Chapter 28 While listening to a car starting in the driveway, Nancy's smile twisted into a sneer.
Her phone chimed with a new message. It was a threat from Hayley.
[Hayley: It seems your charm isn't all that, Nancy. I just told Cyrus I twisted my ankle, and he rushed over. Tsk, you can't keep a man even in your fancy family home. I'm embarrassed for you.] Hayley also attached a call log between her and Cyrus. Nancy couldn't be bothered to open it, tossing her phone aside. She thought it was no use losing sleep over someone who wasn't worth it.
The following morning, Wilma watched Nancy coming downstairs, her smile fading instantly. "Nancy, why are you up so late? Where's Cyrus?" He had spent the night with Hayley, who sent a video that morning of Cyrus sleeping soundly, with two empty wine bottles in the background.

"Let's have breakfast, Nancy. Then you can joinfor an errand." Nancy nodded obediently, pulling up a chair to sit.
After breakfast, Wilma's expression was even darker as she emerged from her bedroom.
Cyrus was out gallivanting with Hayley in the middle of the night! He was getting too bold, not listening to anyone anymore! "What's wrong, Wilma?" Nancy asked, sensing something was amiss.
Wilma forced a smile. "Nothing. Let's head out." Nancy wasn't aware of everything Hayley was up to; if she had been, her personality would have already led her to leave Cyrus.
Half an hour later, Nancy looked at the Gordon Group building, falling silent.
Holding Nancy's hand, Wilma stepped out of the car.
"Nancy, I haven't been to the office in a while. You were a talented jewelry designer before you beca stay- at-hwife." Wilma dragged Nancy toward the office. "How about working at Gordon Group? Don't worry. As the chairman, I can make it happen with just one word." Nancy hesitated, her voice filled with mixed emotions, "But I was thinking of focusing on getting healthier and starting a family first." Wilma felt even more sympathetic. "Okay, then we'll do as you wish." If Cyrus didn't deal with Hayley, she would do so as his mother. It had been long since Wilma visited the company, especially accompanied by the CEO's wife.
The staff were shocked, especially Caleb.
Without thinking, Caleb reached for his phone, planning to call Cyrus.

Looking at Wilma and Nancy's intense gazes, especially Nanoy's clear eye's, Caleb replied stiffly, "Yes, he is."
Wilma narrowed her eyes menacingly and immediately let go of Nancy's! hand, striding toward the CEO's office. Unable to say anything, Nancy just followed.
Caleb was in a bind, trying to contact Cyrus secretly, but the call went unanswered.
Seeing the CEO's office door shut tight, Wilma flung it open. When she saw the two entangled figures, her anger erupted. "Cyrus, what are you doing with Hayley?"
