Chapter 165
Cyrus felt the heat drain from his face as he listened to Nancy’s words.
He looked at her, almost in disbelief. “Nancy, what did you just say…”
She was leaving him. How could this happen…
But Nancy didn’t want to look at Cyrus any longer. She grabbed Judson’s hand without hesitation.
“Let’s go.”
Judson nodded eagerly. “Yes.” He’d never wanted Nancy alone with Cyrus anyway, because Cyrus didn’t deserve
her.
Watching Nancy and Judson walk away, Cyrus finally panicked. He struggled to get up from his seat.
“Nancy, you can’t just leave. You need to explain…”
But before he could finish his plea, Michael stepped in front of him, a mocking grin on his face. “She’s gone, man. You can yell all you want, but she won’t hear you.”
Cyrus glared at the man blocking his path, his face contorted with fury as he roared, “Get out of my way!” His deep voice brimmed with barely concealed rage and menace. Anyone else would’ve backed down by now.
Michael chuckled, amused. “You’re causing trouble on my turf, and you’re telling me to leave? Cyrus, this is the Ardenweald Auction House. Open your eyes and see who you’re talking to.”
As he finished, the smirk disappeared from Michael’s face, replaced by a steely determination.
Their gazes clashed, and the tension between them was palpable.
Cyrus glared coldly at Michael. “Mr. Ferguson, the Ferguson family is looking to expand domestically, right?”
A threat? Michael understood exactly what Cyrus was implying, but he shrugged it off, unfazed. “It doesn’t matter. While you’re in my territory, you’d better behave.”
He shifted gears smoothly. “You like to treat Lena like she’s clueless, but she’s not. I’m not either. You know damn well what you’ve done.”
Cyrus stayed silent.
“Mr. Gordon, it’s time for you to leave,” Michael said, stepping aside with a dismissive wave.
Cyrus shot Michael a dark look, pressed his lips together, and walked away.
As Cyrus disappeared from view, Michael allowed himself a cold chuckle.
Judson should’ve taken Nancy away by now.
“Hey, what happened to your face?” Sarah’s voice cut through the air as she rushed over, her expression turning to shock.
Seeing Cyrus with his bruised face, she couldn’t hide her concern.
Cyrus pressed his lips together. “It’s nothing.”
“Nothing? Seriously?” Sarah’s voice was on the verge of tears as she grabbed his hand, sensing something.
“Lena did this, didn’t she?”
That witch!
No wonder she’d been so anxious waiting for him. She knew Lena wasn’t someone to be taken lightly. While Sarah seethed with anger, Cyrus was merely annoyed.
“I told you, it’s nothing. It’s none of your business.” Cyrus shook her hand off. “I have things to do, I’m leaving.”

With that, he walked away.
Sarah stood there, clenching her fists, her eyes full of cold determination.
That witch Lena! Just wait, she wouldn’t let Lena get away with this.
Her phone rang suddenly. Sarah answered, irritation in her voice. “Dad, what do you want?”
in the car.
Judson looked at Nancy with deep concern, his eyes red with emotion.
