Chapter 72 "Yeah, I have a thing for Nancy! But I didn't make any moves on her. You drove her away. What gives you the right to get all fired up like this?" "Because I'm Nancy's husband!" Cyrus roared. "Norton, who do you think you are, coveting my woman?" With that, he swung his fist again.
This time, Norton was pissed, too. Dodging to the side, he snapped, "Cyrus, do you think I'm scared of you? If you don't cherish Nancy, plenty will." As the last word fell, he also raised his fist and swung. The two exchanged blows, fists meeting flesh in a no- holds-barred scuffle.

It finally halted when the police showed up and took them away, ending the . The news of Cyrus and Norton's fight spread like wildfire, shocking the entire community. It beccommon knowledge that Nancy had cut ties and left, wanting nothing more to do with Cyrus.
Meanwhile, Nancy was oblivious to Cyrus' chaos as her focus was entirely on her design drafts. Her collaboration with the Sandro Group was unexpected, but she knew she had to show sincerity, no matter what.
Judson wrapped his arms around Nancy's slender waist the following morning, reluctant to let go. "Babe, are you still intowhen you get back?" Nancy was exasperated. "I'm going for a partnership talk, not leaving for good." "Just a partnership talk? Why couldn't you takewith you?" Judson got increasingly irate, pointing accusatorily at Lenard in the car. "And why bring him? He looks like he could use a vitamin boost." Lenard was stunned. "Who are you calling vitamin-deficient?" Then, turning to Nancy, he pleaded, "Nancy, can you deal with him? He's slandering me!" Caught between Judson and Lenard's pleas for justice, Nancy felt a wave of exhaustion wash over her. "Enough, both of you," she said as she pried Judson's hands from her waist. "Judson, stay hand take care of things. I'll be back soon." "I'll make dinner and wait for you!" Judson clung to Nancy tighter, almost his entire weight pressing down on her. Nancy couldn't help but nod, resigned. "I'll make it back before dinner. I promise." Only then did Judson grudgingly let go, warning, "You said it. Liars end up with long noses!" "Don't worry. I'll be back for dinner," Nancy reassured him before getting into the car. Lenard drove off immediately.
Judson watched the car disappear, his childish demeanor vanishing in an instant, replaced by a cold, detached expression. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number without hesitation, determination etched on his face.
"The NY Networking Conference partnership goes to Lena." Judson thought, 'The Sandro Group? Who do they think they are, trying to compete withfor Nancy? I'm her biggest backer.' At the Philly's Clubhouse, recalling Judson's reluctance to part with Nancy, Lenard teased, "Nancy, Judson seems pretty into you. Why not take advantage of his memory loss and make it official? You two would make a good-looking couple, and imagine how beautiful your kids would be." Nancy shot Lenard a warning glance. "Stop it. That's not happening. Judson and I are strangers. Once he regains his memory, he'll leave." Lenard shrugged, unconvinced. Despite Judson's childishness around Nancy, his possessiveness was unmistakable. But Nancy was oblivious to these subtleties.
Right then, securing the deal with the Sandro Group was the priority.

As Lenard opened the door to the private room, he greeted the young man seated at the head of the table
with a smile. "Mr. Sandro, I've brought Lena as requested. Leng, meet Mr.
Sandro the head of the Sandro Group." With that, Lenard stepped aside.
Nancy emerged from behind him and the man at the table looked up. Their eyes met, and both were momentarily stunned.
"Nancy?" "Baldrick?"
