If those self-talk recordings that Nancy had recorded with a listening device were really exposed⦠the Schultz family might take advantage of it to appeal Clarissaâs case again, and⦠what worried her the most was that it might have a negative impact on Mick.
âIf you have something to say, why not say it directly on the phone!â Nancy said.
âNo, I want to meet in person. After all, some things are more sincere when discussed face to face,â
Irene said.
âOkay, where do you want to meet?â Nancy said.
She left Emerald City by train at 7 pm, and the time she arranged to meet Irene was 3 pm in the afternoon.
So after the appointment was made, she rushed to the train station, which should have been enough time-wise!
Nancy arrived on time at the small park where she arranged to meet Irene at 3 pm.
However, when Nancy saw Irene, she noticed that Irene had many scratches on her face, and her overall mental state was completely different from before, haggard and thin.
What happened to Irene after she resigned?
Nancy secretly speculated.
Because of her resignation, she hardly went to the hotel to inquire about it, and naturally did not know about Ireneâs drugging and embarrassing behavior.
âLetâs take a walk. This place is quite close to where I live. If you agree to my request, I can give you the original recordings, and I wonât keep any backups on my end,â Irene said.
âHow can I trust you?â Nancy asked seriously.
Irene smirked, âYou donât seem to have any other choice but to trust me. Otherwise, Iâll make the recordings public, and youâll be done for. At most, Iâll be detained for a few days for the crime of eavesdropping.â
Nancy remained silent. The initiative was indeed on Ireneâs side.
âWe donât need to take a walk. I just want to know what your request is. I have to catch a train at 7 pm today,â Nancy said.
âWe still have a few hours. Thatâs enough,â Irene said, then walked towards the park exit on her own.
Nancy could only follow her.
Outside the park was a dilapidated street, with many potholes on the ground.
This was considered the âslumsâ of Emerald City, where the poorest people lived.
âItâs dirty and messy here,â Irene suddenly spoke up. âBut Iâve been living here for over ten years. Do you know what kind of mentality I have to live here?â
âYou can change your life by yourself. If you really want to improve your life, you can work hard and naturally move away from here,â Nancy said.
âItâs easy for you to say. If you had been the Reed familyâs young lady, enjoying such glory and wealth, could you still say itâs all up to yourself?â Irene said fiercely. âIf you really did it all by yourself, you wouldnât have used Mick!â
Nancy smiled self-deprecatingly. On this point, she really had nothing to say to the other party.
Along the way, Irene kept telling Nancy about her time in the Reed family, where she was respected as a young lady and could go in and out with Mick every day.
Clothes, food, toys anything she wanted, she would have.
That is a life that many people envy.
