Chapter 370

Perhaps Nancy could help her after all. Gina’s tone was calm. “Calm down a bit.”

Nancy stuttered, “Miss Miller, I. I can’t calm down. I’m really, really scared. Please, help me. Save me. I’ll do anything you ask. I don’t want to die. I’m still so young!”

Gina handed Nancy a piece of tissue paper indifferently. Nancy took it and wiped her tears. “Thank you.”

“If you can help me, I can protect you,” Gina said solemnly.

“Help.. help you? What do you mean?” Nancy had only wanted to gain Gina’s sympathy by pouring out her troubles.

Gina said, “I also suspect Henry has done some shady things, but I don’t have evidence. If you can help me replace evidence of his crimes, I’ll agree to anything you need from me.”

Nancy was a little confused. She had only suspected that Henry might enjoy tormenting women, but after hearing Gina’s words, she felt that Henry’s actions might be far more sinister than she had imagined.

She became even more afraid. Yet, she also desperately wanted Gina’s protection. Otherwise, as a minor celebrity, how could she compete with this group of powerful people?

Nancy’s mind was in chaos. She even began to suspect whether Gina was just teasing her, especially since she had offended Gina before. “Miss Miller, do you mind that I deliberately used Mr. Jackson for publicity before?”

“I already told you. Whether you’re trying to create a scandal or genuinely trying to win Gabriel over, go ahead and try. I don’t care about it,” Gina emphasized.

Nancy replied, “I only wanted publicity. I didn’t want to take him. I don’t deserve Mr. Jackson, and I can’t compare to you.” How could Gabriel, who liked Cina, possibly be interested in her? Nancy still had some self–awareness.

“Don’t

t waste time. Answer me, can you be my informant?” Gina asked.

She didn’t lack capable subordinates, but she needed someone who seemed non–threatening and wouldn’t arouse Henry’s suspicions. Nancy was quite suitable.

“You can rest assured that if you help me. I will ensure your safety, Gina promised.

Of course, Nancy was willing to trust Gina. She was her only lifeline. If she didn’t agree to be Gina’s informant, Nancy felt she would be walking into a dead end.

Gina said, “Okay, then you can get off here. From now on, just interact with them naturally, as you would normally.”

“Alright.” Nancy got out of the car. Still feeling uneasy, she asked, “Miss Miller, will you…. keep your promise?”

“Do you think I was joking with you just now?” Gina asked back.

“I understand.” Nancy didn’t want to continue bothering Gina, lest she provoke her annoyance. After closing the car door, Gina drove away.

Nancy walked into the foundation’s building with trembling legs. She hadn’t gone far when she saw Shane and Henry standing in the corridor.

They seemed to be chatting happily. Nancy couldn’t hear what they were talking about, but from their expressions, Shane and Henry seemed to be enjoying the conversation.

Feeling increasingly suspicious, Nancy even thought that Shane might be discussing with Henry how to dispose of her after they were done playing with her.

Shane noticed Nancy approaching and saw her eyes were red. “What happened? Didn’t you say you were going to talk to Miss Miller? Did you get scolded and cry?”

Henry’s gaze fell on Nancy when he heard that she went to see Cina. He asked, “Mr. Benderson, is your new girlfriend friends with Miss Miller? That’s impressive.”

Shane replied, “Friends? Not at all. You never listen to me or even follow entertainment news. She offended Gina before and just happened to run into her at the entrance. She said she wanted to apologize to Gina, fearing Gina would blacklist her.”

Shane insisted on boasting. “In fact, if Gina wasn’t friends with Nancy’s company’s boss, I could definitely protect my girlfriend’s career!”

Henry smiled and didn’t say much.

Shane continued, “So what happened? Stop crying and tell me. Did she not forgive you? Why didn’t you listen to me? I told you, that going to see her now would only humiliate yourself, but you didn’t believe me.”

Shane not only didn’t care about his girlfriend but even felt like mocking her.

“She didn’t forgive me and even slapped me, saying I’m shameless.” Nancy glanced at Henry. Since Gina asked her to be her informant, she had to show that she and Gina were at odds,

Nancy was also trembling with nervousness, but luckily, her crying made Shane and the others think she was just sobbing. Shane couldn’t be bothered to console her. To him, Nancy was just a tool for his pleasure. He casually said, “I’ll go to the bathroom. You guys talk about the donation.”

With her head down, Nancy’s pupils suddenly contracted. Though she felt that Shane was not a good person, she didn’t want to be alone with Henry either. He gave her a chilling feeling. But she couldn’t stop Shane from going to the bathroom,

After Shane left, Nancy didn’t know how to start a conversation with Henry. She even felt a bit resistant to getting close to him.

Henry asked thoughtfully, “Miss Steele, are you afraid of me?”

“No, no!” Nancy’s panic gave her away,

Henry paused, then smiled lightly. “I think I know why you’re afraid of me. Did Mr. Benderson joke about giving you to me? Don’t worry, Mr. Benderson loves to talk nonsense like that. Even if he insists on giving you to me, I wouldn’t want you. I assure you, I’m not that twisted”

“Really?” Nancy was somewhat afraid, but she tried to remain calm. I’m not an object to be given.”

Henry nodded gently. “You’re right. But being with. Mr. Benderson might mean sacrificing your happiness. So, if you’re dreaming of marrying into a wealthy family by being with him, I’d advise you to give up on that. Mr. Benderson is a playboy. He won’t be sincere with you.

Did Henry mistake her for someone trying to marry into a wealthy family for money?

Nancy even felt that Henry was kindly advising her. She looked up and finally met his eyes. His gaze was calm and gave off a gentle feeling…

Could it be that Henry wasn’t a pervert after all? Nancy couldn’t figure it out.
