But when she spoke, her voice broke into a sob and the tears began to fall again. Rory knew Jade had her hearing today and they had planned to celebrate the divorce. Hearing that Jade was in a bad state at the studio, she had rushed over immediately.

Seeing Jade in this state, she understood that the system had failed her.

Rory walked over and pulled Jade into a warm, motherly embrace.

“It’s alright. A temporary setback doesn’t mean the war is lost.”

Jade suppressed a sob at first, but then the dam broke and she wailed against Rory’s shoulder.

Rory patted Jade’s shoulder and simply held her in the quiet room.

Long ago, she had heard of the reputation of the Walter family heir.

Ruthless and cold-blooded in his pursuit of absolute control.

How could her gentle apprentice ever hope to survive a fight with a man like that?

No one knew how much time passed before Jade finally quieted down.

Rory looked at Jade’s porcelain skin and red, swollen eyes, gently dabbing them with a tissue.

“Jade, I spoke with your Master before I came here. We have a plan, but it’s your choice.”

Jade asked in a hoarse, broken whisper.

“What is it?”

Rory said softly,

“I have some understanding of your legal situation. Fighting Hudson here is a losing battle, It would be better for you to go abroad. If you live apart for two years and then file your suit again, the court will grant the divorce automatically. Your Master has a reputable restoration studio in Faronne, and once you’re there, you can finally focus on doing the work you actually love.”

She hadn’t intervened on Jade’s behalf earlier because of her own reservations.

Chapter 145 The France Proposal

The Walter family was a titan in the capital, and he didn’t want to risk her family’s safety.

Getting involved for Jade’s sake meant declaring war on the Walter Group.

That conflict would come with a price she wasn’t sure she could pay.

But seeing Jade’s emotional breakdown, she realized she couldn’t just stand by.

She couldn’t watch a vibrant young woman be slowly crushed into nothingness.

After careful consideration, she and Edward had decided on a way to help her.

Jade was stunned, remaining silent as she processed the suggestion.

She had never once considered leaving her own country.

A strange land, unfamiliar language, and a pregnancy-it was a terrifying prospect.

Still, what Rory suggested was the only way to escape Hudson’s reach.

“Rory, thank you and Master for being the only ones truly in my corner.”

“I’ll think about your suggestion very carefully.”

“No rush.”

Rory offered a warm smile as she stroked Jade’s hair.

“You don’t have a visa yet, do you? Start the process now, and leave when you’re ready.”

Jade nodded firmly.

“I’ll apply for a visa tomorrow morning.”

Jade took the day off to visit the consulate and file her paperwork.

A visa would take between two weeks and a month to process.

With the burden partially lifted, Jade’s steps felt ighter as she left the building.

Bzz, bzz, bzz-

The phone in her bag began to vibrate rhythmically.

Jade saw it was Julian Forster calling and answered.

“Mr. Forster?”

Julian Forster’s voice on the line was filled with a gentle, patient amusement.

“Forgot again?”

Jade suddenly remembered that Julian had asked her to use his name.

Her eyelashes fluttered nervously.
