Chapter 904
Chapter 904 Too Scared to Help
Nancy never had a friend before. She knew what friends were like and longed for one, but she never had one.
So when Bianca mentioned they were friends, she was touched.
"Really?"
"Yeah. We're friends, okay?"
So, it was okay to help friends, right?
Nancy never expected that someone as high and mighty as Bianca would be willing to be her friend.
"Okay. We're friends."
Finally, Nancy had her first friend, the most special one in her world.
Bianca nodded.
After dinner, Bianca suggested that Nancy stay here, but Nancy insisted she would get better soon. With that, Bianca had no choice but to take her back home.
Nancy said she would walk, but Bianca insisted. In the end, Nancy listened to Bianca. When Bianca returned home, she found a plump woman standing at her house door.
Seeing Bianca get out of the car, the plump woman approached and warmly said, "Hello, Ms. Sanders."
Bianca was silent. Although they rarely greeted each other, she still knew that this plump woman was her neighbor from two houses down, Sandy.
"Is there something you need?" Bianca asked with a frown.
Even though she accepted Nancy's presence now, it was obvious Bianca wasn't quite used to interacting with multiple people.
Sandy handed her a basket and said, "These are the freshly baked bread I made, and I also brought you some milk.'
"Huh? You don't have to!"
A neighbor suddenly giving her something made Bianca feel awkward.
But Sandy forced the basket into her hands. "Just take it!"
"Why are you giving me these things?"
Since Sandy insisted on giving them to Bianca, there must be a reason, right?
Sandy just smiled and said, "Because you're a good and brave person."
Bianca was speechless.
Little did she know that her lawsuit for Nancy had become the talk of the entire village!Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Her actions in suing Nancy's husband earned her the villagers' admiration and respect.
"Come on in."
Sandy was warm and had offered her gifts, so Bianca felt bad leaving her out in the cold wind. So, she invited Sandy into the house.
Once inside, Sandy took Bianca's hand and said, 'You did a really great job. You have no idea what that scumbag has done to the people in this village! It's not that we turned a blind eye to Nancy's situation. It's just that we're too scared to help.
Bianca frowned. "What did he do?"
Obviously, this information was also useful to her.
If she lost the lawsuit because of Malcolm's interference, these villagers would be the leverage for their uprising. As she talked about this, Sandy's tone was filled with helplessness. She said, "We used to feel sorry for that girl."
"Ever since that scumbag brought her here, her life has been like living in hell. We wanted to help her!
"But that scumbag isn't someone you want to mess with. Every time we helped that girl, he would retaliate against us. He's not only cruel to Nancy but also to the villagers around us.
"He poisoned and killed my family's cows!"
Even now, Sandy shuddered at the memory. Every household raised cows in this area, and the milk they produced was their livelihood. So, one could imagine the severity of such retaliation.
Bianca didn't ask any further, but Sandy continued, "He even burned down someone else's house."
"He burned down a house?!"
Bianca was stunned. How could someone dare to do such a thing?
"Didn't anyone report him to the police?" Bianca asked.
"We did. But after he got out of prison, he continued to cause trouble and even retaliated against those who reported him. So, after a while, we had no choice but to stay away from him."
This was truly frightening.
It was in line with what Nancy had told her. So when Bianca helped Nancy and even took action, it was unexpected by everyone. Although Bianca's own home was also vandalized, her response afterward caught them off guard.
This time, the scumbag had truly met his match!
"Not messing with him was the right decision," Bianca affirmed.
"Ms. Sanders."
"Yes?"
"After helping Nancy, could you also help us?"
"What...?" Bianca hesitated.
"Having a neighbor like that is really scary. Such a person should spend the rest of their life behind bars!"
Clearly, everyone in the village wished John would never come out of prison. However, that wasn't something Bianca could guarantee. She had only temporarily deterred him, but he still acted arrogantly behind her back. Bianca felt uneasy about Sandy's request. "I don't specialize in that area, so..."
"We all trust you."
This trust put a lot of pressure on her. After all, Bianca was just a divorce lawyer. Although she had turned over a new leaf, Bianca wasn't entirely confident.
But Sandy looked at her with hope in her eyes. "He has done so much harm in the past.'
Bianca was speechless.
What Sandy said was undeniably true.
For someone who could lay hands on their neighbors like that, it was terrifying enough to make people not dare to provoke him. So, even if Nancy divorced him and really left, could she truly escape the clutches of that scumbag?
As a neighbor, there wouldn't be any good days ahead either.
Thinking about this, Blanca couldn't help but worry about Nancy's future. Encountering someone like him was truly exasperating. Sandy said a lot more, each revelation shocking Bianca more than the last.
Even after Sandy left, Bianca still couldn't come to her senses. She couldn't believe there could be such a demon in the world.
That night, Bianca couldn't sleep because of Sandy's words. It was already midnight, and her agitation only grew
worse.
Insomnia was truly agonizing, and she didn't like the feeling.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang urgently.
Already agitated, Bianca checked the clock on her bedside table and felt even more frazzled! Who could be
coming to her at this hour?!
It was either Malcolm or Nancy.
Nancy wouldn't come at this time, so it had to be Malcolm.
Bianca didn't feel like dealing with him, and just the thought of him frustrated her. But if she ignored him, he
might force his way in!
In the end, Bianca reluctantly got up to open the door. A chill wind rushed in as soon as she opened it, making her shiver involuntarily.
However, when she saw who was outside the door, Bianca's heart tightened even more.
The man looked dignified and elegant in his black coat, and the scent of his crisp cologne wrinkled her brows.
Bianca never expected it to be Zane.
She instinctively wanted to close the door. But before she could react, someone grabbed her wrist.
Without waiting for her response, she was pulled into Zane's arms.
