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

Chapter 261

Judson's gaze faltered for a moment before he snapped back to reality and tightly embraced Nancy. "I can."

Not just Judson, but Michael and Ramona also breathed a sigh of relief.

Michael's eyes gleamed with resolve. "That's how it should be. How can we not fight back when we're bullied? Letting them off would be too easy."

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you outside," Nancy said, gently patting Judson on the back.

Judson nodded almost imperceptibly before releasing Nancy from his embrace. Nancy climbed off the bed, and in the next moment, Ramona linked arms with her.

Ramona blinked. "I'm scared."

"Don't be. It's all over now," Nancy reassured her, holding Ramona's hand as they walked out together.

Michael was taken aback. Even as Ramona and Nancy left, he still couldn't quite process what had happened.

"Judson, did I hear wrong? Did Ramona, of all people, just admit she was scared? She must be pretending. Does she want to be an actress now?" Michael asked incredulously.

Judson ignored him and walked over to where John lay unconscious.

The memory of kicking the door open and seeing John pinning Nancy down, even trying to kiss her, surged back, filling Judson with rage.

He drew his gun and fired at John.
