The ringing in Nancy’s ears made it hard for her to think. She couldn’t understand how she had once again found herself in a hopeless situation.
It was as though every incident that had happened so far had been calculated and meticulously premeditated so that Nancy would fall right into their trap.
Nancy wouldn’t be able to do anything as she was met with her downfall. Any attempts at self- preservation would be pointless.
“We hope you’ll cooperate with us, Ms. Stanton.” The man placed the court’s notice on the table. “The deadline for when you are expected to fulfill your obligations is stated here in detail. If you refuse to cooperate, we’ll have to get you forcibly evicted from this property later on.”
These men came here to notify Nancy about the seizure of her property and to take care of the relevant procedures. (1
The property was thereby restricted from being put up for sale or used as collateral for a mortgage. This way, they could effectively prevent the debtor from secretly selling the property to another party.
Nancy had even lost her last resort. It shattered the last bit of hope she had been holding onto in her
heart.
She plopped down on the couch, consumed by despair and powerlessness.
Nancy couldn’t possibly not see it at this point. Since the beginning, she was nothing but a simple being that Jayson could easily crush under his feet.
She broke out in cold sweat thinking about how frighteningly smart and calculating Jayson was.
She felt as though she was about to suffocate. The feeling was so horrible that Nancy felt like she was
driven to the brink of having a breakdown.
The group of men was here to notify the Stantons about the seizure of their property. It did not concern
them what the Stantons had done to lead to this. Soon enough, they left the place.
A heavy silence lingered in the air. The only sound they could hear was the pitter–patter of the rain coming from outside, which felt ironically fitting for their current situation. The two of them were in a pitiful state.
Sarah eventually came to her senses. She darted toward Nancy. “Have you talked to Jayson? Why has he suddenly requested a property repossession? Is he…”
She couldn’t bring herself to voice her suspicions. Sarah felt gripped by a sense of fear.
Nancy’s eyes were red. Several strands of hair were stuck to her cheeks. She had lost her usual radiance

and confidence as she sat there, unmoving, in a daze.

Sarah raised her voice abruptly. “What on earth is happening? Isn’t the house ours? What does he expect us to do by seizing the property at a time like this?”
Nancy finally snapped out of her daze.
She felt extremely troubled as she was forced to face reality. Nancy could no longer deny the fact that Jayson was a man she should never dream of coveting. (1
She had never managed to understand him. Without even realizing it, she ended up on the path of
destruction.
Nancy understood why Perry and the others had refused to help her. Most enterprises sought to maintain a positive relationship with a successful company like Bluum Corp.
With all things considered, none of them would want to get involved and put themselves in such a delicate position. 1
“We’re screwed…” Nancy’s mouth went dry. “Jayson won’t bother about what happens to us anymore. He never really wanted to help me. This time… we’re completely screwed.” 2
Jayson even accurately predicted that she would sell the house right away to secure some funds.
His timing was impeccable. He made sure that Nancy would witness everything she had wanted crumble and fall apart bit by bit before her.
Nancy was forced to witness her own fall from grace. That was the worst kind of torment one could put
someone through mentally.
Regardless of what the reason might be, whether Jayson had forsaken Nancy out of personal interest or he had, for certain reasons, decided to trample all over her, Jayson was slowly showing that scary side of
him.
Yet, he remained completely aloof and nonchalant about it. Jayson easily had Nancy under his thumb.
Nancy realized how cruel and merciless Jayson was now. 2
With a bewildered look on her face, Sarah plopped onto the couch. She felt like she was about to go insane upon learning about the unexpected turn of events.
Nancy’s eyes burned with fury. The fact that Jayson had never liked her was what bothered her the most.
Unfortunately, she was facing various issues that could potentially ruin her life forever. Yet, Nancy could no longer seek Jayson’s help.
It seemed like the only way left now was to…

Nancy flinched.
She could barely conceal the resentment in her eyes as an idea came to her. Nancy had no choice but to suppress her anger and indignation for now. 2
Ariel had taken a day off. She had been under a lot of pressure lately. She probably wouldn’t have been able to hold out for so long if it weren’t for Liam having made the necessary adjustments to her prescriptions accordingly.
Ariel had received numerous phone calls during the last couple of days. She could sense everyone’s eagerness to meet her, including seasoned experts from their industry, business owners, and even government officials.
Top media agencies had also attempted to schedule an interview with Ariel. However, she turned down
those requests.
