Chapter 80 "What did you just say?" Lenard's voice suddenly rose, his reply decisive, "Baldrick's been in a car crash. It was the work of an enemy. I got a call about it, which nearly gavea heart attack. I wish I hadn't had so much to drink. It messedup." "Good to know." Judson coldly snorted, expressionless.
Feeling sheepish, Lenard cautiously probed, "So, do you know who's got a crush on Winnie?" "Guess." Judson hung up the phone without giving Lenard a chance to reply.
On the other end, Lenard listened to the dial tone, thinking, "Damn, this guy's playing me, isn't he? What a jerk!" At the police station, someone was fuming. "I went after people from the Sandro Group. They stole my deal, and I couldn't take it! Cutting off someone's finances is like killing their parents! I'll never get over what the Sandro Group did!" Handcuffed, the man was seething, glaring at Baldrick with bloodshot eyes.
As Baldrick looked at the guy's twisted face, he felt a wave of anger rising up inside him.

Baldrick's face grew darker and colder as his assistant approached cautiously. "Mr. Robertson, should we blackball the Rogers Group?" "Blackball? Rogers is already bankrupt.

The NY Symposium was the most anticipated event in Ardenweald, drawing all the big names.
No paparazzi were allowed, and the event would start at 1 PM. Many arrived early. Luxury cars lined the venue, which was in lavish decorations.
"I'll be back late. Ensure you have dinner without me," Nancy told Judson earnestly.
Judson nodded reluctantly, then looked up at Lenard, who was driving.
After the previous incident, Lenard almost swore. "Don't worry. I won't get drunk this time." With that, Lenard drove off, leaving Judson to watch until the car disappeared.
Instead of heading back inside, Judson walked out of the villa complex.
A limited edition Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up.
The driver quickly opened the door, "Mr. Buchanan." With a grim expression, Judson stepped in and asked lazily, "Have the orders been passed down?" "They have. Neil's informing the guys now." Judson's demeanor turned sharp and icy, different from how he was with Nancy.

Lenard and Nancy entered the NY Symposium, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
A handsman with a beautiful woman was always a sight to behold, especially Nancy, in a lavender velvet dress, accentuating her figure perfectly. Her long legs hinted at beneath the fabric.
She had her hair held up with a simple yet elegant clip. The makeup enhanced her beauty, making her stand out even more among the crowd of beauties. "Man, where did Lenard find such a stunner!"
"No wonder Lenard rejected the girls I sent his way. With someone as beautiful as her, I'd be smitten, too." Nangy hadn't attended these high-profile events before marrying Cyrus, so not too many in the social circle knew her.
The event was an exception, meant to foster cooperation with NYOsb Nancy decided to show up with Lenard. Then, a mocking voice cut through, "Lena, I thought you left the scene. What brings you here today?"
