Hudson had been waiting for hours, and when Jade finally appeared, he didn’t expect her to bolt the moment she saw him.

His expression darkened mestamily, and he shouted her name while chasing after her with long strides..

“Jade!! Stop right there!!”

But Jade didn’t slow down;; she sprinted toward the building. 7

Within seconds, she had already disappeared to the elevator.

Hudson’s face was a mask off dark furry as he jammed the button for the second elevator and followed her up..

Jade knew Hudson would be right behind her

She was desperate to evade him, marching quickly down the hallway once the doors opened.

However, as she turned the comer, she saw four or five massive, tattooed thugs crowding around her front door..

Jade froze, her heart hammering as she instinively pulled out her phone and backed away.

“Who are you people?”

The thugs turned in synchronization at the sound of her voice.

The leader scanned her face, rubbing his chim with a repulsive,, oily smirk.

“You’re Robert Merchant’s sister, aren’t you?”

At the mention of her brother, a cold dread pooled in Jade’s stomach.

“What did he do this time?”

The leader didn’t mince words. “He racked up hundreds of thousands im gambling debt at our casino. He can’t pay, but he said his sister loaded and sent us here.”

Hundreds of thousands in gambling debt?

Jade bit her lip, her face turning a sickly shade of white.

“I don’t have any money! And I haven’t seen Robert in months!”

The leader’s demeanor flipped into one of pure aggression.

“If you aren’t his sister, why did he give us this address? Listen, the clock is ticking for Robert. If the cash isn’t in our hands by midnight, we’re taking his hands instead!”

“I told you, Robert has nothing to do with me!” Jade hissed, her voice cold with resolve as she refused to be his piggy bank.

“He has parents. Go talk to them and leave me out of his mess!”

Seeing her alone, the leader clearly assumed she was an easy target, rolling up his sleeves as he crowded into her space.

“He said you’re paying, so you’re paying. Don’t make us get rough with you, sweetheart.”

Jade lifted her phone, her thumb hovering over the emergency dial.

“Leave right now, or the police will be here in three minutes.”

The leader saw the screen and his expression twisted into a snarl before he spat on the floor.

“Fine. You want to play hardball? We’re leaving.”

The thugs turned and walked away, and Jade waited until they were around the corner before pulling out her keys.

But the second she unlocked the door and stepped inside, the thugs lunged back, slamming the door open and forcing their way into her sanctuary.

The impact of the door sent Jade crashing into the wall, a sharp pain radiating through her back as she gasped for air.

The apartment was suddenly filled with the violent sound of shattering glass and wood as they began destroying everything she owned. Jale ignored her own pain and rushed forward, trying to protect the home she had built,

“Stop! Get out! Stop it right now!”

They ignored her entirely, systematically smashing every piece of furniture they could lift.

Jade watched as the cozy living room she had decorated with her own hands was reduced to splinters, her heart bleeding with every crash.

Then, Hudson Walter appeared in the doorway like a scripted savior, his voice dripping with patronizing arrogance.

“Jade, if you agree to come back to the estate with me, I will make this problem disappear instantly.”

Jade clutched at her chest, refusing to give him the satisfaction of a response.

Hudson didn’t wait for her to answer, pulling qut his phone as if he were performing a magic trick.

Within minutes, a dozen professional bodyguards swarmed the apartment and began brutally beating the thugs:

In no time, the men who had been terrorizing her were slumped on the floor like discarded trash.

The guards dragged them out, leaving only Jade and Hudson in the wreckage of her home.

Hudson looked at her with his chin tilted up, te picture of superior authority.

“Jade, you see? The problems that keep you up at night are nothing to me. That is the power of being Mrs. Walter. If you come back and behave, I promise you’ll never have to deal with scum like this again.”

“Go back?”

Jade’s eyes were bloodshot as a mocking, bitter laugh escaped her lips.

“Back to being a puppet with no thoughts of her own? Back to being a breeding tool at the estate? Hudson, listen carefully. Even with this pregnancy, I want a divorce more than anything. I am counting the days until I never have to see your face again. I am never going back!”

Her absolute rejection ignited a toxic, restless frustration in Hudson’s gut..

Jade, I truly don’t understand what you’re trying to prove. We were fine before! Or do you think Julian Forster is enough of a shield that you can just discard me?”

“What the hell does Julian have to do with this”

Jade looked at him with a gaze of pure ice.

“You and Amara Hoyt have zero boundaries, and you expected me to just swallow your infidelity forever. That is why we are here. Hudson, you are the problem. Look in the mirror for once instead of blaming everyone else!”
