NovelUpdateChapter 194 "This guy's not even as good as Judson," Cyrus shot a cold glance towards Lenard. "You're Nancy's junior, so I'll let it slide, but this isn't your place to speak.' "What did you say? Are you looking for trouble?" Lenard's face darkened immediately, and he rolled up his sleeves without a second thought.
Cyrus remained calm, his expression unchanging. "You're still young. I shouldn't have to repeat myself." "You!" Lenard's anger flared up, ready to explode.
But before he could act, someone grabbed his wrist tightly.

Their eyes met, and Nancy shook her head slightly. "Don't bother with people who don't matter. It's not worth making a scene." "Yeah, junior," Judson chimed in with a smirk that didn't quite reach his eyes. "Don't let yourself be led astray by people like that." Cyrus felt a surge of frustration rise within him. Who was Judson to call him irrelevant? But before he could voice his indignation, Louis, a well-dressed man standing next to Sarah, intervened. "No need to get upset, Mr. Lenard. Mr. Gordon is just joking around. Mr. Gordon, weren't you planning to have a private word with Mr. Buchanan?" Cyrus took a deep breath, trying to rein in his temper. His sharp gaze landed squarely on Judson. "Do you dare to have a private chat with me?" Nancy frowned, her concern evident. "Judson..." "Of course I dare. I'm just worried you won't," Judson replied, a playful challenge in his eyes.
Their gazes locked again, a silent battle of wills playing out between them.
"Judson," Nancy's tone was disapproving, her message clear.
She didn't want them to talk.
Judson took her hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "Nancy, trust me, alright? I'll still love you after this chat.' "But..." Nancy's eyes were full of worry.
Judson chuckled softly. "Nancy, believe in me, will you? I'll be right back." Nancy knew that once Judson made up his mind, there was no changing it. She nodded reluctantly, her expression complex. "Alright, go on then." She watched them walk away, her heart heavy with concern as if Judson might get eaten alive by Cyrus. Even if Nancy was trying to rile him up on purpose, it seemed her goal was achieved.
As Judson and Cyrus disappeared from view, Nancy turned to Lenard. "Follow them." Lenard hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly. "Don't worry, I'll make sure Judson's safe!" He might not believe Judson would lose, but who knew what a cornered dog might do? Lenard glanced over at Sarah and her brother Louis. "But what about them when I leave?" Louis quickly assured him, "Don't worry, Lenard. I have the utmost respect for Miss Lena." Nancy ignored Louis, instead focusing on Lenard. "I'll be fine. There are plenty of people around, and Louis isn't about to eat me.' "But..." Lenard started to protest.

"Miss Lena, why did Mr. Buchanan leave with Cyrus?" Neil asked walking m g over with a puzzled look. "They went to have a talk. They'll be back soon," Nancy replied honestly.
Relieved, Lenard finally felt comfortable enough to go afterm Cyrus and Judson. if things got heated, he was ready to back Judson up, no matter what. "Mr. Louis, Miss Sarah, what brings you here? I figured even with an invitation, you'd skip this event," Neil sneered.
Sarah's face flushed with embarrassment.
Louis, however, chuckled softly. "I was eager to meet Miss Lena, and Sarah wanted to clear up smisunderstandings with her. She cspecifically to apologize."
