Chapter 405
It looked like Joseph was finally starting to come around, and that wasn’t a bad thing.
At least he wasn’t throwing himself at the same woman like his life depended on it.
If things had kept going that way, Melvin wouldn’t have felt confident handing the company over to him.

Upstairs.
Joseph picked up his phone, then set it down again, torn over whether to call Judy one more time.
Part of him hoped she would call him instead.
She’d been gone for hours–how was it possible she hadn’t sent a single message?

“I love you too. Don’t let everything happening around us shake you. As long as I low you’re safe, that’s enough. I swear, I’ll give you the future you deserve!”
