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

Chapter 55

Nancy watched Judson's worried face, feeling a sting in her heart. "Don't worry. It doesn't hurt,"

Before Lena could respond, Ann, seething with jealousy, interrupted. "Hey, handsome, don't waste your pity on this tramp. She cheated on you! She seduced my boyfriend!"

'Why does Lena get all the attention from such a hot guy!' Ann fumed.

"Handsome, my boyfriend's Orlando. And I'm the one his parents want him to marry! But last night, Orlando confessed his love to Lena. She must've been throwing herself at him! You need to dump her ASAP!"

Judson's gaze snapped up, and his eyes were cold as he looked at Ann. "My wife wouldn't even spare me a second glance, let alone be interested in a loser like Orlando."

Ann felt an invisible pressure from Judson's piercing gaze, making it breathless. But she remembered she wasn't alone.

"What do you mean by that?"

Judson stepped forward, his presence icy and fierce. "What do you think? You hit my wife, didn't you?"
