Chapter 106 Michael's eyes widened in shock, as if he'd just uncovered a deep secret. "Wait a minute, Nancy is the one you've been pining over for years, isn't she?" Judson shot him a disdainful look, his voice dripping with contempt. "You're such an idiot. Next time, don't tell anyone you know me." Michael was left speechless.
Damn! No wonder Judson pretended to have memory loss just to stay close to Nancy. It turns out Nancy was the one Judson had been yearning for all these years.
Michael barely had tto process this revelation before Neil approached Judson from behind, speaking tentatively, "Mr. Buchanan, it's almost tfor you to go on stage." Judson's expression remained indifferent, his gaze never leaving Nancy. "Go ahead," he instructed. "Make sure everyone understands that Nancy is not someone to be taken lightly or spoken ill of." Neil nodded quickly. "Yes, sir." When the president of Evergreen Global gave a directive, who would dare to defy it? In their circle, offending Michael might leave you with a slim chance of survival, but crossing Evergreen Global's leader was a guaranteed downfall.

Lucy's face twisted with anger as she ground her teeth, "Lena, you must have something to do with the Ryan family's troubles. You've got quite the allure, getting Baldrick to go this far for you." Nancy kept her cool, her face calm. "You should really have sproof before you open your mouth. Or has Susan been spreading lies again?" "What's it to you?" Lucy snapped, her frustration evident. "Lena, don't get too smug. Do you really think Baldrick will marry you? He's just toying with you. The title of Mrs. Robertson will be mine eventually!" Nancy's eyes narrowed dangerously: "Whether Baldrick and I end up together isn't for you to decide. But one thing I know for sure, you can't even step foot in The Sandro Group, so I'd love to see how you becMrs. Robertson." "You!!" Lucy's rationality vanished in an instant, ready to lash out verbally.
But she was suddenly struck by Nancy's clear, unyielding gaze, devoid of warmth.
For reasons she couldn't comprehend, it felt like a cold bucket of water had been dumped over her, and fear began to creep into her heart.
Nancy's tone was icy: "Miss Lucy, you should think carefully before you speak today, representing your family. Don't overstep and make a spectacle out of yourself." The sharp words left Lucy pale, incapable of a retort.
With a sharp click, the lights went out.
Instantly, all eyes turned to the stage.
Neil was already there, his laughter resonating through the room: "It's a great honor to represent Evergreen Global and speak to you all today. Thank you for attending this business conference." Then, with a shift in tone, Neil continued, "On such a joyous occasion, Evergreen Global is thrilled to announce sexciting news. Our headquarters has decided to enter into a permanent partnership with Lena's Stufor jewelry!" "And this announcement comes directly from my superior, the president of Evergreen Global! Miss Lena, our president is very impressed with your talent. As long as you stay, he will not waver in his support for you." The room erupted in astonishment.

Before Nancy could gather her thoughts, a spotlight suddenly m illuminated beeted her in that instant, she becthe focus of everyone's gaze.
Every gaze in the room fixated on her, a mix of greed, curiosity and scrutiny in their eyes. Neil smiled and called out, "Miss Lena, could you please join us on stage?" Amidst the envious gazes, Nancy wore a smile: "Of course." She strode confidently onto the stage, standing beside Neil.
Lucy stood in the shadows, watching Nancy bask in the spotlight, seemingly born to captivate om everyone's attention. Her face twisted with unspoken envy and frustration. Just then, someone appeared behind Lucy, speaking so softly only the two of them could hear.
"The preparations are complete, young miss. We'll make sure Lena is utterly disgraced."
