Chapter 71

Norton was smitten with Nancy since Cyrus brought her to their first gathering.

He had seen plenty of attractive women, but none quite like Nancy, with her stunning, delicate beauty. But what truly set her apart was her exceptional, icy demeanor. She was proud, aloof, and unreachable as the moon in the sky.

Nancy had finally left Cyrus!

"Man, you need to talk some sense into Cyrus," a rich kid sidled up to Norton and whispered, "The guy will drink himself into oblivion at this rate. And Nancy, man, she's just being silly. Why get all hung up on being faithful? Hayley's just a fling. She could never take Nancy's place. We're talking about Mrs. Gordon here."

Norton glanced at the guy, then at Cyrus, drowning his sorrows in alcohol.

A smirk played on Norton's lips. "You're right. Fetch the star of tonight's show."

"Hey, let's lighten the mood for Cyrus and help him forget all this drama," the rich kid said with a giddy laugh, knowing how they usually dealt with emotional turmoil.
