Sweet Twins novel Chapter 531

As if she had cried the whole day, Doris' eyes were red and puffy.

How could she not be downhearted? Her relationship with Jay got better, but something unexpected happened to Nancy.

Life was really unpredictable.

"Who did this to Nancy? She is an optimistic and kind-hearted woman. She has never been an enemy of anyone. Who would be so vicious to take her away?" It was impossible for Doris to accept the news she had read online which said that Nancy was burned to death. Doris didn't believe that a good person like Nancy would suffer such fate. Everyone had evacuated safely. How could Nancy be burned to death?

"Don't worry. Charles and I are trying to figure it out." Although he was worried too, Jay still comforted Doris.

"Could it be David?" Charles asked in a hoarse voice.

After thinking for a while, Jay replied, "Maybe it's Joseph or Derrick..."

"I don't think it was Joseph. Most likely, it was Derrick who did that. As for David... David's action must be under Derrick's instruction, right?" It was easy to say that they were the people behind the incident, but could presumptions do?

"Yes, they are all our suspects. But the thing is, we don't have any evidence yet. Regardless of who the culprit is, we have to act fast. Otherwise, Nancy would be in danger." What Jay said was true. They couldn't simply point a finger at anyone.

"Okay, I'll leave the kids to Doris, and then I'll go to the hospital to see Derrick tonight." If the children were at home, Charles couldn't concentrate on looking for Nancy. He was afraid that something would happen to the children while he was out.

"Okay, I'll go with you." When the call ended, Jay immediately hugged Doris. "Don't worry. Nancy will be fine."

"You must bring back Nancy as soon as possible. As long as she's not here, I'd be restless. Why do good people always..."

Tears fell from Doris' eyes.

"Ace is asleep now. Bobby and Nadia will come here soon. I guess the next few days will be tiring for you." As his eyes gently looked at her, Jay added, "I'll send more people to protect you. You should be careful too."

"If they dare to come, I will make them... Die." Her voice was full of hatred.

A sudden idea occurred to Jay. "It's a good idea to use the children as bait, but I don't think Charles will agree to it. Besides, it's too dangerous and the consequences are hard to predict. We can't gamble. If we lose, it's over."

Nodding her head, Doris reminded, "That's right, and I don't really want to use the children as bait. You and Charles should also be careful."

With a gentle smile, Jay pecked on Doris' face and asked, "Are you worried about me?"

In an instant, Doris' cheeks heated. "You are my husband. It's just normal to worry about you, isn't it?"

"Well, I really like it when you worry about me." Seeing how she reacted, Jay couldn't help but grin.

"You..." A noise from the courtyard made Doris pause for a second. "Well, this isn't the time to make fun of me. I heard a car outside. It seems like Charles and the children are here."

"I think so." Jay agreed and walked out to see Charles.

Sure enough, Charles' car had stopped in the yard and they all got out of the car.

Without a word, Bobby and Nadia walked in hand in hand.

As soon as Nadia entered the living room, she ran to Doris and cried. "Godmother..."

Her sobs made Doris feel more restless. "Nadia, don't cry. Mommy will be back soon."

"Yes, Mommy will be back soon. Nadia, don't cry, or Mommy will be very sad when she sees you become ugly when she comes back!" Compared to Nadia, Bobby was obviously braver. So, he was the one who cheered Nadia up.

Wiping her tears away, Nadia raised her head and nodded.

Soon, Charles and Jay left the house after instructing the guards and the servants to look after Doris and the kids.

Then, they drove straight to the hospital.

The disappearance of Nancy must have something to do with Derrick. If Derrick didn't open his mouth, they couldn't find a breakthrough.

Of course, Derrick knew that the person behind all of these was David. After all, these were all David's and his plan.

It had to be said that the plan was executed perfectly. It was flawless. No matter how capable Charles was, he could do nothing without evidence.

Without evidence, they would be safe from Charles and the law.

Just as Derrick was relaxing and enjoying his victory, the door of his room was suddenly opened.

From the corners of his eyes, Derrick saw Charles and Jay come in, so he quickly closed his eyes. His plan was to act stupid and not say anything no matter what happened.

To his surprise, Charles dragged him out of the bed.

Then, a bottle of cold water poured over Derrick's head.

"Derrick, if you won't speak today, I will throw you down from this level." At this moment, Charles felt nothing but viciousness.

Even though he couldn't commit a crime, he had to say it to scare Derrick. "Tell me, where is Nancy?"

"Come on! Someone broke into my room..." How Charles behaved was beyond Derrick's expectation, so he shouted for help, hoping that the hospital staff would come in.

Clueless doctors and nursed rushed in but Jay blocked them. "It's none of your business. You can go back to your work."

Since it was Charles and Jay who were in the room, they all left without saying a word.

They couldn't afford to provoke these two powerful people.

Left without a choice, Derrick screamed, "Come here, Hardy! I'm going to be thrown down by Charles."

For two consecutive days, Hardy and Angelina had been focused on Frederic since he was in a coma. Hardy was in Frederic's room when he heard Derrick shout, but Angelina grabbed his arm when he was about to come to his room. "Hardy, Charles is not an unreasonable man. Now that Nancy has disappeared inexplicably, he is certainly anxious. Even I, think that Derrick had something to do with Nancy's disappearance. I believe she's alive. Because if she was indeed burned to death, we could still see her corpse, right? But no... We didn't see her corpse. How could such a person just disappear like this? Don't you think it's strange?"

If truth be told, Hardy thought it was strange too.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, he thought that Derrick shouldn't be so cruel to kill Nancy.

With a sigh, Hardy sat back on his seat. "I'm afraid that Charles will really throw Derrick down."

"Charles is just bluffing. How could he really throw Derrick down?" As a mother, Angelina knew what Charles was capable of doing. He might be ruthless, but not stupid.

"Alas, where on earth is Nancy? I don't know if our father will wake up or not. The fire is so strange!" Shaking his head, Hardy continued, "What have Fu family done? Why do bad things keep happening?"
