Watching Amara lose herself in the performance, Jade began to type a single sentence.

“Heaven is watching your performance.”

But before she could hit the button, her phone was suddenly snatched from her hand.

She looked up to see Hudson’s calm, stoic face, and her expression immediately iced over.

“Give me my phone.”

Hudson didn’t, instead locking the screen and sliding the device into his jacket pocket.

“Amara is unwell. Don’t engage with her. Right now, your silence is the only thing protecting you from more attacks.”

Jade listened to his calm, logical explanation for her public execution and let out a cold laugh.

“But you know better than anyone I didn’t lie! That photo is the absolute truth! You’re just being selfish, throwing me under the bus to save your Group and your mistress!”

“We do owe you for this, I won’t deny it.”

Hudson was unable to refute her; he took a bowl and ladled out the chicken soup Emily had

sent.

“But at this point, the only option is to let the storm blow over.”

Although Jade already knew they were cold-blooded, hearing Hudson tell her to just take it without a plan to clear her name made her soul feel frozen.

Figures.

If Hudson or his family had any regard for her at all, they never would have used her as a human shield.

Jade dug her nails into her palms until she left deep crescents in her skin.

She glared at Hudson, her eyes filled with a searing and concentrated hatred.

“Give me my phone.”

Hudson felt a sharp pain in his chest from that stare and reached out to cover her eyes.

“Finish this bowl of soup, and I’ll give it back.”

Jade slapped his hand away, took the bowl from him, and drained it in a single gulp.

“Can I have it now?”

Hudson squeezed the spoon in his fingers; he had wanted to feed her, but she had finished it in seconds.

“You’re pregnant. Don’t drink so fast; it’s bad for your digestion.”

Jade stared at him as if he were a complete stranger she was meeting for the first time.

He had never been this concerned before. Bottom line-he only cared about the baby.

Three years as his wife, and she had been an invisible ghost in that house.

One positive test, and suddenly the ghost had gained a pulse to him.

It was laughable.

Hudson was glared at for a long moment before he finally pulled the phone from his pocket.

“Don’t spend too long on screens during pregnancy. It’s bad for your eyes.”

Jade selectively ignored his advice, reaching for her phone to finish organizing the data dump, but his presence made her stop.

“Would you mind leaving?”

Hudson pressed his lips together, his dark eyes searching hers for a trace of her old warmth.

“Do you not want to see me?”

Jade met his stare.

“Yes.”

Hudson drew a deep breath and stood up.

“Fine, I’m leaving.”

Watching him walk out, Jade threw herself completely into organizing the evidence chain.

A full ten minutes later, the entire chain of evidence was organized and ready.
