The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow novel Chapter 33

Nancy's face darkened as she caught Ogden's malevolent gaze, leaving a wave of disgust in her heart.

That scoundrel Cyrus! He had left her to deal with Ogden, a notoriously slippery man, all because he had to chase after Hayley! Was Hayley that important?

Nancy coldly grabbed her purse, but Ogden seized her delicate wrist the next moment.

Smelling the faint perfume on Nancy, greed shone undisguised in Ogden's eyes. "What's this, Mrs. Gordon? Planning on grabbing your bag and leaving? Mr. Gordon has entrusted you to sign the contract."

Feeling the warmth of Ogden's hand on her wrist, Nancy quickly shook it off in disgust.

Her face soured. "Mr. Smith, have you had too much to drink? Or do you need me to call Cyrus so he can come and sign this contract himself?"

She was, after all, Cyrus' wife in name. And this man dared to lay a hand on her!

Seeing Nancy's anger, Ogden wasn't flustered. Instead, he flashed a yellow-toothed grin. "Do you think you can even reach Mr. Gordon? He's off with his little mistress now."

Nancy's gaze faltered. How did Ogden know about this?

Seeing Nancy's shocked face, Ogden sneered even more. "Mr. Gordon has brought Hayley to business gatherings before. Everyone knows she's Mr. Gordon's girl. It seems you're the only wife out of the loop."

Nancy felt like a bucket of cold water poured over her head, mockery the only thing left in her eyes. No wonder Ogden knew about Hayley. It turned out all business partners were aware except her! Cyrus treated her like a fool!

Looking at Nancy's pale face, Ogden felt an indescribable sense of shatter. Perhaps from the alcohol or some other reason, a violent desire to possess Nancy surged within him.

Unable to help himself, Ogden swallowed hard. "Nancy, you're so beautiful. Cyrus doesn't know what he's got. Come to me, and I'll treat you right, not to mention... in the world of the rich and the common, once you're halfway through life, isn't it all about playing your own game..."

He lunged at Nancy after his words.

Nancy, her face filled with disgust and anger, watched Ogden approach.
