To verify if the sick laughter in Charlie Wilson's torture video belonged to Nancy, Maeve decided to take the initiative and meet the woman.
As it turned out, before she could even reach out, Nancy contacted her first.
She chose the location: an upscale, highly exclusive cafe with private VIP rooms.
"Why did you bring me to a place like this?" Nancy demanded.
Private rooms in cafes weren't exactly common.
She didn't mention that the cafe was owned by Naomi Lowell.
The very room they were sitting in was Naomi's personal sanctuary.
"Where we meet doesn't matter. What matters is what you want to talk about."
Honestly, she already knew exactly what the woman was going to say.
Right on cue, Nancy validated her suspicions.
"I want you to be smart about this. Leave Andres voluntarily."
To show she meant business, Nancy slid a pre-written check across the table.
"Five million dollars. More than enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life."
Staring at the amount, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Are you completely out of touch with the economy?"
"Five million dollars to live comfortably for the rest of my life? Are you kidding me?"
"Do you know how much a square foot of real estate costs in downtown Aethelburg?"
"With five million, I could barely afford a guest bedroom in a premium mansion."
Nancy scoffed coldly.
"Not everyone is entitled to live in a premium mansion."
She matched her smirk.
"True, not everyone can afford it. But as long as I stay with Andres, I get to live in one every single day."
Nancy lifted her chin, her face twisting with disdain.
"Does Andres know you're this much of a gold digger?"
She dropped a sugar cube into her coffee and slowly stirred it with her spoon.
