From His Ex-Wife to the World's Most Sought-After Restorer (Jade and Hudson) novel Chapter 234

"Amara? What are you doing here?"

Amara blinked innocently.

"I was just shopping nearby and saw the crowd. Is the owner someone you know?"

She followed Hudson's gaze.

When she saw Jade, a flash of malice crossed her eyes.

"I wondered why I'd run into you here. I didn't realize Ms. Merchant had opened a studio."

Hudson's voice was flat. "It's her grand opening."

As they spoke, a delivery truck pulled up in front of the studio.

The driver stepped out and found Jade, handing her a card.

"Ms. Merchant, Mr. Faith sent over a set of high-grade pearwood tea tables. He wishes you a prosperous business."

Jade took the card. It read, "To my favorite business partner."

She smiled, her eyes crinkling at the corners as she tucked the card away.

"Please thank Silas for me."

Moments later, another truck arrived.

This one was filled with a sea of Endless Summer Hydrangeas—Jade's favorite—along with two sets of exquisite emerald jewelry.

The driver stepped out with another card.

"Ms. Merchant, this is from Mr. Forster. Happy opening."

Jade took it. Julian's message was simple, "Be happy every day."

Jade smiled and nodded.

"Thank you. Please tell Julian I appreciate it."

The drivers and helpers began unloading the gifts. Hudson watched the scene unfold.

In a heartbeat, his own gifts felt small. Embarrassing, even.

Hudson's face went stone-cold as he called Kevin over.

"Go get me something better. Now!"

"Yes, sir!" Kevin scrambled to comply.

But as the two trucks left, several black sedans pulled up in a perfect line.

A dozen security guards stepped out and lined up in front of Jade. Each was carrying a box containing a priceless antique.

And that wasn't even the main event. Four guards came forward carrying a large, heavy crate.

Every eye in the crowd was on the crate.

When the contents were revealed, a collective gasp went up.

It was a piece from a museum in Faronne—what restoration experts called the most precise, high-tech High-precision Restorer in the world.

Once the gifts were displayed, the guards spoke in unison.

"Wish Ms. Merchant a grand opening and a flourishing business!"

The crowd broke into frantic whispers. Jade was stunned.
