Wendy’s hand flew to her mouth in shock.
So, she’d been right all along.
Judy really was that kind of woman.
She already had her brother, and yet here she was, still tangled up with her ex.
The realization made Wendy’s eyes darken with fury.
She quickly began recording the scene, determined to show her brother exactly what kind of woman Judy was.
She had never liked Judy from the start.
Despite depending on her brother for everything, living under their roof and relying on him for support, Judy always acted as if she were above everyone else.
Wendy couldn’t understand where that arrogance came from.
She zoomed in little by little, making sure the video would be perfectly clear when her brother saw it.
Yes, this woman was nothing but a flirt.
Her instincts had been right about her from the very beginning.
Even her face gave off a bad impression.
And the way she treated her boyfriend—so on and off, never really consistent—it was clear to Wendy that he was the only one actually committed to that relationship.
No wonder she despised Judy so much.
The woman had been freeloading in their home while her brother, like a fool, gave her everything.
And now, she had the nerve to sneak out and meet another man.
The more Wendy thought about it, the more she fumed.
Even if her brother was on the verge of breaking up with Judy, she still couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.
No matter what, her brother had always treated her well.
Meanwhile, neither Joseph nor Judy realized they were being watched from afar.
The two of them were still caught up in their own confrontation.
From now on, she would focus on building a life with Kenneth.
The future didn’t have to be bleak.
Her studio was growing rapidly.
There was nothing to fear.
This man, after all, was no longer a threat.
Judy exhaled deeply, feeling a dull heaviness settle over her. Why were there always so many people standing in the way of her dreams?
All she wanted was a simple, steady life—a life of purpose and peace.
Why did Joseph have to keep reappearing, disrupting everything?
They had no connection anymore, so what was the point?
The thought made her almost laugh.
Once, she had truly loved Joseph with all her heart.
