Chapter 119 Nancy frowned as she listened to Baldrick speak, her mind drifting back to the faces of Cyrus and Hayley. Even though they hadn't been apart for very long, it felt like forever. So much had changed in her life recently.
Nancy asked coldly, "What's gotten into Cyrus?" Her tone was distant, devoid of concern or worry, which made Baldrick feel a wave of relief.
"Cyrus has put out a reward for you online," Baldrick said.

After a brief pause, he continued, "You probably can't see the trending topics back home. Just check out the link I sent you." Nancy couldn't view any links from back hsince she'd ditched her phone before leaving the country. She had erased her identity, making it impossible even to get a new phone number.
Without hesitation, Nancy hung up the call and opened her messaging app, where she found the link Baldrick had sent.
Her fingers hesitated slightly as she clicked on it, her expression growing serious.
The headline read: #Gordon Group CEO Pleads for Missing Wife# [Cyrus: Everyone, I've upset my wife and now she's gone. I'm putting up a million dollars for any information on where she might be. If you can pinpoint her exact location, I'll pay ten million! Nancy, I made a mistake. Please giveanother chance. You mean everything to me.] The comment section was in an uproar.
After all, everyone loved gossiping about how Cyrus had pursued Nancy and proposed to her a hundred times. Now, here he was, searching for her online.
[A: Oh my gosh, did Mr. Gordon do something to upset Mrs. Gordon? Did she run away because he did her wrong?] Fans of the Cyrus and Nancy pairing quickly chimed in.
[B: You don't get it. This is just Mr. and Mrs. Gordon's little game. Mrs. Gordon is probably hiding to give Mr. Gordon a scare. You guys just don't understand~] [C: No need to worry about their little domestic . The real issue is the money. Mr. Gordon is loaded, and he'll definitely pay up. Let's hurry and find Mrs. Gordon! The more eyes, the better chance of finding her.] As Nancy read through the comments, her expression grew darker, particularly when she cacross Cyrus' post. Her eyes filled with disdain.
How could Cyrus have the nerve to say such things? He's out of his mind. Thank goodness she erased her identity before leaving. Thankfully, Cyrus hadn't released her photo. But what about next time? If he does, with so many people in the world, she'll be exposed eventually.

Nancy's eyes narrowed instinctively only E as she turned to face the speaker, to stagger backward and trip over the carpet.
As she fell, a strong arm wrapped firmly around her waist, pulling her swiftly into Judson's embrace m Judson's scent, mixed with a faint hint of shower gel, filled her senses, making her heart race uncontrollably. She struggled against him, "Judson, let go of me." "Careful there, Nancy. Or did that sleazebag's nonsense get to you too?" Judson teased, feigning exasperation.
Nancy paused her struggles, arching an eyebrow at his words. "Sleazebag?" "Am I wrong?" Judson responded confidently. "To have her by his side and not appreciate her, only to
panic when she's gone? That's like crying over spilled milk or realizing the road's bent after crashing the car. Serves him right."
