Sweet Twins

Chapter 599 Possessed By The Devil

"My father was possessed by the devil. I don't know who is more important to him now. If he favors Nancy yet again, we will be sending him to the nursing home," Fannie said, talking under her breath.

"Fanny, stop being silly! Clearly, Clark is our easiest way to sustenance. We can always use him to blackmail Charles and Nancy. If we allow him to end up in the nursing home, Charles and Nancy will have no reason to provide us with money anymore. You really are silly… so silly," said Jill, in disgust.

"Mom, stop calling me silly! If you continue acting like this and calling me that, I swear, I will go mad. For the last time, I am not silly!" Fannie rolled her eyes at her mom.

"You…" Jill breathed out an exasperated sigh. "Alright. Fannie, you have been acting like this ever since you were little. You can't catch up with Nancy in any aspect."

"Are you really my mother?! Clark is now helping Nancy. Are you going to go out of your way to help her now, too? My life is so miserable! My parents don't even love me!"

"Of course not! There is no truth to that! Yes, Clark is not your biological father but why do you think I extorted money from Charles? It is all for you, my baby! All for you! I am not sure whether Caspar can get out of jail or not. Well, it won't matter anyway as long as you'll always have enough money to sustain yourself. Only then will I be able to leave you one day without a worry in my heart."

Even the cruel and merciless Jill had great maternal love for Fannie.

She always knew that Fannie was lazy and not smart enough. She had been squandering money since her childhood days. Without money, she'd be unable to move a single step, do anything, or keep living on.

Therefore, for her sake, Jill has always made it her life's mission to try her best to get as much money as she could from Charles while she was still living.

With that money, she would be confident that Fannie's future was secured.

"Mom, you are so kind. Are you aware of that?" Fannie felt so moved that she hugged her mother. "There really is no doubt that you are my mother!"

"Of course, dear!" she replied, with so much pride in her voice.

"We will have to hide the family register well, then! We got to make sure Clark doesn't have a way of finding it," Fannie screamed frantically as she was shoving the household register under one of her old pillows.

At this moment, the bedroom door opened and Clark came appeared on his wheelchair.

On the wheelchair were two cups of coffee.

Fannie hurriedly put down the household register and her pillow. She looked at Clark vigilantly and said, "Dad, it's already late. Why don't you go to bed yet? What are you doing here in our room?"

"I was feeling so psyched and couldn't fall asleep because I was thinking about the ten million that Charles is going to give us. Which is why I made these cups of coffee to please both of you. Please extend some money to me in the future to spend or something like that," Clark said with a smirk on his face.

"Oh well, you did not want us to give the family register to Charles just now. Why are you figuring it out in such a short time then?" Fannie said in a sarcastic tone.

"Ah! I think what you said makes perfect sense. The Fu family is a wealthy family, after all, and there is undoubtedly no one who can shake Charles' position in the corporate world. So I now think I may have been wrong at the time. My apologies!"

Clark agreed sincerely.

Fanny believed what he said. "You're right, Dad. Charles is rich and it will totally be a gain for Nancy if she marries him. Besides, I have heard that people should help others to achieve success, right?" She raised both her eyebrows repeatedly as if waiting for her dad to agree.

"And there is also an old adage that states it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage. We have to believe what we should believe, Dad," Jill added. "That's right. Now I think what our daughter said was reasonable. I was ignorant. I made these two of cups of coffee to apologize to you both,"

said Clark. Clark was a coward by nature and he would never had said such sweet words in front of Jill on a normal day.

It was the first time he had shown such affection, especially to his daughter. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"Oh, see. Your father finally came to his senses. This is great!" Jill said with a smile.

"That's right! We are a family and when we get the money from Charles, we will be spending it together! After all, we are the beneficiaries." Fannie felt so happy and excited.

"Yeah, definitely. Now, come on. Your favorite blue mountain coffee is very fragrant and it's also getting cold so you both better drink it now," Clark said as he handed the coffee to them.

"Coffee's good. I can still go to sleep easily even after I've had it. Give it to me, Dad!" Fannie was even swaying her body and feeling giddy while taking the cup from her father. She then turned to her mom and said, "Mom, if you think it will give you a hard time to fall asleep, don't drink it."

"I'm getting old and I don't get a good night's sleep as often as I did when I was younger. Jill rubbed her forehead and said, "Alas, there has been so many things for me to worry about recently. My quality of sleep is failing sharply!"

Clark got anxious and a bit agitated but he tried to hide it as much as he could. He wondered if his plan would be ruined if Jill wouldn't drink the coffee he made.

He must not let his plan go to waste.

He had to do everything he could to make Jill drink it.

"Honey, if you don't drink the coffee I made especially for you, it would mean that you don't forgive me. You know I am here to apologize to my daughter and my wife," he said, trying to get Jill to give in.

"Oh, since when did my father become so sweet? It's so strange, Mom. This rarely ever happens. Just drink the coffee for Dad's sake!" Fannie exclaimed, clearly amused at her father's behavior, not even knowing about his ulterior motives behind it.

"Ugh, stop it. For all you know, he just wants to impress us now so we'd keep serving him in the future." Jill just looked at him with disdain.

"Well, that is kind of right. My future happiness depends on you two. Now I know that Nancy is selfish, I can't count on her for the rest of my life. It was very unfortunate that in the past, I leaned on her and listened to what she had to say. I promise you I will never get back to doing that again!" Clark said with regret.

"Yeah, right! Mom, see? Dad has really been enlightened!" Fannie said with a warm smile trying to convince her mom.

What Fannie used to hate the most was Clark's partiality. In his eyes before, Nancy was always good at everything and Fannie seemed to be good for nothing.

But now that he realized that Fannie was actually great, how could Fannie not feel happy about it?

"All right! Since it does seem that you have finally come to your senses, I accept you apology!" Jill said while lazily taking the coffee from Clark's hand.

"Thank you, my dear wife!" Clark continued.

"Yay, this makes me really happy! I wish we do receive the money tomorrow. Take the coffee as wine. Let's have a toast to celebrate!" Fannie said while raising her cup and clinked it with Jill's.

"Drink it, Mom!" Fannie added.

"Right, okay. I'm thirsty now, anyway." Jill sat properly and drank her coffee.

Clark stared at Fanny as a bead of sweat ran down his temple.

He was worried that Fannie might not drink the coffee.
