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

Chapter 245

As soon as Michael made his unexpected entrance, the room fell into a stunned silence. Nancy, ever the picture of calm, simply pressed her lips together in a thoughtful manner, clearly mulling something over.

Unlike Nancy, Eugene was completely flabbergasted. "Mr. Ferguson, what are you doing here?" he blurted out.

Standing on the staircase, Michael wore a mischievous grin, his gaze casually flicking towards Judson, who was partially concealed behind a column.

Their eyes met, and Michael's grin widened with a playful malice. "If you can be here, why can't I?" he teased.

Eugene's expression changed instantly, and he stammered, "Mr. Ferguson, that's not what I meant."

Despite being younger, Michael's status in their social circle was second only to Evergreen Global. His reputation for ruthless and brutal tactics was well-known. Nobody wanted to provoke someone who could turn on them at a moment's notice.

"Glad to hear it. Now, why don't you get back to your chat with Lena?" Michael suggested, feigning benevolence.

Eugene was speechless. Who would dare continue talking to Lena now? Anyone with half a brain could see that Michael's presence had everything to do with her.

Quickly regaining his composure, Eugene made his excuses, "I just remembered something I need to do, so I'll be leaving now."

Before Nancy could respond, Eugene beat a hasty retreat, as if Nancy were some kind of terrifying beast.
