From His Ex-Wife to the World's Most Sought-After Restorer (Jade and Hudson) novel Chapter 291

Chapter 291 The Public Apology

If she were officially blacklisted by the Walters, her chance of becoming the next Mrs. Walter would vanish forever.

She couldn’t let that happen. Not after everything she’d done.

Jade saw the hesitation in Amara’s eyes and tapped the contact list on her screen.

“Apologize. Now.”

Amara glared at her with pure, unadulterated hatred. She stood frozen for nearly twenty seconds, her body vibrating with tension, before she finally lowered her head.

“I’m sorry…”

The words were rushed, barely a whisper.

Jade’s eyes narrowed. She wasn’t letting her off that easily.

“That didn’t sound particularly sincere, Ms. Hoyt.”

Amara ground her teeth so hard it made a sickening sound.

“Jade, don’t push it! You’ve already made your point!”

Jade made a move to tap the screen again. Amara closed her eyes and screamed.

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”

She screamed the words over and over until her throat was raw. She stopped and glared at Jade.

‘Is that enough for you?”

“For now,” Jade said. She pulled up a payment QR code.

‘The smear campaign you ran cost my studio its reputation. The red paint you ordered caused physical damage to my property. You’re going to pay for it.”

This bitch just won’t stop!

The fury in Amara’s chest was a physical heat, the taste of copper filling her mouth.

“How much?”

Jade didn’t blink. “$500,000.”

Amara’s pupils contracted. “Five hundred thousand? You’re robbing me!”

Jade’s voice was like ice. “If you don’t understand the value of a professional reputation, feel free to look it up. My studio was decorated with high-end, custom-milled wood. Thanks to your little stunt, the facade is ruined and needs a total replacement. That doesn’t even include the personal damages for the defamation. If I actually took this to court, $500,000 would be the starting point.”

mara heard the absolute resolve in Jade’s voice. She thought of her bank balance-constantly drained by her luxury lifestyle and eliance on Hudson and Lyndon-and felt a wave of humiliation.

I don’t have that kind of cash on hand!”

You have twenty-four hours to get it to me,” Jade said, her tone final. “If the money isn’t in my account by then, my lawyer files the uit. And the link to this livestream goes straight to Emily Walter’s inbox.”

lade had found Amara’s Achilles’ heel. She wasn’t worried about the money. She clicked her screen off and walked away.

mara watched her go, her nails digging into her palms. The rage was a wild animal in her chest; she wanted to lung forward and ear Jade’s hair out, but she was immediately blocked by the wall of reporters.

Microphones were shoved in her face, the questions hitting her like rapid-fire.

Ms. Hoyt, those photos of you and Hudson Walter in bed-the company said they were faked. As the person in the picture, can you confirm if they were real?”

Is your obsession with Jade Merchant purely about the title of Mrs. Walter?”

‘Word is you fled back to Hudson the second your husband died. Was there an affair going on while you were abroad?”

The questions were relentless.

Amara tried to keep her face a mask of aristocratic dignity, trying to reclaim her “rightful” place.

‘These are private matters. If you continue to harass me with these baseless accusations, the Walter Group’s legal team will be in

touch tomorrow!”

The reporters didn’t buy it. They pressed closer until a black Mercedes pulled up at the curb.

The door opened, and Kevin stepped out.

Everyone recognized Hudson’s right-hand man. The crowd instinctively backed off.

Amara saw her lifeline. She waved frantically, her voice high and commanding.

“Kevin! Did Hudson send you to get me? I’m right here!”

Kevin approached, two burly security guards in tow. They moved through the crowd, shielding Amara as they led her to the car.

Amara’s previous panic vanished. She straightened her back and marched past the reporters like a queen returning to her throne.
