Chapter 208 Michael smirked, his eyes cold as steel. "I heard you've been blacklisted. Let's see if Mr. Grey is ready to go to war with The Ferguson Group just for you." Nora's heart pounded in her chest, and she snapped, "You're threatening me!" "Yep," Michael's voice dripped with sarcasm. "Who knew a couple of slaps could actually make you smarter?" Nora's face flushed with anger, but what truly unsettled her was the seriousness in Michael's demeanor. He really intended to blacklist her.
Penny crossed her arms, her tone icy, "Nora, if I were you, I'd be on the phone with Mr. Grey right now, demanding justice." Once Nora noticed everyone's mocking looks, she completely lost her cool. "I don't need your advice. Just you wait and see!" With that, she stormed out in a huff.
The backstage area fell into a tense silence.

She awkwardly withdrew her hand and shot Judson a warning look, "What are you doing here? And with Mr. Ferguson of all people?" Could it be that Judson was starting to regain sof his memory? Sensing the probe in Nancy's words, Judson pouted slightly, "Nancy, you said I should take walks when I'm free. I've been waiting for you at the coffee shop." Nancy couldn't help but chuckle at his innocent explanation.
Even Lenard joined in, teasing, "She meant near home, Judson, not at a café near Potter Inc." Judson shot Lenard a sharp look, "Well, you weren't exactly reliable!" Even though Lenard was supposed to be watching over Nancy, she still ended up being bullied.
Feeling the weight of Judson's glare, Lenard couldn't help but feel a bit sheepish, knowing he wasn't as dependable as Judson.
Watching Lenard squirm, Michael grinned, "Miss Lena, I didn't cwith your man. Penny toldDeanna was in trouble." Judson's sweetness and soft spot were clearly reserved solely for Nancy, leaving little room for anyone else. Somehow, this realization made Michael feel a bit better.
"That's right, I called Michael to lend a hand," Penny said, stepping up to Nancy.
Both women stood tall, eye to eye. Penny smiled and wrapped her arms around Nancy briefly before pulling back. "Long tno see.' At first, Judson was annoyed by Penny's hug, but he quickly yanked Nancy in, wrapping his arm around her waist protectively.
"Nancy, you know her?" Nancy nodded slightly, replying, "Yes." "Seems like Lena didn't tell you, Winnie is my sister," Penny said with a sly smile.
Lenard's eyes widened, "No way!" He quickly moved to stand in front of Penny, "From now on, you're my sister too.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNo wonder when he called for backup, she showed up immediately. Penny was Winnie's sister!
Penny smirked, "You sure you want to callsister? Winnie and baren't exactly on good terms. She probably told you she's an orphan." Lenard hesitated.
True, because Lena never mentioned Winnie's background. Who would've guessed she was the eldest daughter of a famous family?
"Lena, is this your new boyfriend?" Penny asked, her gaze landing on of Judson with a hint of admiration Before Nancy could respond, Judson stepped forward protectively, "No, I'm Lena's husband!" "Husband?" Penny echoed, her tone teasing, "Real or pretend?" Judson frowned slightly, turning to Nancy with a hint of vulnerability, "Nancy, am I real or pretend?"
