Chapter 249
Cyrus glanced at the dirt Lucy had sent him about Baldrick, a glint flashing in his eyes. "Get ready," he said,
determination threading through his voice. "I'm sending you abroad right away."
No matter if it was Baldrick, Judson, or even Michael, he would deal with each of them. He was certain he could
take Nancy away from here, back to the hthat was rightfully theirs.
Once they were back, there would be no one to interfere with their relationship. He and Nancy could finally
return to the way things used to be.
"Cyrus is like a mad dog," Ramona huffed, her voice thick with disdain. "Lena, you were way too good to be
involved with someone like that."
Nancy kept her expression calm, her voice steady. "That's all in the past."
"Exactly," Judson chimed in, gripping the steering wheel with a hint of pride in his voice. "Nancy's gotnow;
she wouldn't even look twice at Cyrus."
Ramona rolled her eyes. "Really, Mr. Green? Aren't we full of ourselves?"
Nancy gave Judson a sideways glance, a hint of exasperation in her eyes. What did he mean by "Nancy's got
me"? Even without Judson, she and Cyrus were never going to be a thing.
As the car cto a smooth stop, Judson turned to Ramona, impatience evident in his voice. "We're at your

Ramona raised an eyebrow, shot Nancy a knowing look, and said, "I'll head in. You two should get srest.
Tomorrow's a big day for the fashion show."
Nancy understood the implication and smiled. "You rest well, too. We've got a lot ahead of us."
With everything set for the show, all that was left was to walk the runway.
Ramona chuckled softly. "You're right. See you tomorrow." She stepped out and closed the door.
Judson wasted no tstarting the car again, eager to drive off before Ramona could interrupt their moment.
Left on the sidewalk, Ramona shook her head. Judson was really something. Honestly, after seeing Judson almost
run down Cyrus earlier, she didn't doubt Cyrus had been serious in his threats. If Nancy hadn't intervened, Cyrus
might have been roadkill by now.
Inside the car, silence settled in.
Judson glanced over at Nancy, clearly wanting to say something, but she cut him off with a cool, "Don't talk to
Judson, taken aback by her tone, asked, "Nancy, are you upset?"
Nancy stayed silent, her attention fixed on the scenery rushing by outside the window.
Judson, seeing her refusal to engage, felt a mix of frustration and hurt. "Nancy, you-"
He stopped when he caught her gaze-steady, cool, devoid of warmth.
Swallowing his words, Judson gripped the steering wheel tighter Was she mad because he almost hit Cyrus? Did
she still have feelings for him?
The thought twisted in his gut. No, he couldn't allow that.
Soon, Judson pulled over, and Nancy was about to step out when she heard a click-the doors locked.
Her face fell as she turned to confront Judson, but before she could speak, he moved closer, crossing into her
space.
Their faces inches apart, Judson's arms caged her in, bracing against the seat on either side. Their breaths

Nancy instinctively leaned back, but the confines of the car offered no escape.

But the slightest push only brought him closer, his upper body pressing into hers.
Judson's arms wrapped tightly around her waist, pulling her into an unyielding embrace.
