The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow novel Chapter 168

"Who doesn't know Miss Lena just teamed up with NY? Relax, Mr. Green said he'd sort it out for you."

Nancy sat on the couch, appearing completely unfazed. She was just about to speak when Judson approached with a plate of freshly washed strawberries. "Nancy, have some fruit," he offered.

"Hold on a sec." Nancy glanced at Judson before turning back to the phone. "Mr. Neil, does Mr. Green know me? It seems like he's stood up for me more than once."

Neil sounded a bit caught off guard. "Uh, not really... I mean..."

Judson's expression remained calm, but there was a subtle shift in his gaze. Silently, he peeled an orange and handed it to Nancy.

The atmosphere suddenly felt a bit tense.

Nancy took the orange but didn't eat it right away. Instead, she said seriously, "I've heard about Mr. Green's way of handling things. He's not exactly known for being so... benevolent."

"No, he really is benevolent!" Neil, aware that Judson was right there with Nancy, quickly defended. "Miss Lena, you must be mistaken about Mr. Green. He has a soft spot for talented individuals, and Miss Lena, you are definitely one of them."

"So it's only natural for Mr. Green to have your back! It's getting late, I won't interrupt your time with Judson any longer."

With that, Neil hastily hung up.

Nancy listened to the dial tone, feeling a lingering sense of oddness. Was it really no problem?

After all, Evergreen Global's reputation in the industry wasn't exactly on the kind-hearted side.

Before Nancy could dwell on it, she felt a weight on her shoulder.

She looked down to find Judson leaning against her, eyes wide and cheeks puffed in mock annoyance. "Nancy, I'm your husband. Stop thinking about other men!"
