Judy was truly shocked when Keh 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 ept that?


    Keh 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 waspletely different.


    She knew exactly what she wanted.


    And if anything stood in her way, she wouldn’t hesitate to remove it.


    To her, anything that held her back was just dead weight.


    It was this rity that made Keh so certain Judy wouldn’t stay in Ravenshore.


    That was why he’d suggested leaving together and building a life overseas.


    And just as he expected, Judy only pretended to think about it for a day before giving him a decisive yes.


    She didn’t even need convincing.


    Because she knew better than anyone that the stage abroad and the one at home were worlds apart.


    So why waste another minute here?


    This path wouldn’t bring her any growth or future.


    “I’ll turn Joseph down, then.”


    Judy let out a smallugh, knowing it was time to make a decision.


    As for Joseph, it was best to let that go.


    Walton Corporation or whatever it didn’t matter as much as bing stronger herself.


    Only by standing firm could she truly taste the joy of victory.


    That was the answer Judy had found in recent months.


    Keh gently ruffled her hair, his voice soft. “Good girl. I knew you’d make the right call.”


    Judy smiled too.


    Thinking about Joseph didn’t stir any guilt in her


    He had already left her once–no matter how much he tried to make up for it now, it was too


    What was the point?


    The damage had already been done.


    With that, Judy simply replied to Joseph: “The studio’s busy and I really can’t leave. I’ll arrange a nurse for you.”


    She didn’t even bother calling. Just a brief text to brush him off.


    Her studio was genuinely full of work.


    Relocating was no small task, between choosing a new space and coordinating logistics.


    And the current operations still needed proper handover. Judy wasn’t about to abandon anything.


    Instead, she appointed someone she trusted to stay behind.


    Her key files had already been transferred overseas.


    This ce would serve as her domestic branch for long–term clients.


    Her trusted aide looked at her, clearly reluctant to part ways.


    Holding the files, he came to report the situation but his gaze kept drifting toward Keh.


    Inwardly, he clenched his fists.


    What was so great about that man?


    He was the one who truly understood Judy. They were the best partners and friends.


    He knew her moods better than anyone.
