On the third day of their trip to Linton Springs, Sean received a call from his subordinate, Luke Steward, saying they had found Judy Caleb.
Charlotte was already feeling tired from sightseeing and wanted to spend a few days relaxing at home, so the two packed up and headed back to Jersey City
Judy had faked a pregnancy, but after being released from the detention center, she was iddnapped by people sent by Vivian. They smuggled her all the way to
Vivian had promised pady a sate escape with an arranged place to stay and a job overseas but none of that ever happened
Instead, Judy was sold into a telecom scams compound in Cadasa, where she suffered daily abuse, living a life worse than a stray dog.
When Sean’s people tracked her down, the compound boss immediately handed her over as he was too afraid to cross the Jasper family’s powerful connections.
In a dimly lit basement, Judy was tied to a wooden chalt, her hair a tangled mess, her body covered in bruises. She looked completely defeated.
Her injuries weren’t from Sean’s people. They were from the guards at the compound who had beaten her.
Sean stepped in through the basement doorway.
Dressed in all black, his imposing figure was sharp and severe. Shadows seemed to cling to his perfectly handsome face, his expression cold and ruthless.
He sat down on the leather sofa, three or four feet away from Judy, his gaze sharp as a knife.
“Talk, Who ordered you to do it?”
At the sight of him, Jody’s emotions crumbled instantly.
“Sean, please don’t look at me!” Her voice was now and horse, her eyes filled with despair. “I look horrible right now.”

Judy sobbed, shaking her head. “I can’t tell you… I.. Thad no choice. Please, Sean, I’ve loved you for so many years. Can’t you just let me go?”
Sean’s gaze was ice–cold, completely devoid of sympathy
“Talk, and I’ll let you go.
Judy broke down, begging through her teams. “Please, Sean, I can’t. I really can’t tell you just let me go. I never meant to rain your engagement party.
As she spoke, her tone suddenly changed, her face filled with concern, “Are you hurt? I’m so sorry. I never meant to hurt you. 1…”
She never wanted to hunt Chadotte either

Seeing that Sean showed up sign of sympathy, Judy’s hope drained away.
