The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow novel Chapter 269

On the cruise ship.

Sarah found herself trapped in a metal cage suspended high above the seemingly endless ocean. Her face was a mask of pure terror.

Gazing at Cyrus, who sat smugly in a plush armchair, Sarah's voice trembled with disbelief. "Cyrus, you can't do this to me! Someone at the hotel saw you kidnap me."

When Cyrus had first approached her, she'd thought about exaggerating her story for sympathy. But before she could even speak, he'd knocked her to the ground and dragged her to his car. Everything went black after that, and now she woke to this nightmare.

"Can't do what to you? You really think I don't know about you and John?" Cyrus's handsome face was now twisted with rage. "Sarah, how dare you? Nancy is the love of my life, and you did this to her!"

His voice turned cold and menacing, losing all trace of reason. "Sarah, you'll pay for this."

Seeing the dark, vengeful expression on Cyrus's face, Sarah was truly scared. Just as she opened her mouth to plead, the floor vanished beneath her feet.

She plummeted without warning, her scream piercing the air.

“Ahhhhhhh!!!”

Splash—

Cyrus watched the water ripple where Sarah had disappeared, his face emotionless, almost indifferent.

Anyone who dared to hurt Nancy would face the consequences.

Nancy was jolted awake by the loud ringing of her phone, her mind still foggy with sleep. She didn't even check the caller ID before answering.

"Hello?" she mumbled, still groggy.

"Nancy, are you and Ramona being targeted by Malcolm?" The urgency in her friend Lenard's voice snapped her to attention.

"What?" Nancy replied, her brows furrowing.

"Ramona just announced that the Iverson family will never ally with the Green family, especially not through her marriage to Malcolm. It's all over the headlines."

Nancy quickly checked the trending news.
