DreameNovelChapter 217 Nancy was mid-sentence when she turned and saw Cyrus storming over, clutching a bouquet and looking furious.
Before she could say anything, Cyrus grabbed Judson by the shoulder. "Judson, Nancy is my wife. What makes you think I won't=" Judson immediately turned to Nancy with teary eyes. "Nancy, he's bullyingagain! I don't mind, but don't get upset." Cyrus glared at Judson, clearly getting angrier. "Judson, quit the act! You think Nancy will fall for your lies?" But before he could finish, Nancy's face turned stern as she grabbed Cyrus' wrist.

You think you can just waltz back here and bully Nancy and Judson?" Lenard, who had just walked in, immediately frowned and lunged forward. "You think no one has Nancy's back? I'll take you on!" Cyrus barely had tto react before Lenard tackled him from behind. "Let go." "Let go, you say? Too late!" Lenard shouted, spotting Potter entering the scene. He quickly waved him over.
"Potter, this guy's messing with Nancy and Judson. Judson almost fell down the stairs last week because of him!" Potter's eyes narrowed. "Causing trouble again, are we? I'm in!" He joined Lenard in restraining Cyrus.
Cyrus' expression darkened. He might have been able to shake off Lenard alone, but with Potter stepping in, it was a whole different ball game.
"Judson's word is gospel now? He's pretending!" Judson shrank back into Nancy's arms, trembling. "It's okay, just pretend I'm faking it. I did just get out of the hospital, after all." Cyrus was nearly beside himself with rage. "Judson, you're really milking this, aren't you?" Lenard snorted. "We know who's acting here, clear as day." "Mr. Gordon, I appreciate your earlier intervention, but your constant targeting of Judson and Miss Lena won't be tolerated," Potter said with disapproval.
Though he wasn't fond of Judson, he couldn't stoop to Cyrus' level of malice.
"Nancy," Cyrus turned to her, realizing he was getting nowhere with the others. "I haven't done anything to Judson. He's settingup, just like last time-" "Enough!" Nancy cut him off. "Cyrus, if you're here to stir up trouble, just leave. I don't want to talk to you." Cyrus was incensed. "Nancy, who's really causing trouble here,or Judson? I chere to comfort you after hearing about the false accusations against you." "Well, you've done your comforting. You can leave now," Nancy replied coldly.

Nancy let out a sarcastic laugh. "And how do you expectto treat you? Can you erase all the hurt you've caused me?" Cyrus had snerve. Who gave him the audacity? Cyrus saw the clarity in Nancy's eyes, and unease gnawed at him, as if everything between him and Hayley was laid bare.
"Nancy, there's no need to twist the truth. You're the one who standered ley, who leftby voiding your identity." Nancy's laugh was icy, devoid of warmth.
Judson clung to Nancy, but his sharp gaze was fixed on Cyrus, filled with ap unmasked hostility.
Every bit of resentment Nancy suffered because of Hayley, Judson would ensure was paid back with interest. Lenard seemed to realize something. "So you don't love Nancy anymore? You've got a mistress out there, one who dares to challenge Nancy, and you trust her over Nancy!" This was the man his sister was willing to abandon her career for, to live a simple life with? "Who the hell do you think you are, treating Nancy this way?!"
