Chapter 580
Hannah scoffed with a mocking smile, "Let me tell you, the troupe brought in this new dancer, a real talent. She's so much more skilled than Fannie, and she's the leading lady.
Seeing her spot under threat, Fannie cozied up to the director. But she got caught red-handed by his wife, right in the act. The press had a field day and the wife slapped Fannie silly in front of everyone. Talk about a fall from grace.
Fannie blamed it all on the new girl and got nasty. She sabotaged a performance, causing the poor thing to trip during a tricky move, breaking her leg, ending her career on stage.”
“That's downright dirty,” | lamented.
“Exactly! So, the girl pressed charges, and Fannie spent four years in jail, waving goodbye to the spotlight. Once she got out, she just started swindling men out of their money.”
“That just shows she was rotten to the core.”
Hannah continued, “She still had that dancer's charm, though. You know, still quite the catch despite getting on in years. Even if she was caught in the act, it was all consensual, so there wasn't much they could do. It's like they say, once you have no shame, you're invincible, and nothing really matters. Now, she's all about her makeup and scams, especially with old-timers. Her and Farley is a match made in heaven.”
“Farley's been henpecked by Hazel for years. Now that he's got a taste of freedom, he's acting like a kid in a candy store,” | said, picturing his drooling face.
Fannie could make any man weak in the knees, not just Farley.
“Fannie's moved into Farley's place now. They're living it up, day and night, and the whole neighborhood's buzzing about it.” Hannah chuckled wickedly, “Those old-timers are all cursing Farley, saying he'll get his comeuppance.”
“About Farley's finances, you asked me to check, and he's got two cards, one for his pension, which is just over three grand a month, and another with savings under half a million. Since Hazel passed, he's been burning through cash, living paycheck to paycheck, splurging on wine, and dining with the ladies.”
“What a waste!” | cursed, “The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.” Grinning mischievously, Hannah added, “Now that he's hooked on Fannie, he's going to be broke before he knows it.”
“He won't learn his lesson until she bleeds him dry,” | snorted, “But let's not let her get too comfy in that house. Once this is over, she can go back to her old ways, just keep her from causing more trouble.”
“Exactly. We'll take down Fannie's gang while we're at it,” Hannah said coldly. “She has a gang?” | asked incredulously.
“Oh, yeah! After she's done with the old guys, she ropes them into her schemes.” “How so?” | asked, puzzled.
“Gambling,” Hannah said nonchalantly, “Conning people into betting games, poker, you name it. Once they're in her circle, they go in dressed to the nines and come out with nothing but their birthday suits. And don't get me started on the cons, like fake marriages. She's the mastermind.”
“| can't believe it. She's quite the character.” | mused, then decided, “Let's have Farley's house seized by the state then.”
Hannah looked at me, fishing for confirmation, “You mean...”
| raised an eyebrow at her, replying, "Let's turn Farley's placeantociie\ sepfiaaiad, id then bring the whole house down.” Please read the original content at .
Hannah burst into laughter, “Allie, you've got a wicked mind.” As Hannah and | talked, we walked out with bags in hand, my phone stubbornly ringing inside.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
