Chapter 595

The moment she heard him say he would think it through seriously, Judy felt her head throb.

“What do you mean by that?”

Her voice shot up sharply, and her whole demeanor shifted into something almost menacing, completely different from the gentle tone she’d been using. The change was so jarring, it genuinely rattled Joseph.

“Judy, what’s wrong with you?”

He wasn’t stupid. Her sudden change in attitude didn’t go unnoticed. It was painfully obvious that something wasn’t right. Seeing the confusion on his face, Judy quickly realized she’d gone too far. Now she was starting to raise suspicion, and that wasn’t good. She’d never lost composure like that in front of him before. Realizing this, she quickly reined in her expression.

“Alright, alright… I get it. I’m just worried about you, that’s all. You know I’m not usually like this.” She smiled sweetly, as if everything just now had been a figment of his imagination. The switch left Joseph completely thrown.

“Well… alright then.”

He tried to shake off the unease and returned to their earlier topic. “But Judy, why did you react so strongly to what I said about taking time to think things through?” He honestly didn’t get it. Was she really doing all of this for his sake? She hadn’t acted like this before. No matter what he said, she always responded gently, never raising her voice and challenging him so directly. But now, she was different. She wasn’t as soft as she used to be. She even liked going against him now. For some reason, Judy had become more opinionated than ever.

Thinking about it made Joseph uneasy. He didn’t know what to say or how to say it.

“I don’t know. Why don’t you tell me what to do?”

He gave up trying to figure it out. If she wasn’t happy with this and that, she might as well spell everything out for him. Besides, after what they’d just done, he didn’t feel like thinking too hard. He was tired.

Judy mentally rolled her eyes at him. A man like this was barely useful, all bark and no bite. If he weren’t the heir to the Hunt family, she wouldn’t have spared him a second glance. But right now, she needed his help. That was the only reason she was still playing nice. Otherwise, none of this would be happening.

So, she forced herself to stay patient and said again, “Since you’ve started taking over the company, then you need to show some results.”

“Mm, mm, I get that.” He nodded eagerly, pretending to be all ears.

Judy sighed inwardly, breathing in and out to keep her temper in check. How could one man be this useless? Still, she adjusted her tone and continued, “Right now, Aurora’s sick. Isn’t this the perfect chance to strike and take down her company? For example, if she’s got any upcoming projects or valuable land deals lined up, you can snatch them up.”

Judy figured she couldn’t have made her intentions any clearer than that.
