As Jude gripped the sheets, she broke into a fit of tears.
Since Selena was worried that Jude would feel discomfort and nausea in the middle of the night, she came to check on Jude but was greeted by her sobbing instead.
Selena didn’t enter because she knew that Jude would suppress her sadness in front of her. Jude had never allowed anyone to see her weak side, not even Selena.
However, she was still a gentle and weak woman.
At Joseph’s house, he sat in the garden in front of the villa. He sat on a rocking chair as he played with a grasshopper while a pot of tea had been placed on the table next to him.
Because of his last name, he didn’t have to do anything to live in this mansion and even his descendants were also blessed with the privilege.
His wife then approached him. “You’re still playing with grasshoppers in such a dire moment? Why don’t you think of an idea or something? We didn’t benefit from John’s death last time. Now that Pierre is dead, we should grab whatever profit we can. Our second son is still waiting for his matrimonial home.”
The old woman was impatient. “Didn’t you say that Selena was willing to buy your shares for double the price? She’s also offering you the dividends for five years; it’s not a small number! If it were up to me, I’d immediately agree to her offer.”
“Can you lower your voice?!” Joseph immediately leapt and scolded, “This sort of thing should never be discussed outside!”
With this, he hurried into the room and his wife followed suit. Unfortunately, those words had already fallen into someone’s ears.
Due to the fact that Joseph was asked to stay behind, there was always someone loitering at the door of his house, hoping to catch a few crumbs of valuable information.
He stomped into the living room. “Woman, are you dumb or stupid?”
