From His Ex-Wife to the World's Most Sought-After Restorer (Jade and Hudson) novel Chapter 191

"On your knees!"

Knowing Bert's temperament, Jade knew she had to play along to move her plan forward.

She complied and knelt. Looking around, only Bert and Emily were in the living room. Both were livid, staring at her as if she were a cold-blooded criminal.

As if their glares weren't enough, Emily marched over and jabbed a finger at her.

"Have you lost your mind? Who gave you the right to abort that child without a word?"

Emily wasn't finished. She grabbed Jade's shoulders and shook her violently.

"Give me back my grandson! I want my grandson back!"

Jade let herself be shaken like a rag doll, her body limp, as if she might break at any second.

Emily stopped, realizing she was being too rough, but her eyes remained murderous.

Bert finally spoke, his voice booming with icy authority.

"Jade, you knew how much this family valued that child. To end the pregnancy knowing our expectations... you'd better have a d*mn good reason."

"He's right," Emily hissed. "Give us a reason, or you're staying on that floor until you do!"

Jade kept her head down. When she looked up, her eyes were swimming with tears.

"Bert, Emily... I wanted to keep the baby, but I couldn't. I couldn't bear what Hudson and Amara were doing to me."

Bert eyed her with suspicion.

"Hudson put her in a psychiatric hospital. What more do you want? What else is there to be unhappy about?"

Jade lowered her head again, the picture of heartbreak.

"I wish that were still true."

"What do you mean?" Emily asked, sensing a shift.

"Did Hudson bring her out already?"
