The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow

Nancy's face darkened as she caught Ogden's malevolent gaze, leaving a wave of disgust in her heart. That scoundrel Cyrus! He had left her to deal with Ogden, a notoriously slippery man, all because he had to chase after Hayley! Was Hayley that important?

Nancy coldly grabbed her purse, but Ogden seized her delicate wrist the next moment.

Smelling the faint perfume on Nancy, greed shone undisguised in Ogden's eyes. "What's this, Mrs. Gordon? Planning on grabbing your bag and leaving? Mr. Gordon has entrusted you to sign the contract." Feeling the warmth of Ogden's hand on her wrist, Nancy quickly shook it off in disgust.

Her face soured. "Mr. Smith, have you had too much to drink? Or do you need me to call Cyrus so he can come and sign this contract himself?"

She was, after all, Cyrus' wife in name. And this man dared to lay a hand on her!

Seeing Nancy's anger, Ogden wasn't flustered. Instead, he flashed a yellow-toothed grin. "Do you think you can even reach Mr. Gordon? He's off with his little mistress now."

Nancy's gaze faltered. How did Ogden know about this?

Seeing Nancy's shocked face, Ogden sneered even more. "Mr. Gordon has brought Hayley to business gatherings before. Everyone knows she's Mr. Gordon's girl. It seems you're the only wife out of the loop." Nancy felt like a bucket of cold water poured over her head, mockery the only thing left in her eyes. No wonder Ogden knew about Hayley. It turned out all business partners were aware except her! Cyrus treated her like a fool!

Looking at Nancy's pale face, Ogden felt an indescribable sense of shatter. Perhaps from the alcohol or some other reason, a violent desire to possess Nancy surged within him.

Unable to help himself, Ogden swallowed hard. "Nancy, you're so beautiful. Cyrus doesn't know what he's got. Come to me, and I'll treat you right, not to mention... in the world of the rich and the common, once you're halfway through life, isn't it all about playing your own game..."

He lunged at Nancy after his words.

Nancy, her face filled with disgust and anger, watched Ogden approach.

And then, she slapped him hard. The sound echoed. Snap!noveldrama

Ogden was stunned, his right cheek swelling up, with disbelief in his eyes. "You... you dare hit me! Bitch, believe it or not, I won't sign the contract. Let's see how Mr. Gordon will kick you out then!"

"You think being a housewife can keep a man's heart? Hayley's pregnant with Mr. Gordon's child. She'll kick you out of the Gordon family sooner or later. Nancy, if you had any sense, you'd sign this contract. Maybe Mr. Gordon will give you some money. Otherwise, even if you beg me, I won't give you the time of day!"

Nancy looked at Ogden coldly. "Have some self-awareness. Just the sight of your vile face disgusts me." Ogden's face fell, but before he could continue, Nancy cut him off, "As for what you just said, I'll be sure to relay every word to Cyrus. So, he has a mistress, and she's even pregnant."

With that, Nancy grabbed her purse and turned to leave, her heart filled with nothing but loathing for Cyrus.

Nancy could come to terms with Cyrus having someone else and even having a child with them, and that he made her feel like a fool. But she would never stand for Cyrus degrading her like this, leaving her to fend off harassment while he lived a sweet life with his mistress!

Why had she ever agreed to marry a beast like Cyrus?

Watching Nancy walk away, Ogden panicked. Cyrus had cleared that bringing Hayley's issue to Nancy was off-limits, and he wouldn't let it slide!

Ogden regretted spilling the beans. Why had he mentioned it?

With that, Ogden hurried after Nancy, catching up in a moment, his hands reaching to tear at Nancy's clothes.

"If you tear these clothes, you won't be able to leave!"

"Nancy, who permitted you to tell Mr. Gordon? If you tell Cyrus, you'll get yourself kicked out faster. If you are with me, even if Cyrus divorces you, I can still look out for you outside!"

Upon hearing her clothes ripping, Nancy's expression changed dramatically. Her fingers clenched into a fist, and as she was about to strike...

Bang! Someone had the tightly shut door kicked open.

Interrupted, Nancy and Ogden instinctively looked up, especially Nancy, who hadn't reacted yet when she suddenly got pulled into a warm embrace.
