From His Ex-Wife to the World's Most Sought-After Restorer (Jade and Hudson) novel Chapter 150

Chapter 150 A House of Cards

“Miss? Should I call the police for you?”

Jade managed a thin, fragile smile.

“No. Just do your best to shake them off. If you can’t, don’t worry about it.”

The driver nodded and gripped the wheel.

“Understood. Hang on, I’m putting my foot down.”

Jade gripped her seatbelt as she looked out at the darkness ahead.

But she didn’t care about the darkness.

Anything was better than returning to Hudson Walter and living like a marionette.

Kevin watched her escape and scrambled back into the van, his phone still showing the active

call to his boss.

“Sir?”

To his surprise, Hudson’s deep, cold voice answered almost immediately.

“Mm.”

Kevin bit the bullet and delivered the bad news.

“She’s in a taxi. What are my orders?”

“Ensure she reaches her apartment safely.”

“Yes, sir,”

Inside a private club, Hudson Walter disconnected the call,

Charles sat opposite him, absentmindedly rolling dice between his fingers.

“I hear our little Jade has picked up quite a few admirers lately?”

Hudson drained his whiskey, Jade’s words echoing in his mind like a death knell.

“I hope he rots in hell!”

The alcohol burned its way down, but the fire in his heart was much worse.

“So what? Do you honestly think I’ll let her take my child and run to another man?”

He slammed the crystal glass onto the table, his restlessness reaching a breaking point.

Charles, never one to miss a chance to stir the pot, continued to fan the flames.

“Don’t be so sure. Every man in the city knows you’ve failed her. If someone offers her a life of respect, she’ll take it. You’ll lose your wife, and your heir will be calling another man ‘Daddy.’ Ouch.”

He shook his head with a look of mock pity.

“Talk about a total disaster!”

Hudson’s face darkened with rage as he hurled an expensive cigar case at his friend.

“Shut your d*mn mouth!”

Charles just grinned, catching the case and pulling out a premium cigar.

“You always blow up, but you never think. If youd treated her like a human being instead of a possession, would she be this desperate to leave you?”

“She had the title of Mrs. Walter! What more could she possibly want?” Hudson snapped.

“I provided everything. I gave her a life of luxury. If that’s

Cot good,’ what is?”

“Your definition of ‘good’ is a gilded cage,” Charles said, leaning in

“Maybe try asking her what she actually needs to be happy?”

Normally, Hudson would have dismissed such advice as sentimental garbage.

But for the first time, he actually paused to consider the words.

“She claims I don’t respect her, that I treat her like a doll. But that’s just her insecurity. No one in my family sees her that way!

Charles lit his cigar and delivered the killing blow.

“If she actually came back, would you be man enough to change for her?”

Hudson took a slow sip of his drink, his posture finally losing some of its rigid arrogance.

“If she returns and behaves, I might consider making some adjustments.”

Charles knew his friend’s pride, and even that minor admission was a victory.
