright, you go handle your business. I'll drive her home myself. Don't worry."

After getting Jamie's promise, I hurriedly left Jamie's shop and drove to The Gonzalez Villa.

Because I left in such a hurry,I wasn’t paying attention to my surroundings..

A moment later, when I was waiting at a red light, a black car passed by me. In the driver's seat was a woman with a cold, beautiful face.

“In hindsight,, that cold-looking woman seemed to be Michael's assistant Katherine.

But I was so focused on getting to The Gonzalez Villa that I didn’t dwell on it..

Twenty minutes later, I arrived at The Gonzalez Villa. As soon as I parked, I saw Nancy standing at the entrance to the main hall waiting for me.

When she saw me, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She said to me with some contempt, "Andrew, I knew you would come. After all, in your heart, even a single strand of Olivia's hair is very important."

Seeing Nancy like this, anger surged through me. The truth about Olivia's death made me feel completely twisted inside.

Before Nancy could react, I—someone who never liked using violence against women—grabbed Nancy by the throat without warning and pushed her body against the wall behind her.

The strong feeling of suffocation, combined with my cold, emotionless face, made made her struggle desperately against the wall.

She hadn’t expected someone as gentlemanly as me to turn violent.

She begged me while struggling to breathe, "Andrew, let me go."

Looking at Nancy's face, twisted in pain from lack of air, I said to her, "Nancy, you should know that what I hate most is being threatened."

"The people who threatened me before are all dead. Tell me, should I send you to see Olivia?"

A killing intent flashed in my eyes, and these harsh words scared Nancy so much that her body couldn't stop shaking.

Nancy's face got redder and redder, and she looked more and more distressed.

Just as I was about to tighten my grip even more, Thomas and Thea came out of the house. When they saw me almost strangling Nancy to death, Thea rushed over desperately.

"Andrew, let Nancy go."

Thomas didn't dare offend me, but seeing Nancy suffer, he felt bad too.

He stood beside me and tried to persuade me, "Andrew, let's talk this out. How can you use violence against a girl?"

"Let go quickly. If you keep choking her, someone's going to die, Andrew."

Thomas's words brought me back to my senses. I hated Nancy for threatening me with Olivia's belongings, but I didn't want to kill Nancy. After all, Jane had just gotten pregnant, and I didn't want to go to prison for a crime.

I released my hand from Nancy's throat, and Nancy could finally breathe.

Seeing Nancy tortured like this by me, Thea's venomous gaze naturally fell on me.

I didn't care at all.

After all, one day, I would make Thea understand that the harm she caused others would be returned to her in full.

Seeing that I had let Nancy go, Thomas smiled and tried to smooth things over with me.

"Andrew, please, come inside."

Then he snapped at Thea, saying, "Get Andrew some water. Andrew and I need to talk."

The three of them briefly exchanged glances, which I noticed but didn't care about.

Even though I was at The Gonzalez Villa right now, they wouldn't dare do anything to me, because the Gonzalez family was now like a half-dead ant that I could crush at any moment.

Thomas invited me into the main hall. Thea had a servant bring me a glass of water. Without thinking much, I picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.

After finishing the water, I asked Thomas directly, "So, what's this about? Using Olivia's belongings to trick me into coming here—what do you want?"
