The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow novel Chapter 262

Ramona's expression didn't waver as she said, "Mr. Gordon, you're here early. We just finished tidying up."

Cyrus barely registered Ramona's sarcasm, his attention fully on Nancy, especially when he noticed the men's jacket draped over her shoulders.

His heart pounded wildly. "Nancy, whose jacket is that? Did someone do something to you...?"

Nancy turned her gaze away coolly. "What does it matter to you?"

"Of course it matters. You're my wife." Cyrus' voice was filled with urgency as he took in her distant demeanor.

He moved to push past Ramona, intending to grab Nancy by the shoulder.

Ramona's expression darkened, her fingers curled into a fist, ready to retaliate.

"Nancy isn't your wife. And no woman deserves a husband who consorts with the enemy."

A cold, deep voice cut through the tension.

Cyrus quickly looked up to see Judson standing there with an indifferent gaze, Michael lounging casually beside him.

Cyrus clenched his fists tightly. "Judson, what do you mean by that?"

"Are you truly that clueless, or just pretending?" Judson shot back sharply, stepping protectively beside Nancy.

Cyrus was momentarily stunned, struggling to process the situation.

Suddenly, a taxi screeched to a halt.

The next moment, Ember emerged with two children, rushing towards Nancy and Ramona, dropping to her knees before them.

"Ramona, Miss Lena, I was wrong. It was a moment of madness. Please, let John go. These gentlemen saved you; you must not have been... harmed."

Nancy and Ramona's expressions grew stern.

Cyrus was visibly shocked, his skin prickling with anxiety. "What do you mean by that?"

But no one answered him.

Ramona chuckled darkly, grabbing Ember by the hair, forcing her to look up.

Staring into Ramona's cold eyes, Ember felt as if a bucket of ice water had been dumped over her, leaving her trembling uncontrollably.

"Ramona..."

"Don't call me by name. You're not worthy."
