From His Ex-Wife to the World's Most Sought-After Restorer (Jade and Hudson) novel Chapter 220

"For real?"

Hudson's brow knit, his voice turning cold. "Given who I am, you really think I can't handle a simple condition like that?"

Fair point. Chloe wasn't about to turn down three million in cold hard cash, so she finally caved.

"Fine, I'll let it go. But only if you guarantee my safety."

Hudson, convinced Amara was incapable of such violence, agreed immediately.

"Not a problem. I'll have someone wire the money to your account right now."

Once the money hit and the guarantee was set, Chloe went to the precinct to 'clarify' her statement. Amara was released that afternoon.

When she walked out, Hudson hadn't arrived yet. She couldn't wait; the second she got her phone back, she called Lyndon.

When he picked up, she was gritting her teeth, her voice dripping with pure, unadulterated hatred and rage.

"I want Jade dead!

"You hear me? I want her dead!"

Lyndon sounded like he had a massive migraine. "What did Jade do to you this time?"

Amara fumed as she told Lyndon everything that had happened.

"That b*tch... she set Chloe and me up on purpose just so we'd fight! Then she brought Hudson there to see me at my absolute worst! Even though Hudson bailed me out, God knows what he thinks of me now.

"If this keeps up, we're never going to reach our goal! How are we supposed to get the Walters to protect us?"

Lyndon was silent for a good ten seconds before speaking. "I've made contact with Victor. I'm meeting him in Habor City. We'll talk about dealing with Jade then."

"You found Victor?"

Amara's voice spiked, then she realized where she was. She covered the receiver and ducked into a nearby alley.

Once in the shadows, she whispered anxiously.

"We've been looking for him forever. Why is he showing up now? Could it be a trap?"

Lyndon was confident. "I've got Victor by the throat. He wouldn't dare pull anything."

As much as Amara wanted Jade gone, she knew what was important.

"Fine, talk to him first. Then kill Jade when you get back."
