The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow novel Chapter 197

Nancy's face turned pale, and without a second thought, she bolted.

It wasn't just Nancy—Neil's expression changed too, and he broke into a run without hesitation.

Mr. Buchanan wouldn't seriously harm Cyrus, would he?

After all, their boss had a reputation from his days in the military.

Meanwhile, on the second floor.

Lenard lunged forward, grabbing Cyrus from behind and locking him in a tight hold. He shot a desperate look at Judson. "I've got him! Go on, hit him!"

Cyrus scowled, glaring at Lenard. "Let go!"

Lenard sneered, showing his teeth. "Why should I listen to you? If you've got the guts, hit me!"

Cyrus narrowed his eyes, gearing up to shout, but before he could, Judson's fist came flying toward him. Without hesitating, Cyrus lifted his leg and delivered a swift kick to Judson's chest.

Judson was just about to sidestep when an angry voice rang out from below. "Stop it, all of you!"

With the voice's command, Judson shot Cyrus a cold smile.

Cyrus realized something was off, but it was too late to pull back his kick. His foot connected with Judson's chest.

Judson lost his balance and stumbled backward, missing a step on the staircase and tumbling down with a loud crash.

"Judson!" Lenard's eyes widened in shock, his voice cracking with panic.

Cyrus' mind went blank. Did he really kick Judson that hard?

Judson was playing him!

Before Cyrus could gather his thoughts, Judson lay sprawled at the foot of the stairs.

Nancy lost all composure in an instant, rushing to Judson's side.

"Judson, are you okay?!"

Judson's face was smeared with blood. Hearing Nancy's trembling voice, he lifted his head, eyes red. "Nancy, I'm fine... just my leg hurts a little..."

His leg!
