The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow by Helena R. Bates

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?
