Chapter 292
292:
It hit her all at once—Kylee wasn’t just upset; she was livid, and this was about to land her in serious trouble.
Desperately, she tried to shrink away from the mess she had created.
“Kylee, this isn’t my fault! Who could’ve known Jude would be so careless? This is all on him!”
In a rush of panic, Cynthia added, “Jude’s supposed to be here. Why is there still no sign of him? Has he just run off?”
Kylee’s eyes narrowed, her teeth clenched. “If that idiot has actually run away, it’s over. I’ll find him and make sure he pays for this.”
Just then, a voice rang out from outside the room. “Miss Russell, Mr. Jude Todd is here to see you.”
Kylee’s eyes lit up. Without a second thought, she instructed, “Let him in. Now.”
Meanwhile, Jude stood at the entrance of the villa, fidgeting nervously.
He had already seen the chaos online on his way over.
Everything had been laid bare, and no matter what he did now, there was no escaping the consequences.
At first, Jude’s instinct was to run. If he could just leave Grester, change his identity, start fresh—maybe no one would remember his betrayal.
But as the thought lingered, a bitter taste rose in his mouth. Resentment gnawed at him.
He had nothing left, while Kylee and Cynthia were still living their lives without a care.
It was all because of them.
His mind flashed back to how they had treated him—condescending, dismissive, as if he were beneath them.

Why? Just because they were from wealthy families? Why did they think they had the right to look down on him like that?
Jude’s frustration built as he gripped the item Collin had given him, his knuckles turning white.
If that was the case, he would make sure Kylee and Cynthia felt the same sting of public shame.
“Mr. Todd, Miss Russell would like to see you. Please follow me,” a servant called, snapping him from his thoughts.
Jude nodded, his heart pounding in his chest.
As he stepped inside, he discreetly flicked the switch on the item in his hand… At that very moment, a notification flashed on the phone of Collin’s assistant, who was at Vista Villa.
The assistant raised an eyebrow, quickly heading toward the master bedroom door. He knocked and spoke to Collin inside.
“Mr. Riley, Jude’s activated the device. Should we go ahead with the plan?”
“Of course,” Collin replied without hesitation.
Linsey, overhearing the conversation, couldn’t help but ask, “Why mention Jude? What has he done?”
Collin let out a soft chuckle and gently took Linsey’s hand.
“Come with me to the study. You’ll find out soon enough.”
Suppressing her curiosity, Linsey followed Collin toward the study.
Collin wheeled himself up to the desk and began working on the laptop. Linsey stood beside him, watching as he casually clicked through a few commands. Soon, an image flickered onto the screen.
The camera view zoomed in, following the main perspective.
