The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow

Nancy was stunned.

The door slammed shut.

Lenard was utterly bewildered, taking several seconds to swallow and calm down. "Nancy, am I hallucinating from all these late nights, or what's the deal with you and this handsome guy?"

Nancy's tone was complex. "Found him. He saved me but lost his memory, and now, Judson thinks I'm his wife."

It was Lenard's turn to be shocked. He would never have believed it if it weren't for Nancy's serious demeanor, which he knew she wasn't one to joke around.

Thinking this, Lenard couldn't help but mutter, "If I knew it was this easy, I should have had my buddy do the same..."

Nancy didn't get his words. "What did you say?"

"Nothing." Lenard quickly changed the subject. "Nancy, you returned. Did you divorce that guy, Cyrus?" Nancy didn't deny it but nodded slightly. She hadn't gone into detail about her marriage with Cyrus to her mentor and friends. She only mentioned returning home to get married and focusing on her family and career there, which led her mentor and Winnie to remain unaware that her husband was Cyrus. Seeing Nancy's calm demeanor, Lenard sharply caught the fleeting sadness in her eyes. Lenard's expression darkened as he clenched his fists tightly. "Nancy, did that jerk wrong you?" Usually, they called her by her name only when something serious happened; otherwise, they just called her Lena.

Nancy spoke softly, "It's in the past now. It doesn't matter anymore."

Lenard shouted, "How can it not matter! Nancy, this guy let you down. Does he realize what you've sacrificed for him?"

Lenard grew increasingly angry. "If it weren't for your marriage to him a year ago, you would've collaborated with the headquarters of Evergreen Global. By now, you'd be a top-tier presence in the industry. A design queen wouldn't be an exaggeration!"

Nancy lowered her gaze. "That's why I'm back at my job. I won't make the same mistakes for anyone again."

Lenard fell silent at that.

Listening to Nancy's somewhat self-deprecating voice, Lenard became even more anxious. "Nancy, that's not what I meant. I can't stand how he treated you!"

"Why? I'd like to know, too."

Nancy scoffed sarcastically, recalling everything Cyrus had done for Hayley: the city-wide fireworks, supporting her through her pregnancy, fighting for her and getting arrested, buying back all her jewelry just to give it back to her, and even gifting her Silverleaf Manor. Moreover, he demanded Nancy apologize to Hayley, or they'd divorce.

Lenard asked why Cyrus treated her this way. Indeed, she wanted to understand the reason, too.

But one thing Nancy knew for sure. "That scumbag will never give me what I deserve, so I'm over him. He's history."

All Lenard felt was a deep sense of injustice. "Nancy, it doesn't sit right with me. Can't we do something about him?"

"We can't. Cyrus' entire business is back home, and he's not easy to deal with," Nancy answered truthfully.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have had to go to such extremes to leave Cyrus.

Lenard felt more aggrieved. "So, we can't retaliate or deal with him but let him bully us?"

"Consider it a price paid for a lesson learned." Nancy tried to console softly.

Lenard knew the situation well, but it still felt unfair.

Standing at the door, Judson listened to Nancy's words, his eyes filled with a tumultuous fury.noveldrama

Who said Cyrus couldn't be dealt with just because he was back home? Judson had been seething with rage since he learned about all Cyrus had done to hurt Nancy.

The girl he dared not dream of having got mistreated by Cyrus, a scoundrel. Nancy might swallow her pride, but he couldn't. He and Cyrus were far from done!

Nancy didn't want to dwell on the topic, skillfully changing the subject. "What brings you here this time?" Knowing what Nancy meant, Lenard sighed, "The CEO of the Sandro Group is returning from a business trip in two days. The Sandro Group is planning a major fashion show for their annual meeting. It is a big project, and you have to land it!"
