From His Ex-Wife to the World's Most Sought-After Restorer (Jade and Hudson) novel Chapter 250

"Anything! I'll do anything!"

Cindy didn't even wait to hear the terms. She was desperate.

If this got out, her life of luxury would vanish in an instant.

It was her worst nightmare.

"Just don't tell anyone. Please. I'll do whatever you want."

Amara's smile widened. "Good. Come here. I'll tell you exactly what I need."

She whispered into Cindy's ear. When she was done, Cindy looked hesitant, her brow furrowed.

"But—"

"Do it, or I expose you and your husband for what you are," Amara snapped.

"You don't have a choice!"

Cindy was miserable, but with Amara holding the knife to her throat, she didn't dare say no.

"Fine. We'll do exactly what you said."

Inside the studio.

Jade sat at her desk, her eyes closed in exhaustion.

Her mind was a carousel of the day's events.

Riva Sterling, Mrs. Gable, and now Cindy Merchant...

And those recordings of Jewell that kept hitting her phone.

If the goal of the book sabotage was to send her to jail for revenge, then what was the point of Cindy's visit and the relentless recordings?

Was it just to break her spirit? Or was Amara brewing something much bigger?

Jade's thoughts were a tangled mess. She stood up, grabbed her phone, and forced herself to look at the photos and listen to the recordings again.

She had to stay rational. She had to find a pattern.

Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she sat up straight.

When Jewell was first taken, Amara was the one who called.

If the recordings were being updated so frequently, didn't that mean Jewell was being held somewhere close to Amara?

If she followed Amara, could she find where they were keeping her?

Jade acted on the impulse immediately. She found Amara's new address and headed out to stake the place out.

No matter how slim the chance, she had to take it.

She didn't tell Silas or Julian. They were too cautious; they'd tell her to wait.
