DreameNovelChapter 65 For three days, Nancy had been by Judson's side in the hospital and waited for news from Orlando about Judson's background. But as they waited, a scandal shook the upper echelons of their social circle.
When the Harris family declared bankruptcy, an illegitimate son emerged from the shadows to claim his inheritance and take control of the family's corporate empire.

She got hit by a car driven by the Harris family's illegitimate son's chauffeur." "And three hours ago, the patriarch of the Harris family died in prison. Before his death, he transferred all his shares to his illegitimate son." Orlando's voice was heavy with implication as he told Nancy, "Lena, this doesn't seem to be connected to Judson. He couldn't have dug up dirt on the Harris family that fast. Whoever did this must have been close to them.
Nancy listened, her gaze flickering to the man interviewed on the TV screen. Despite the odd feeling in her gut, Orlando's reasoning made sense.
"Lena, regardless, the Harris family's mess has been cleaned up. And Evergreen Global has even proposed to terminate their contract." Orlando's voice sounded relieved. "We can start preparing for the press conference now." Nancy hummed in agreement, her mind still on Orlando's words. The Harris family problem was resolved. "I'|| head to the office tomorrow. Judson will be discharged by then. We can talk more about it tomorrow." As Nancy was about to hang up, the door burst open with a bang, and Judson rushed in, wrapping her in a tight embrace. "Nancy, I've sorted out the discharge papers. We can go home! I've missed our place so much. Nancy, I want to cook something special for you!" Nancy paused, looking at Judson's excited face. Hearing him talk about 'going home' stirred something deep within her. She nodded faintly, "Yeah, let's go home." Life had its quirks. She had always thought the concept of 'home' belonged to her and Cyrus alone. Yet it had seamlessly transitioned to being something she shared with Judson. It was as if the page with Cyrus had been turned once and for all.
Meanwhile, Cyrus was in a state of utter panic. "Why can't you find Nancy? Are you sure you've checked everywhere she might go?" His subordinates, aware of his intensity, dared not hide anything from him and replied truthfully, "Mr. Gordon, we've looked everywhere, even the small village where Mrs. Gordon grew up, but we couldn't find any trace of her." The weight of their failure hung in the air, adding to the tension in the room.
Their voices were desperate, "Mr. Gordon, it's as if Mrs. Gordon has vanished into thin air. Had she disappeared?" Words like vanished and disappeared weighed heavily on Cyrus, making breathing difficult. "Useless! If you can't find her, you're not looking hard enough. A living person can't just vanish. She must be hiding somewhere! Keep looking!" Hearing Cyrus' voice crack with panic, Hayley's eyes flickered with an unreadable emotion. Nancy had indeed hidden herself well. Despite Cyrus' men turning the place upside down in their search, Nancy remained unfound.
The subordinates hurriedly nodded, not daring to object further.

As Cyrus put down his phone, his mind was The contenike a whit of thoughnes
Hayley moved closer, gently taking his hand. "Cyrus, don't worry. Nancy's an adult. She can't just disappear. They must have left sclue behind. Perhaps they aren't looking hard enough..." Before she could finish, Cyrus' gaze snapped to her, his eyes narrowing. "What did you just say?"
Startled by his sudden intensity, Hayley hesitated, "That they're not e looking hard enough?"
