Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 1129 Whispers in the Hospital

"Oh, I get it now," Jude remarked casually as he strolled into the room, wearing a smirk that didn't escape Anthony's notice.

Taking a seat opposite him, he continued, "I thought you were so riled up today because Colin outshone you at the company that you wanted to strangle my dear Mom."

With a calm gesture, Jude adjusted the blanket on Dorothy, his grin widening as he met Anthony's gaze. "You might want to be careful with those neck massages in the future. If Mom turns up strangled one day, you won't have a convincing alibi."

Anthony maintained his steely gaze, his lips pressed into a tight line.

"Come on, Dad," Jude pressed on, his voice laced with nonchalance.

Leaning back in his chair, he continued, "Rumor has it the morning meeting was quite the showdown."

"And let's face it, my biological brothers just can't compete with Colin."

His smile faded, and Jude's eyes took on a hint of seriousness as he looked at Anthony. "It looks like you're teetering on the edge of defeat," Jude said.
