Chapter 991

Judy was truly shocked when Kenneth said that not even he would be enough to stand against Lucas.She had known the man was powerful but never imagined he was that powerful.All this time, she’d been dancing on the edge of danger without even realizing it.Clearly, she’d just been lucky not to have provoked Lucas before.Otherwise, she might not have lived to tell the tale."Are you serious?"Judy had already understood, but she still needed to hear it confirmed.What she couldn’t understand was how someone like Aurora could be so lucky.It was as if all the good men in the world were drawn to her.She didn’t even need to do anything, yet people lined up to fight for her.How could Judy accept that?Kenneth saw the expression on her face and instantly understood what she was feeling.After spending so much time with her, he knew exactly what kind of person Judy was.In the past, she hadn’t found her footing.But now, she was completely different.She knew exactly what she wanted.And i

Whenever she worked overtime, it was always him staying behind to keep her company.He’d always taken Judy seriously.Judy looked at her assistant and noticed he still hadn’t left after finishing his report. She couldn’t help but ask, “Brian, why are you still here? Didn’t you already finish reporting everything?”She was a little confused—lately, Brian had been acting oddly.Brian snapped out of it and quickly said, “Miss Judy, are you sure you don’t need me to go abroad with you?“I really don’t feel comfortable letting you go alone.”Hearing that, Judy’s expression softened.She knew Brian meant well. He was just worried about her safety.“It’s alright, don’t worry. Everything on my end is already arranged. You just need to hold down the fort here.”Brian opened his mouth, wanting to say more, but Judy clearly looked exhausted.She raised her hand slightly. “Alright, let’s leave it at that. If there’s nothing urgent, you can get back to your own work.”Having been cut off twice, Br

“I’ve just been so exhausted lately. I thought if I finished everything early, we could head overseas sooner and start our little world together. Don’t you think that makes sense?”As she spoke, Judy gently swayed her arms, looking every bit like a tempting enchantress.Kenneth’s expression finally softened.He had to admit that Judy’s looks were exactly his type.And once he got to know her, discovering her deeply self-serving nature only fueled his desire to conquer her.A woman like this—if he could break her down and make her completely submit to him—that would be quite the thrill.He wrapped his arms around her waist, his smile seductive. “So, you do like me too, right?”Judy’s eyes glinted as she traced small circles on his chest with her finger. “Of course. Do I really need to spell it out? We’re both adults here. Some things are better felt than said.”Her last words carried a teasing lilt, her brows arching playfully.She looked like pure temptation—deliberate and dangerous.S

That just proved they were following the right boss.So, what was there to be conflicted about?As long as the direction was right and their boss could lead them to success, they had every reason to feel happy.Besides, Judy had always treated them well, especially Brian.As long as they were capable, Judy always gave recognition where it was due.No one ever questioned that.So naturally, they were willing to follow her.As for what happened in the office, there was no reason for them to gossip.That was her personal business. It had nothing to do with them.As long as they were paid on time, she was a good boss.They were more than willing to keep working for her.This time, Judy had even said— whoever wanted to follow her abroad, she’d take care of them.After all, long-time staff were more reliable.But Brian staying behind wasn’t her way of discarding him.She simply felt he was the most capable.That was why she left him in charge domestically.Essentially, the entire studio woul

Brian looked at Judy, her face glowing with satisfaction.It was obvious she had just come out of an intimate encounter.They were all adults here. Anyone with sense could figure it out.There was no need to say it out loud.If anything, saying too much would only make it sound annoying.Even so, Brian still didn’t know how to bring it up.After all, he was just Judy’s subordinate.But watching her go off to another country with that man, he couldn’t accept it without saying a word.Judy saw Brian standing there, clearly hesitant, and her good mood instantly soured.Whatever goodwill she’d once had toward him was quickly running out."Do you have something to say?"Judy spoke impatiently, "If not, then step out. I still have things to deal with."Brian’s eyes widened and he looked up sharply, clearly not expecting Judy to be so cold.Not long ago, she was still willing to talk to him.And now, she couldn’t even spare him a glance?"Miss Judy, I do have something to say."Brian hesitate

There was just no reasoning with people like him.She’d never know what was really going on in his mind.“Alright, alright, I get it—you’re calm. Then can’t we talk about something else?”But Brian wouldn’t let it go.He stood just a few steps away from Judy’s desk, never moving closer, yet not stepping back either.That distance made Judy nervous.She wasn’t sure what she’d done to provoke Brian, or whether she had somehow given him the wrong idea.Brian ignored her fear and kept talking to himself.“Judy, I’ve seen you working so hard in this office, coordinating with suppliers, carefully choosing fabrics, sketching designs so seriously.“Every bit of that draws me to you. We’ve been through so much together, and yet you’re still thinking about that pretty boy. How do you think that makes me feel?”In Brian’s mind, he was still dreaming that the two of them could end up together.Maybe even spend their lives in Ravenshore, running a little fashion design studio.That wouldn’t be so b
