Chapter 56

Orlando felt a surge of anger, his face contorting with emotion.

Nancy stared at the bandage on Judson's head, falling silent. Truth be told, Judson wasn't much better than Orlando.

But judging solely by appearances, Orlando looked like he'd gotten the worse end of the stick, both eyes blackened as if he'd been in a bar brawl.

After taking a deep breath to calm himself, Orlando quickly turned to Nancy. "Lena, are you okay?" Nancy raised an eyebrow, not bothering to respond.

Kneeling on the ground, Ann broke down. "Orlando, I'm your girlfriend. Why are you so concerned about Lena? Just because I slapped her, look what Lena's husband did to me!"

"What did you say? You dared to hit Lena!" Orlando's gaze shifted from the slap mark on Nancy's face to Ann kneeling on the ground, his face darkening with rage.

"Ann, we're over! And I've refused the arranged marriage with the Harris family. Why would you lay a hand on Lena?"

Ann, visibly furious, shot back, "I won't accept this! You broke up with me because of Lena, didn't you?" "Whether it's because of Lena or not, I don't like you. Can't you understand it?" Orlando's frustration grew as he surveyed the broken furniture around them. "You even dared to trash Lena's studio. Now tell me where you hid the studio staff!"

Before Ann could respond, as if realizing something, Judson whispered urgently to Nancy, "Babe, they're in that room upstairs."

Nancy and Orlando followed Judson's gaze to a storage room on the second floor.
