The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow novel Chapter 165

Cyrus felt the heat drain from his face as he listened to Nancy's words.

He looked at her, almost in disbelief. "Nancy, what did you just say..."

She was leaving him. How could this happen...

But Nancy didn't want to look at Cyrus any longer. She grabbed Judson's hand without hesitation.

"Let's go."

Judson nodded eagerly. "Yes." He'd never wanted Nancy alone with Cyrus anyway, because Cyrus didn't deserve her.

Watching Nancy and Judson walk away, Cyrus finally panicked. He struggled to get up from his seat.

"Nancy, you can't just leave. You need to explain..."

But before he could finish his plea, Michael stepped in front of him, a mocking grin on his face. "She's gone, man. You can yell all you want, but she won't hear you."

Cyrus glared at the man blocking his path, his face contorted with fury as he roared, "Get out of my way!" His deep voice brimmed with barely concealed rage and menace. Anyone else would've backed down by now.

Michael chuckled, amused. "You're causing trouble on my turf, and you're telling me to leave? Cyrus, this is the Ardenweald Auction House. Open your eyes and see who you're talking to."

As he finished, the smirk disappeared from Michael's face, replaced by a steely determination.

Their gazes clashed, and the tension between them was palpable.

Cyrus glared coldly at Michael. "Mr. Ferguson, the Ferguson family is looking to expand domestically, right?"

A threat? Michael understood exactly what Cyrus was implying, but he shrugged it off, unfazed. "It doesn't matter. While you're in my territory, you'd better behave."

He shifted gears smoothly. "You like to treat Lena like she's clueless, but she's not. I'm not either. You know damn well what you've done."

Cyrus stayed silent.

"Mr. Gordon, it's time for you to leave," Michael said, stepping aside with a dismissive wave.
