When Family Became a Place I Couldn’t Return To novel Chapter 304

“What did he do to you?”

Rudy’s brow creased, but he didn’t let it go.

Nancy gave a small laugh and arched a brow. “Why do you care, Rudy? This is my business. What’s in it for me if I tell you?”

“I’ll help you get back at him.” Rudy’s face and voice were both cold. He looked dead serious, which was unusual for him.

“Oh? Are you planning to get him cancelled?” Nancy’s interest was obviously caught. She tilted her head, studying his face.

Rudy finally allowed a small smile. “Maybe.”

Nancy gave a snort. “Come on, the Chandler family might have some pull in the industry, but cancelling someone that popular is just asking for trouble. His backers are powerful. Are you really willing to go to war with them for me?”

“Not necessarily,” Rudy admitted. “But you can tell me what happened. If he really crossed a line, maybe I’ll feel sorry for you.”

“Forget it. I doubt you’re capable of feeling sorry for anyone.”

Nancy blinked, not really surprised. She never expected Rudy to actually help. He just liked poking at her wounds, maybe for his own amusement.

She stood up from the sofa. Rudy was sitting just below her, so when she swung her legs over, they brushed right past his shoulder.

Nancy was only wearing a short silk slip dress, and for a second, everything was on display. She didn’t seem to notice, but Rudy definitely did. His eyes followed her every move.

“Nice color,” he said quietly.

Nancy was pouring herself a glass of water when he spoke, and she almost choked from surprise.

“But not really my type,” Rudy added, standing up slowly and grabbing his jacket.

It was about time for him to leave.

“What does your taste have to do with me…”

Rudy cut her off before she could finish. “I’ll send you my favorite style later.”

Vincent’s girlfriend kept making statements, offering proof that he was loyal and would never cheat.

Soon after, Vincent himself came out with a statement. He said he and Nancy were just colleagues and that he couldn’t comment much on the photos, but people would figure out the truth.

He added that he understood people would do anything for attention these days, but spreading lies was pathetic.

Basically, he was calling Nancy desperate, accusing her of chasing him and leaking the photos for publicity.

Most of the pictures showed Nancy in compromising situations, and even if Vincent’s presence in them was clear, they didn’t actually prove anything happened.

With Vincent’s girlfriend defending him and Nancy staying totally silent, the public sided with him.

“Where’s Nancy?”

As soon as she got to the office, Nelly went around asking everyone.

She couldn’t reach Nancy by phone and figured she’d show up at the office first thing, but Nancy was nowhere to be found.
