Chapter 3

“You’re as evil as your shameless father. Don’t you know how to apologize when you bump into someone?”

Jude was a polite child. In the past, he would have definitely apologized sincerely.

However, when he bumped into Greg, not only was Jude not apologetic, but he was also furious.

To Jude, even though Aspen had been stingy and selfish all along, she had always worn a gentle smile on her face and hugged him tenderly.

However, ever since Greg appeared, Aspen changed.

Her mood swings were horrible, and she would yell at us for no reason.

Worse still, Aspen was planning to let me die over Greg.

Jude hated Greg for destroying his harmonious family.

Gritting his teeth, he pointed at Greg.

“Don’t talk about my dad like that!

“You’re the homewrecker and the shameless one!”

After that, Greg kicked Jude in the chest. He flew backward and landed on the floor with great force.

I wanted to carry him, but I could not hold him.

Greg was still angry. He walked forward and dragged Jude out toward a tree. Then, he sat on Jude and kept punching him.

“Stop!

“Don’t hit my son!”

I wanted to push Greg aside, but I no longer had a physical body. My efforts amounted to nothing.

I hovered over Jude while wishing that I could shield him from harm.

However, what could I do as a dead person?

“Everything that belongs to you will be mine after you and your father die, you jerk!

“I’ve waited for so many years, and the day has finally come!

“Your useless dad is already half-dead. Let me help you reunite with him so that you’ll keep each other company. Then, you won’t be alone in hell!”

Jude tried to struggle, but after numerous hits from Greg, he lost his strength and started to lose consciousness.

Even so, he continued to mutter, “I have to hold on. I can’t die.

“I haven’t gotten the money. My dad’s waiting for me!”

I felt excruciating pain, and my whole frame trembled.

I did not want Jude to save me.

All I wanted was for him to be alive and well!

Just when Jude was about to lose consciousness, I heard footsteps.

Greg stopped his attack vigilantly.

“Greg…

“Greg, are you there?”

Aspen noticed that there was no response, so she quickly walked over.

Greg quickly stood up. “Aspen, why are you here?

“It’s too dark over here, and you’re wearing heels. Be careful. Just stay there, and don’t move. I’ll be there soon.

“If you fall, I’ll be really upset.”

Aspen was delighted by his words.

She smiled and swayed shyly.

Jude was struggling to speak.

“Mommy… Mommy…”

His voice was very soft, but Aspen could hear it in the silence.

“Jude, is that you?” she asked in surprise.

“Mommy, it’s me. Please, come and save—”

The bodyguards were very sharp. They rushed over the moment Aspen appeared.

One of them crouched down and quickly covered Jude’s mouth to stop him from making any sound.

Seeing this, Greg spoke with a sad expression. “Aspen, didn’t you agree that tonight you’d be mine and mine only?

“Now that your son’s here, aren’t you going to leave me?”

A tear trickled down his cheek.

“That’s right, you’re a family. I’ll go!”
