Chapter 27 Identity Revealed 11/2 Nancy subtly withdrew her hand and looked at Martha . " Grandma . " " Hmm , sit down , " Martha said , still elegant in a Francelle - style vintage gown , with an emerald bracelet glinting on her wrist . Nancy sat beside Martha . Across from them , Regina and Andrew watched Nancy intently , but Nancy didn't bother greeting them and only spoke to Martha . A loud bang echoed in the air at once . Fergus ' face twisted with anger . " Nancy , are you blind ? Your parents are right here ! Can't you even say hello ? You have no manners . " Nancy met his fury without flinching . " If we're talking about manners , I doubt anyone beats you . Grandma hasn't said a word yet , so why are you talking ? " " You ... " Before Fergus could retort , Martha sharply interrupted , " Fergus , be quiet ! " Seeing the disappointment in her eyes , Regina immediately struck Fergus ' arm . " Fergus , how can you talk to your sister like that ? " Fergus clenched his teeth and fell silent , but his eyes burned with resentment . Raine glanced at Nancy . " Nancy , I'm really sorry . Fergus just got carried away because he cares deeply about our parents . Please don't be mad at him . " Nancy didn't even look at Raine . Instead , she turned to Martha . " Grandma , what did you ask me here for ? " Though usually commanding , Martha spoke gently to Nancy . " It's about something , but we'll discuss it after the meal . " " Okay . " During the meal , Martha and Nancy did most of the talking . Meanwhile , Fergus dotingly placed food on Raine's plate , completely ignoring Nancy . " Raine , Blossom Skincare has already sold over ten million , " Fergus said , looking at the news on his phone with a laugh . " Their last sales were only five million . Thanks to you , their sales have doubled . " " They do have a good product , " Raine replied with a smile . Fergus glanced at Nancy , his tone laced with disdain . " Some companies only manage a little over eight million in sales . It's funny , especially since they hired an A - list celebrity ! " " What are you two talking about ? " Martha asked , frowning . Fergus quickly explained , " Grandma , Nancy's company originally planned to hire Raine as their spokesperson , but Nancy canceled the contract and went with someone else . It's a shame , as now their sales are getting crushed by the brand Raine represents . " Raine responded softly , " That has nothing to do with me . Blossom Skincare is simply popular . " " If that's true , then what's there to brag about ? " Martha questioned bluntly . Raine's and Fergus ' expressions shifted subtly . After a brief moment , Raine finally said , " Grandma's right . It's nothing to brag about . " But her fingernails dug deeply into her palms . That old woman was so clearly biased toward Nancy . What was so special about Nancy ? Apart from being family , she didn't measure up in any other way . Martha always took Nancy's side . Was blood relation really that important ? Fergus simmered with anger as well , but he dared not speak in front of Martha . Martha saw straight through them and felt a flash of irritation . She turned to Nancy . " Nancy , I asked you to come today because I have something for you . " With that , she handed Nancy , an envelope . Nancy opened it , her eyes widening in shock at what she saw . " Grandma , this is far too generous , " Nancy protested , waving her hand . " You're my granddaughter . You deserve every bit of it , " Martha replied firmly , Unable to refuse , Nancy reluctantly accepted the envelope . She glanced up to find the four Lidells across the table watching her closely . Nancy quickly lowered her gaze , an unreadable look flickering in her eyes . After dinner , Martha rose and said her goodbyes to Nancy . The four Lidells lingered nearby , and as soon as Martha disappeared from view , Andrew turned to Nancy and asked , " Nancy , how have things been for you out there ? " " Pretty good , " Nancy replied . " Why don't you come back home ? " Andrew's expression softened , displaying a rare kindness . " We're worried about you , living all alone . Our home is big Chapter 27 Identity Revealed enough , and we'll make it worth your while if you come back . What do you say ? " Nancy narrowed her eyes , studying his face carefully . After a moment , she said , " I'll think about it . " 2/2 Seeing that gentle persuasion wasn't working , Andrew decided to be more direct . " Alright , how about this ? On your 20th birthday , a month from now , I'll throw a welcome banquet and officially announce to everyone that you're my daughter . You can move back then . How does that sound ? " Raine's expression shifted dramatically at his words .
