"Don't say Maid Heather is just calling the police now; even if the police come, Eva will have to rush in!"

She exerted all her strength, rudely pushed Maid Heather aside, and then quickly ran inside.

"Nancy!"

As soon as she entered, she saw Nancy, Charlie Firth, and Henry looking at her. She no longer cared about her own status and walked over to kneel in front of Nancy with a "thud."

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Nancy, unable to bear her kneeling, jumped up from the sofa and ran to Charlie's side.

She seemed startled, pointing at Eva and panicking, "Get up, let's talk properly!"

Having come here, Eva was already prepared to lose face and be trampled by Nancy. Instead of getting up, she turned and knelt towards Charlie.

Charlie's face darkened, and he abruptly stood up, pulling Nancy and running towards Henry.

Henry, "..."

What is this?

You all can't bear it?

Do you think I can bear it?

Henry, speechless, rolled his eyes, immediately stood up, and dragged Eva, who was preparing to turn and kneel toward him, up from the ground.

"Eva, what are you doing? By coming to our house, do you want to embarrass us all?"

Tears welled up in Eva's eyes and instantly fell. She bent her knees, wanting to kneel again, but Henry held her shoulders, preventing her from kneeling.

"Sob... Nancy, I know, the words I said at the hospital hurt you. I'm kneeling now to ask for your forgiveness. Please, save my father-in-law!"

Nancy's resentment towards Eva instantly vanished. She knew that with Eva's status in Liverton, someone who could command wind and rain, kneeling to her meant she was truly desperate.

But letting go just like that made her feel somewhat reluctant.

After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly said, "Eva, I can consider performing the surgery for the old master, but you have to answer a few questions for me."

"Ah?"

Eva looked at Nancy in surprise, "Just... just a few questions?"

Nancy nodded, "Yes."

At this point, let alone a few questions, Eva was willing to answer even a hundred.

She raised her hand to wipe her face, eager to ask, "What do you want to ask?"

Nancy took Charlie's hand and sat down on the loveseat, signaling Henry to sit down with Eva, before she slowly began.

"First, why do you hate me so much?"

Even when asking for Nancy's help, Eva couldn't hide her disdain for Nancy, "Because you come from a humble background. To put it bluntly, you don't even know who your parents are. You're basically an orphan."

Nancy didn't argue, for Eva was stating the truth.

"If you were really my brother's daughter, I wouldn't oppose you being with Charlie. But you're not; you're just an adopted daughter. No matter how good your relationship is with my brother, the Lesser family won't acknowledge you! And Charlie, he must marry a woman of status and position!"

Nancy, puzzled, tilted her head, "Why?"

Eva's gaze suddenly shifted to Charlie, her eyes filled with the tenderness of a mother's love for her child.

"Because of past events, my husband has objections to Charlie. Actually, you should have sensed it too, Nancy. They are like fire and water. My husband wants to act against Charlie, who cannot withstand him with his own strength. So, I hope he can marry a woman who can support him not just in life but also in his career!"
