From His Ex-Wife to the World's Most Sought-After Restorer (Jade and Hudson) novel Chapter 235

Jade picked it up. It was an unknown number.

Thinking it was a client, she answered.

But it was Hudson's deep, low voice on the other end.

"When are you coming home?"

" I'm busy. I'm staying at the studio tonight. I'm not coming back." With that, she hung up.

According to her talk with Silas in Habor City, their move against Hudson was coming soon.

Once Hudson's company hit the rocks, he'd be too busy to bother her. All she had to do was wait for the divorce.

At Grandview Estate, Hudson stood by the window staring at his phone, his expression terrifyingly grim.

Knock, knock, knock.

A sound at the study door.

"Come in," he said, walking to his desk.

Kevin entered.

"Sir, the check is complete. The land is definitely up for bid and is a top priority for government development."

"Good."

Hudson made an immediate call.

"Invest $100 million. If we need more for the follow-up, let me know."

"Yes, sir," Kevin replied.

The next day, Hudson's decision was met with a wall of opposition from the shareholders.

Hudson pushed past them all and forced the investment through.

After the meeting, Bert called him into his office for a private word.

"Are you sure about the intel on this project? Something feels off about the projections."

Hudson was absolute. "I've been tracking this forever. It's a guaranteed win."

Bert still trusted his son's business instincts, so he dropped it. "As long as you've done your homework."

—

Jade's studio was in full swing, and she'd been buried in work for days.

Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.

An anonymous contact sent her an audio file.

She slid her finger across the screen and hit play.

A weak, desperate plea filled the room.

"Jade... Jade, help me... please..."

Crash—

Jade stood up so fast her chair toppled over. She gripped the phone with white knuckles.
