The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow novel Chapter 156

Cyrus took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves. "You're right. Just because she's staying at a hotel doesn't mean anything. Let's go check it out."

Caleb nodded swiftly. "Yes."

However, by the time Cyrus and Caleb arrived half an hour later, Nancy had already checked out. They rushed to Nancy's studio next but spent the entire day staked out without spotting either Nancy or Judson.

"Damn it, where on earth did Nancy take Judson?" Cyrus growled in frustration, feeling more helpless than ever before.

Caleb could only shiver, too intimidated to utter a word.

Just then, Cyrus' phone rang.

With a stern expression, Cyrus answered it, but before he could say anything, a voice chirped through.

"Cyrus, don't forget the auction's starting soon. See you there!"

Cyrus grunted in acknowledgment before hanging up.

As the line went dead, Cyrus' sharp gaze fixated on Caleb once more.

"Find out where Judson and Nancy went. I'm heading to the auction to get Nancy a gift."

In the past, when Nancy was upset with him, she'd ignore him for a week. To win her back, he'd often visited auctions, picking up unique trinkets, even a rare shade of paint once, to appease her.

"Yes," Caleb nodded quickly.

With that, Cyrus turned on his heel and left.

Meanwhile, at NY Corp...

"Miss Lena, your designs always bring tears to my eyes!" Neil exclaimed sincerely.

Nancy chuckled softly, "If just seeing the designs makes you tear up, you better brace yourself for the real deal."

She hadn't finished her sentence when Judson chimed in with a tease, "If just the designs bring you to tears, won't the real thing just blind you?"

Neil was left speechless.

"Judson and the missus are gone, huh?"

A laid-back voice called out.

Neil turned to see a striking man approaching. "Yes, Mr. Ferguson. Mr. Buchanan took Miss Lena to the auction."

Auction? Michael's eyes sparkled with interest. Could it be the same auction Cyrus was attending?

Perfect. This was a spectacle he simply couldn't afford to miss.

-

The Spark Auction was a highlight on the social calendar, one of the top charity events around. A significant portion of the proceeds was donated to those in need, attracting a large and enthusiastic crowd.

As Judson and Nancy entered, they immediately attracted attention. A striking couple always turned heads, but their combined elegance and poise made them seem like they were meant to be together.

Just then, an angry voice cut through the crowd. "Nancy, how dare you bring Judson here!"
