The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow by Helena R. Bates

Chapter 223

Judson sat back in his chair, crossing his legs casually, a smirk playing on his lips that didn't quite reach his eyes. "You went through all this trouble to get me here, so I figured I'd indulge you. Getting into a car crash isn't exactly a fun experience, is it?"

Grey's face twisted in frustration. "Judson, do you really think I won't run Lena over next? Aren't you worried I'll spill the beans to Brad about her?"

Judson chuckled darkly, "I never thought a rabid dog like you would have a weakness. If you get on your knees and beg, maybe I'll consider sparing Lena this time. I heard she's quite the looker."

Michael, who had just entered the room, raised an eyebrow at Grey's audacity. "Are you out of your mind?"

Everyone knew the last time Mathew just hugged Lena, Judson nearly lost it.

"Who's the crazy one here? You are! Judson's willing to show up for Lena, doesn't that mean he's afraid her identity will get out?" Grey said, eyes fixed on Judson. "Am I right, Judson?"

Judson's grin widened, but his eyes remained cold. "You're right, but there's another way besides begging."

Grey felt a chill of unease at Judson's words. "What are you planning to do...?"
