Chapter 50
“My wife doesn’t owe you the chance to prove your love to her!” The chilling, deep voice suddenly filled the room, clearly laced with frost, causing the air to freeze.
Nancy looked up, startled as if sensing something, and her gaze met the tall figure striding in from the doorway.
“Oh, come on! Judson? What’s he doing here?” Nancy wondered.
Judson was undeniably handsome. His features were cold and distant, exuding an icy demeanor that seemed out of this world.
Orlando, kneeling on the stage, looked up at Judson’s sudden appearance, especially recalling the words Judson had just said.
Instantly, Orlando was fuming. “Who are you calling your wife, huh? Lena’s not your wife.”
He knew Lena had come overseas to finalize her divorce back home! Otherwise, he would never have made his
move.
Judson’s gaze turned colder, and he stepped toward Orlando with an intimidating presence.
Nancy instantly sensed trouble and tried to step in, but it was too late.
Judson’s foot landed heavily on Orlando’s shoulder, knocking him off the stage with incredible speed. The next moment, Judson leaped down, grabbed Orlando by the collar, and his fist connected with Orlando’s face.
His strike was fast, fierce, and precise, leaving no chance for retaliation.
The bystanders were shocked, but Nancy acted fast, rushing forward to place a hand on Judson’s shoulder. “Judson, stop it!” she said firmly.
Hearing Nancy’s plea, Judson’s fist paused mid–air as he was about to look up at her.
Orlando seized the moment, throwing a punch that landed squarely on Judson’s face.
With a bleeding lip, Judson paid no attention to Orlando but turned a wronged gaze toward Nancy. “Babe, he hit me, and it hurts!”
His face was swollen and bloody, and Orlando was speechless. The onlookers were equally speechless. Wait, who’s hitting who there?
Orlando was seething, feeling every bit of pain on his face. “Lena, who the heck is this lunatic?”
Before Nancy could reply, Judson interrupted coldly, “I’m her husband, Judson. And she’s not Lena. She’s Nancy.”
“I know Lena’s name back home! Did I ask you to tell me that?” Orlando roared back.
Turning to Nancy, he demanded, “This psycho can’t be your husband, right?”
“Babe, don’t listen to his nonsense!” Judson hastily stood up, trying to reach for Nancy’s hand.
But Nancy stepped back, looking at Judson with an injured face, then at Orlando’s bruised one, and finally at the ruined roses. She felt a deep, unexplainable tiredness.
*Orlando, things with him are complicated, but I’m also turning down your confession.”
Nancy then turned to Winnie, saying. “Can you take Orlando to the hospital? Charge any damages to my account. Everyone, please continue enjoying the party. I need to leave.”
She came to Ardenweald to pursue her career, not to entertain these men’s antics!
Watching Nancy leave in a huff, Judson hurried after her. “Babe, wait for me…”

Winnie approached Orlando with a disgruntled tone, “I told you Lena wasn’t interested. Look at the mess
made.”

Thinking of Judson calling Lena his wife, Orlando was furious. Damn it, he had lost Nancy once. Was he about to lose her to someone else again? No, that was impossible! He was determined to find out who this man was!
The car abruptly stopped. Nancy hurried into the villa, not waiting for Judson, who was still in the car.
Bang! As the door closed, a foot from the outside wedged itself against it, preventing it from shutting.
