Chapter 238 "...No need to thank me. You wanted to be friends, didn't you?" Nancy said with a soft chuckle.
Ramona was taken aback for a moment, then nodded earnestly. "Of course, you already are my friend." "Then there's no need to say thank you." Nancy smiled gently, "Take care." With that, she got into the car with Judson and drove away.
Ramona stood there, watching the direction Nancy had disappeared in. Even though the car was long gone, Nancy's words kept replaying in her mind.

Before she could fully process the rush of emotions, she felt a weight on her shoulder. Looking up, she saw Michael's easygoing face next to hers. She brushed his hand off her shoulder, asking, "What are you doing here?" "I was worried Judson might lose his cool and reveal his identity or do something drastic to Malcolm. Luckily, as soon as Nancy and Judson parked, Malcolm took off." Michael remarked with his usual sharp wit.
Ramona smiled knowingly. "Don't worry, even if he loses his cool, he'll hold it together. Mr. Buchanan wouldn't want to leave Lena." Michael shrugged, unconvinced. "True enough. Seeing you're alright, I'll head out now." As Michael turned to leave, Ramona opened her mouth to say something but decided against it.
Lena was willing to be her friend, but should she tell her about Judson's real identity? Yet, her current standing in the Iverson family was largely due to Judson's support.
She decided to keep quiet for now. If Judson ever hurt Lena, she would tell her everything.
Meanwhile, inside the smoothly cruising car...
"Nancy, that guy was the mastermind, wasn't he?" Judson asked, his grip on the steering wheel betraying his simmering anger.
Nancy didn't deny it. "Ms. Iverson will handle it. You don't need to get involved this time." Judson felt a twinge of jealousy. "Nancy, I'm your man. How can you rely on Ramona?" Nancy sensed his jealousy and calmly replied, "Ramona and I are friends, and besides, we're future business partners.' Judson huffed, clearly displeased. "But you were both in danger today." "How about I go find Ramona and you calong with me?" Nancy suggested with a hint of exasperation. Judson hesitated, pursing his lips.
"That's Tet what I should do, Nancy.

Judson groaned. "Nancy!" Nancy calmly looked away. She had no intention of giving in to his demand.
Judson was about to protest further when his phone rang. Nancy up her phone and checkeder t was Lenard. Content the caller ID.

Lenard's serious voice cthrough the line, "I just saw Cyrus having a candlelit dinner with Lucy! That guy ytucy! really is a piece of work, can't keep his hands off anything." The car wasn't that big, so Judson overheard the conversation as well.
He feigned surprise, "Are they going to book a hotel room after dinner?" Nangy rolled her eyes.
"Judson, that's not a nice thing to say!" Lenard chided from the other end
