His tall figure looked somewhat deste from behind as he walked away.
“When you’re back from your trip, make sure to tell me. Don’t let me be thest to find out.”
Judy quickly agreed over the phone, “Don’t worry<b>, </b>I’ll definitely let you know.”
Joseph then ended the call, reminding her to take care of herself.
Because he trusted her, he didn’t say much more.
Besides, he knew Judy had been through a lottely.
He felt guilty about it, so he didn’t press her further.
He figured he’d ask her again once she returned–there was still time<b>. </b>
There was no rush. These things could wait.
It was exactly that shift in Joseph’s mood and the lingering guilt he felt toward Judy that kept his suspicions at bay.
At most, he found a few things odd and chalked it all up to stress.
He decided to wait until she came back before figuring out the next step.
That was the only thing he was certain of at the moment.
What matteredter would be seeing how Judy behaved.
Joseph sighed inwardly.
If his parents hadn’t been so harsh with her before, he wouldn’t have treated her this way.
Deep down, he really did feel sorry for her.
All his efforts were just so his father would ept her sooner.
Joseph eventually drove home, choosing to believe what Judy told him.
Meanwhile, the moment Judy hung up, she turned to Keh and burst into tears.
“That scared me to death. What if he’d found out? What would we have done?”
Keh lifted his hand to wrap around Judy’s waist<b>, </b>gently patting her to calm her down.
“It’s okay. You don’t need to be scared. I saw all of thising.”
He lookedposed and in control, showing no sign of being intimidated by Joseph.
Judy began to feel a little more at ease, but she was still uneasy.
“Do you think Joseph’s already starting to suspect something?”
Keh shook his head. “I don’t think so. We’ve both been pretty careful about everything.”
Judy nodded in agreement. “That’s true<b>, </b>but… you <b>don’t </b>really know Joseph.”
<b>“</b>You do?”
Keh looked at her<b>, </b>puzzled<b>, </b>a teasing glint in his <b>eyes</b>.
<b>“</b><b>He </b>usually doesn’t speak to me like that. But today’s call<b>… </b><b>it was </b>definitely strange.”
Judy stepped out of Keh’s arms, putting some distance <b>between </b><b>them</b>.

“I can’t just sit back and wait. When I get back, I need to strike first <b>” </b>
Keh watched her, amused by her fighting spirit.
“Fair enough. As long as you think you can handle him, that’s what matters.”
He pushed his sses up the bridge of his nose.
“Besides, even if you can’t, I’ve got other ways to deal with him. Joseph Hunt is nothing to be afraid of.”
He’d already figured it out–Joseph was the type who bullied the weak and feared the strong. What was there to be afraid of?
And if it really came down to it, there was still Lucas.
Joseph’stest moves were already threatening Aurora’spany
So, with a little push, the two men could easily turn on each other.
