The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow novel Chapter 240

Cyrus abruptly stood up, his voice firm. "Alright, I'll agree to your terms, but you need to send me the dirt over the next few days."

Lucy watched Cyrus, knowing he was as fickle as a New England weather forecast. If she didn't play along, he'd likely change his mind. With a deep breath, she nodded solemnly. "Deal."

Baldrick had just finished sifting through paperwork when his phone buzzed with a call from Nancy. He picked up, not even getting a word in before she spoke.

"Baldrick, Cyrus and Lucy met up."

Baldrick's face remained as calm as a summer's day. "Nancy, you really do know Cyrus well in some respects."

Nancy's fingers paused on the other end. "So, was it you who tipped off The Gordon Group?"

Baldrick chuckled softly. "Nope, I'm not the only one with an axe to grind with Cyrus. But thanks for the heads-up, Nancy."

Nancy's voice had a complex tone as she said, "Alright, I'm going to rest now."

Baldrick had more to say, but before he could get a word out, the call was cut off. Listening to the dial tone, he sighed in mild frustration. Oh well, they'd catch up next time in person.

Before heading out, Baldrick stood up decisively. "Get the car ready. We're going to the hospital."

Time to see if Farley Robertson, that good-for-nothing, would ever be back on his feet to give him any trouble.

"Nancy, I can't stand Baldrick!" Judson exclaimed.

Nancy, calm and collected, didn't even glance up from the magazine spread she was reviewing. "Uh-huh."

Grabbing a small stool, he settled next to her.

Nancy sighed. Well, she had more pressing matters to attend to.

Just as Nancy anticipated, she had no time to be meddling in the Baldrick-Cyrus drama. The NYC runway show and the Ramona charity event were so close together, she was constantly on the move, barely a moment to herself. Even Winnie and Orlando were swept up in the whirlwind of activity.

"The final outfits are in, and they look stunning!" Ramona exclaimed, her eyes bright with excitement.

Turning to Nancy, she couldn't help but gush, "Lena, you truly are a genius. I can't wait for the show next week!"

Nancy received the compliment with a modest smile and then noticed Ramona handing her an invitation.

"Miss Lena, would you do me the honor of being my plus-one tomorrow evening? It'd be a great chance to meet some of the other investors."
