When Family Became a Place I Couldn’t Return To novel Chapter 133

A sharp crash cut Rudy off.

Nancy had snatched a glass and thrown it at the wall right beside him.

Rudy didn’t even move. Shards of glass flew up and one left a thin scratch on the back of his hand.

“I told you. Don’t bring up that name in front of me.”

Rudy lowered his head and rubbed his nose, looking defeated. “Nancy, do I really mean nothing to you?”

“I’ll help you with whatever you want to do. No one else cares more than I do.”

“Go home,” Nancy replied coldly. “We were always just using each other.”

“I don’t care if you use me. You know how I feel about you. I would never take advantage of you. Nelly will.”

Rudy’s voice grew desperate. He placed his hands on Nancy’s shoulders, hoping she would look at him even for a second.

He’d spent years by her side. How could he lose to Nelly’s sweet talk?

“I’m fine with being used. At least this way, I don’t have to watch the Watson family’s faces.”

Nancy stared right at Rudy, her eyes icy and heartless.

But that was what drove Rudy crazy. No matter what he did, no matter how far he went for her, she never looked twice. She was always above it all, untouchable, ready to walk away at any moment.

That feeling, being so close but never able to hold on, made him addicted.

“You could be with me. You wouldn’t have to care about the Watson family, either.”

“Maybe that was true before. But now that Nelly’s back, who knows what’s going to happen?”

Nancy’s words were brutally honest.

Rudy hated it, but he couldn’t argue.

No matter how nice Britney and Nicholas were, the inheritance was never really going to end up with Britney.

“But it can’t be Nelly, either! She doesn’t deserve it!”

Just thinking about Nelly made Rudy’s veins bulge in anger. His voice shook. “She defends a loser like Jonah. The Watson family will never accept her because of that!”

A sharp slap echoed in the room.

Nancy had hit Rudy so hard his face snapped to the side.

She watched him, her face calm and cold. “I said, don’t mention him.”

“Nancy…”

Rudy stared at her, heartbroken. “What do you really want?”

A billion-dollar inheritance might be tempting, but for Nancy, who was spoiled, proud, never lacking for anything, it didn’t really matter.

Besides, helping Nelly was really just helping Felix. Nancy had to know that.

Nancy pushed Rudy away, but suddenly he lost it. He grabbed her and pinned her against the wall, ignoring her nails digging into his skin and her fists pounding against him.

“Just admit it. You’re still thinking about Jonah, aren’t you?”
