When She Turns Her Back Chapter 812
Rodney said, "I don't care who you ask. You need to get me this money. What, you're just going to watch them destroy me?"Nancy couldn't find the words. "You..."Rodney pressed on. "Nancy, we're in this together. If you want to marry Christian, you need to help me with this. Otherwise, what is he going to think of you?"Let me cover the money first. When my friend pays me back, you can return it to Christian."Nancy had nothing to say to that. She left the coffee shop without saying another word.Outside, heavy snow fell, the wind cutting like knives across her face. Tears froze on her cheeks as she walked through the streets, moving mechanically through the storm.In all her years with Christian, she'd never dared ask him for anything. He gave what he wanted to give, and she accepted it. That was how their arrangement worked.But now Rodney expected her to ask for 200 million dollars. How could she possibly bring up such an enormous sum?She couldn't ask Christian for this mon

At noon, Nancy arrived at the address Rodney had sent. It was a coffee shop.The moment she sat, Rodney couldn't hold back his frustration. "I called you a while ago. Why are you only getting here now?"His voice was clearly anxious, his expression suggesting that something serious had happened.But being scolded for no reason put Nancy in a foul mood. She shot back, "I had to go to campus. I'm not free every second of the day."Rodney didn't bother arguing with Nancy. He got straight to the point. "Lend me some money."Nancy frowned. "You're asking me for money out of nowhere? What for?"Rodney ran a financial company, and both Christian's and Julian's cash flows went through his company accounts.Those amounts ranged from hundreds of millions to billions of dollars. The interest alone was enough to sustain Rodney's company, and he had plenty of room for profit on top of that.His asking her for money had to be a joke.Rodney looked panicked, his face drained of color. "I bor

Christian withdrew his gaze. He didn't respond to Nancy's concern in any detail, simply saying, "I'm fine."Nancy stiffened slightly but didn't press further. "Alright."After a moment of silence, Nancy added, "I'll go upstairs and wake Yvonne then."Christian's tone was indifferent, and he didn't even look up. "Okay."As Nancy headed upstairs, a sense of disappointment crept into her heart despite herself. Despite all her careful attention to her appearance, Christian still hadn't noticed.She was beautiful, with a great figure and the perfect height of five feet and seven inches. Although she weighed barely a hundred pounds, she had curves in all the right places. She was the kind of woman countless women envied.Yet even with all that, Christian seemed not to see her at all.But he used to bring her to meet friends and attend parties with him. People in their social circle had assumed that she was his woman.In reality, though, their relationship had never progressed beyond

Quentin's voice reached her ears through the phone, and even though Talia wasn't physically there with him, her face burned red.Her heart seized, and the next moment she scolded him angrily, "Quentin, have you no shame?"Quentin made no attempt to hide anything from the people in the conference room, and Talia's reprimand wasn't quiet either, so everyone heard their flirting.The meeting stopped, though the staff below began silently gossiping among themselves.No one spoke aloud, but curious glances bounced around the table.Quentin leaned back in his chair, twirling his pen like a baton. He smiled radiantly at Talia's increasingly flushed face on the screen, his lips curving upward.Just as he was about to say something, Talia hung up on him.Hearing the dial tone, Quentin showed no embarrassment whatsoever. He turned to scan the others around the conference table, then explained without missing a beat, "Women can be playful and throw little tantrums. It's perfectly normal."

With a man in the room, Talia couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. She tossed and turned, growing more restless."Quentin." After hesitating for a moment, she called out softly, testing.Quentin didn't respond, so she didn't call out again. She turned to look at him. He lay on the couch with the blanket covering only half his body.The snow outside seemed heavier, and the room felt somewhat cold. Worried Quentin might catch a cold, Talia pushed herself up. She carefully made her way to the couch with her crutch and pulled the blanket over him properly.Once she'd tucked him in, she gazed down at his face. He was handsome, his hair falling messily across his forehead.Staring at his face, she found herself unable to resist the urge to touch his cheek. The moment the thought crossed her mind, she acted on it.Her warm hand settled on Quentin's face as she traced his features.When she pulled her hand back, she suddenly lowered her voice and murmured, "But how could I

Quentin sat on the bed with his legs stretched out, while Talia perched sideways across his lap. His arm rested naturally around her waist, her legs dangling off the edge.Careful not to hurt her injured leg, Quentin kept his movements gentle. He leaned in close and buried his face against her neck, inhaling deeply before murmuring in an intoxicated tone, "Sweetie, you smell so good."Talia tried to shift away, but she had already become prey in his hands. With the slightest effort, he easily pulled her back.She frowned at him. "Quentin, put me down."Quentin held her even tighter. "I've been drinking, but I'm not drunk. What, are you afraid I can't hold you?"Talia frowned. "Quentin, you know that's not what I mean."He chose to ignore that too. "Don't worry. I've got enough strength to hold you."Talia knew that he was being deliberately obtuse, but there was nothing she could do except let him hold her.Sitting on his lap, she didn't dare move around. After a moment of sile

Yvonne asked Christian, "Do you think I'll grow up to be as pretty as Nancy, Daddy?"Christian replied, "You'll have to wait until you've grown up to find out, then, Yvonne."A chorus of chatter and laughter drifted from the staircase. Talia looked up to see Nancy and Christian, each with a hand i

"It's not that he's afraid we'll steal her away. He clearly just doesn't want to introduce her to us.""Exactly. Mr. Henderson always likes to keep things close to the chest."The people who came over all had business dealings with Quentin, so a bit of joking wasn't out of line. But Quentin took t
