Conquering System: Harem With Infinite Rebirths-Chapter 258: Ambiguity
The more mysterious YouHaborry was, the more perfect Nancy imagined him to be. Now, Nancy’s mind was full of fantasies about YouHaborry.
In Nancy’s fantasy, YouHaborry must be a young, handsome, unrestrained, wealthy, talented, gentle, kind, considerate, humorous, and attentive perfect man.
Nancy imagined that all the advantages of the male protagonists in Korean dramas were applied to YouHaborry.
Little did she know that the real YouHaborry was right in front of her.
"What’s there to peek at about my own sister? I just wanted to see if you two are up. What’s going on, Nancy? Clara isn’t here?" Harry looked around with some concern but didn’t see any sign of Clara.
"Clara and Elena went out to buy lunch." Nancy looked at Harry meaningfully and said, "Brother-in-law, are you free now? I want to talk to you about something."
"Huh? Want to talk to me?" Harry was slightly stunned, and his first reaction was whether his identity on Tik Tok had been exposed by Nancy, the scheming woman.
"Yes, it’s about... your sister-in-law, Clara." Nancy smiled proudly and said confidently, "I think you must be very interested, brother-in-law."
"About Clara? What’s the matter?" Harry was stunned again. This was something he did not expect!
Nancy wanted to talk to him about Clara? What could it be?
"Brother-in-law, come in and chat." Nancy smiled slyly and turned to walk into Clara’s bedroom.
Harry frowned curiously, unable to figure out Nancy’s thoughts for a moment.
This Nancy was too scheming. Harry was finding it increasingly difficult to understand this woman.
Following Nancy into Clara’s bedroom, Harry felt a little embarrassed as they were alone in the room. Nancy, on the other hand, behaved very naturally.
"Brother-in-law, I won’t beat around the bush. I’ll just tell you straight. Do you... like Clara?" Nancy smiled proudly and said mysteriously.
When Nancy asked this question, Harry couldn’t help but feel panicked.
Fortunately, Harry had overheard the conversation between Nancy and Clara yesterday and knew that Clara had confided in Nancy about her feelings. Otherwise, he would have been truly startled.
After all, affairs between brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law weren’t unheard of, but it was still unsettling to be exposed by an outsider.
"Of course I like Clara. Clara and Elena, I treat them as my own sisters." Harry pretended not to know and covered it up seriously.
"Really? You just treat her as your younger sister?" Nancy snickered. "It is said that a sister-in-law and a brother-in-law are natural lovers. Brother-in-law, have you ever had other thoughts about Clara? Clara is so beautiful, and you spend so much time together—haven’t you ever been moved?"
"Nancy, what nonsense are you talking about? Clara is my wife’s sister. How could I have such an idea?" Harry continued to feign surprise and spoke seriously.
"Since you don’t like Clara, then I have nothing more to say... Alas, poor Clara... She can only have unrequited love..." Nancy deliberately put on a regretful look and shook her head.
"What do you mean? Nancy, what do you mean?" Harry knew what Nancy was referring to but pretended to be ignorant and asked curiously.
Of course, Harry knew Clara had confessed her feelings to Nancy, but what he couldn’t figure out was Nancy’s true intentions.
"Brother-in-law, stop pretending. Clara has told me everything, so I’ll be honest. Clara likes you—really likes you. I know you like Clara too, and you two love each other, but you can’t act on it because of your relationship. I know both of you are suffering, so I want to help you."
Nancy smiled proudly and got straight to the point.
"Help us? How? Why do you want to help me and Clara?" Harry tried to probe Nancy’s motives.
"Brother-in-law, I won’t beat around the bush. I care about Clara deeply, and I know how much she’s struggling with this. You two deserve happiness, and I can help make that happen."
Nancy stretched out a finger and said seriously, "Brother-in-law, I can help you convince Clara, let her put aside her worries, and let you two lovers finally be together! All I ask is that you don’t stand in my way when it comes to our friendship. What do you think?"
"So that’s it!" Harry’s mind suddenly became clear. Recalling what Nancy had done last night, he instantly understood her purpose.
Nancy was not an ordinary woman.
She was cunning, and she wanted something from Harry—leverage, perhaps, or simply the satisfaction of pulling strings behind the scenes.
This was a transaction!
A deal that was harmless on the surface but could easily backfire.
This Nancy was truly scheming.
After all the plotting, it turned out Harry was the one being used!
"Nancy, I say, what’s your real game here?" Harry did not directly answer her question but asked curiously.
"My game? Brother-in-law, I’m just being practical. Clara is my best friend, and I want her to be happy. If you’re the one who can make her happy, then so be it. But I won’t let anyone hurt her—including you." Nancy said frankly.
"Hehe..." Harry smiled faintly and looked at Nancy deeply.
Nancy was trying to set a trap and take advantage of him.
But wasn’t this a great opportunity?
If Nancy wanted to play games, Harry could play them better.
He wouldn’t let Clara be manipulated, but if he could turn the tables on Nancy…
"Nancy, Clara and I do have some unusual feelings, but our relationship is complicated. You think too much of me. Some feelings don’t have to be possessive. I think Clara and I are fine now. Thank you for your kindness." Harry stood up with a smile, nodded to Nancy, and said meaningfully, "However, I will consider your suggestion."
After saying that, Harry turned around and left the room.
Clara was still too naive. A woman like Nancy was very scheming. Harry couldn’t afford to let his guard down.
Before figuring out Nancy’s true motives, Harry didn’t want her to know too much about his relationship with Clara.
If Nancy knew too much, it could become a problem later.
So for now, Harry neither refused nor agreed—he left it ambiguous, keeping Nancy guessing while he planned his next move.
"Brother-in-law, are you up? We’re having Japanese food today!" As soon as Harry walked downstairs, Clara, who was carrying a big bag of things, greeted Harry with a smile.
Harry looked at Clara affectionately, his eyes full of tenderness.
The weather was very hot today. Clara wore a simple white short T-shirt and red sports shorts, her sun-kissed legs giving her a vibrant, athletic charm.
Harry couldn’t help but admire her—Clara was beautiful no matter what she wore.
Harry couldn’t help but admire her—Clara was beautiful no matter what she wore.
"Brother-in-law, what are you looking at? Why are you stunned?" Seeing Harry staring at her blankly, Clara glared at him shyly and scolded him coquettishly.
"Okay, okay! You’re going to cook the Japanese food today, right?" Harry teased, knowing full well Clara’s cooking skills were… lacking.
"Nope! I can’t cook Japanese food, but Nancy can." Clara playfully stretched out a finger and shook it. Seeing Nancy coming downstairs, she smiled and said, "Next, please welcome our chef—Miss Nancy!"
