Knowing Bert’s temperament, Jade knew she had to play along to move her plan forward.
She complied and knelt. Looking around, only Bert and Emily were in the living room. Both were livid, staring at her as if she were a cold-blooded criminal.
As if their glares weren’t enough, Emily marched over and jabbed a finger at her.
“Have you lost your mind? Who gave you the right to abort that child without a word?”
Emily wasn’t finished. She grabbed Jade’s shoulders and shook her violently.
“Give me back my grandson! I want my grandson back!”
Jade let herself be shaken like a rag doll, her body limp, as if she might break at any second.
Emily stopped, realizing she was being too rough, but her eyes remained murderous.
Bert finally spoke, his voice booming with icy authority.
“Jade, you knew how much this family valued that child. To end the pregnancy knowing our expectations… you’d better have a d*mn good reason.”
“He’s right,” Emily hissed. “Give us a reason, or you’re staying on that floor until you do!”
Jade kept her head down. When she looked up, her eyes were swimming with tears.
“Bert, Emily… I wanted to keep the baby, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t bear what Hudson and Amara were doing to me.”
Bert eyed her with suspicion.
“Hudson put her in a psychiatric hospital. What more do you want? What else is there to be unhappy about?”
Jade lowered her head again, the picture of heartbreak.
“I wish that were still true.”
“What do you mean?” Emily asked, sensing a shift.

“Did Hudson bring her out already?”
Jade gave a slow, agonizing nod, playing her grief to the hilt.

“A week ago, Hudson redecorated the villa to look like our new home and begged me to come back. He said he knew he’d been too close to Amara and promised to change.
“He bought me a new ring and made so many promises. I thought he cared about the baby, that he actually wanted to fix our marriage. But as soon as I moved in, he brought Amara and her daughter into the house and let the girl call him ‘Daddy’.
“He even… he even let the girl use the jar containing my mother’s ashes as a toy. After that, where was the room for me or my child? I realized he didn’t care. I was done. So I ended it.”
“That fool!” Emily spat, her face contorting with rage.
“What kind of spell has that woman cast on him? How could he be so reckless with our legacy?”
Jade stayed silent, letting the words sink in.
She knew Emily wasn’t hurting for her.
Emily was embarrassed. Her prized son was making a fool of himself over a widow with another man’s child.
To the Walters, reputation was everything.
If Hudson actually married Amara, it would be a permanent stain on the family name. Emily and Bert would never stand for it.
As long as Jade played on that fear, she’d get exactly what she wanted.
“What a total disgrace!” Emily paced the room, cursing under her breath before turning back to Jade.
“Even so, you shouldn’t have been so impulsive. That was a Walter heir, not just some random fetus! Are you stupid? Why didn’t you come to us first?”
