Nancy took a deep breath and patted Sarah's shoulder, saying, "I'm afraid | can't treat you to lunch today. Maybe
tonight or tomorrow." "It's okay."
Sarah didn't necessarily want to take advantage of Nancy. She just wanted to spend twith her.
"Go ahead. You probably have to go to the professor's place this afternoon. We won't eat together tonight."
Nancy waved goodbye to Sarah and her face immediately turned serious. She walked towards the Ferrari with
determination.
As she approached, a woman opened the car door from inside and smiled warmly, "Nan, get in. Let's have a
talk."
Nancy glanced at her indifferently and stood at the door. "Mom, just say it here."

The woman was Nancy's biological mother, Lily. In order to continue being Mrs. Mirren and enjoy the wealthy life
of the Mirren Family, she had to put on a fake smile and face the daughter she once despised.
Lily awkwardly laughed and looked around. She put on a gentle smile and said, "Nan, this is the school gate, and
there are a lot of students coming and going. You wouldn't want them to overhear our conversation, right?"
Indeed, there were countless people there, especially since it was tfor school to let out.
Nancy bit her lip forcefully. Although reluctant, she bent down and got into the car.
Lily was extremely happy and said to the driver, "Let's go to Jordelton Restaurant. | want to take my daughter to
eat something delicious."
If this was in the past, no, more precisely, if it was a month ago, when Lily said something like this, Nancy would
be moved to tears.
Ever since she was young, she had completely lost maternal love. In her heart, she longed for maternal love
more than anyone else.
Before, even though Lily didn't treat her as well as she treated Vivian, as long as Lily was even slightly kind to
her, Nancy would love her like a normal daughter.
But now, when Lily said she was her daughter, Nancy felt an icy chill in her heart.
Lily knew very well that Nancy didn't like her, and she didn't like Nancy either. But right now, she had no choice
but to treat Nancy well.
"Nan..."
She gently held Nancy's hand, turned her head to look at Nancy's beautiful profile, and sighed emotionally;
"After | remarried, we didn't have much ttogether and | didn't take good care of you. | feel guilty about it.

with me?"
Nancy immediately withdrew her hand and turned to glare at Lily. "My dad didn't die! He just disappeared! And
why are you so happy? Lily, even though you've remarried now, you were once with my dad. Don't you think
you're belittling your own past and disrespecting my dad?"
Her eyes welled up with visible anger as if it was about to burst out. Lily's heart throbbed with fear.
She didn't expect Nancy to have such a strong reaction. It was not the tto reason with her, and she had to
calm Nancy down first. "Alright, alright."
Lily immediately bit her lip. "I said it
wrong, but Nan, what | said is true. Whether your father disappeared or died, you're on your own now, and you
have to live with your family. Cto live withand letmake it up to you, okay?"
