Chapter 243
Amber's face darkened slightly. Judy's words stung her deeply, and Amber said, "Judy, everything I've ever done was for you. You're being way too harsh.
"If it weren't for you, why would I have schemed my way into marrying into the Willis family in the first place? Everything I did was so you could have a better life. You're so ungrateful."
"But I'm not even a child of the Willis family. I'm not. You're going to ruin me! Just that fact alone is enough to make me lose everything!" Judy's emotions were out of control. She was on the verge of losing her mind. Amber was dumbfounded, realizing just how much this matter bothered Judy. She quickly said, "Calm down, or it'll be bad for the baby. Since there's a problem, I'll fix it.
"Once Karen and your father are out of the picture, everything will be easier to handle, right? Don't worry. Everything will fall into place soon. I'll take care of Karen right away."
"I-I really have nothing left to say to you. Get out of here. I don't want to see you again. Leave! Just go! You're such an unbearable nuisance." Judy snapped, still unable to forgive Amber.
Judy thought bitterly, 'Everything that's gone wrong in my life is because of Amber. It's all her fault.
Amber løved Judy so much that she couldn't bear to leave her like this, worried that Judy's constant irritation would harm her health. Amber stayed, trying to soothe Judy, begging for forgiveness, and promising to make amends.
But Judy was too annoyed to listen. She started throwing things again and forcibly drove Amber out. Seeing how agitated Judy had become, Amber finally gave in.
She was genuinely worried that Judy's health might deteriorate further, so she reluctantly stepped outside but stayed nearby to keep watch.
Once outside, Amber called Judy's secretary to find out what had happened. The secretary reported that everything at the company was running smoothly and had no issues at all.
Amber concluded that whatever had upset Judy so much likely had to do with Elvira. She went online to search for news about Elvira but found nothing.
Elvira had taken the opportunity to promote Morris and Cheryl while erasing any mentions of herself. Naturally, Amber came up empty-handed.
Just as Judy suspected, the movie Elvira had invested in, which had initially garnered very little attention, was now one of the hottest topics online after the recent events. It had become the most highly anticipated film, far outshining the one Judy had backed, This surge in popularity was no accident. Elvira's PR team had been working overtime, releasing countless press statements to capitalize on the buzz.
Thanks to Judy's misstep, any trending topic involving Morris and Cheryl became an instant sensation, saving Elvira at least 20 million dollars in marketing expenses.
Seizing the moment, Elvira borrowed Cole's phone to call Judy. Given how much Judy had indirectly helped her, Elvira felt she ought to express her gratitude personally. Judy, already feeling frustrated with everything, was fuming at the thought of Elvira. When her phone rang, she answered without even looking at the caller ID. "Hello?"Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
"Judy, I'm calling to thank you personally," Elvira said cheerfully. Thanks to all the effort you put into promoting my movie, I didn't have to spend a single dime for it to become the hottest topic online.

Judy nearly exploded with rage at Elvira's smug tone. Clenching her teeth, she hissed. "Elvira, you're despicable. You set me up!
'Don't pin the blame on me," Elvira replied nonchalantly. "You're the one who tried to take me and my cast down. What, now you want to play the victim? I only set the stage, Judy, but whether or not you stepped into it was entirely up to you. "You fell for it because you're just that vile, shameless, and downright despicable." Elvira's words were sharp, and her voice was laced with laughter.
"Damn it! So you admit you set a trap for me?" Judy snapped.
"Wrong again. I set the trap, and you're the one who chose to walk into it. Did I force you? By the way, I heard your grandmother hasn't been feeling well lately. You should really keep a close eye on her health.
"After all, she is your biological grandmother," Elvira added, her emphasis heavy with mockery. Before Judy could respond, Elvira hung up the phone.
Feeling triumphant, Elvira handed the phone back to Cole. She was confident that everything that had happened, combined with the call she had just made, would leave Judy stewing in misery for quite some time. Cole took the phone and glanced at Elvira. "This should keep you happy for a while."
"Of course! Watching the person I despise the most suffer is pure bliss. And this time, I'll make sure she's left with no chance to fight back," Elvira said, a satisfied smile spreading across her face as she thought about the trump card she still held. 'Just a little longer, and I'll have every member of the Willis family in my grasp. I won't let a single one of them go. None of them will have an easy time,' Elvira thought coldly.

Even her grandmother Karen and her father Vincent wouldn't be spared from her plans.
"When Judy gets off the phone, she'll be even angrier. This is so satisfying." Elvira couldn't stop laughing. Revenge felt so much better when she handled it herself. If she'd let someone else do it, even if it succeeded, it wouldn't have brought this kind of thrill.
As expected, Judy, who had barely managed to calm herself, completely lost it again after Elvira's call. The attempt to collect herself was a total failure. She was now screaming and crying uncontrollably. Worried, Amber quickly rushed in to check on her. She shut the door tightly to keep anyone from overhearing and hurried to Judy's side.
"That damn bitch Elvira! I hope she dies a miserable death!" Judy screamed in a fit of rage.
When Amber realized that it was Elvira who had upset Judy again, she was furious, but she felt powerless. Amber had exhausted almost every plan she had, yet nothing had managed to harm Elvira in the slightest.
"And you!" Judy snapped, her voice trembling with despair. "Why did you have to ruin me? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this helpless situation. You've destroyed me. I'd rather not have been born to you!"
The revelation that she wasn't a Willis family bloodline was like a death sentence to her. No matter how hard Judy fought, there was no way out.
"Ini sorry. This is all my fault. But please, take care of yourself. Trust me... I won't let Karen live to see tomorrow's sunrise, Just wait for me. Tll handle it." Amber, seeing Judy in such anguish, rubbed her face harshly and turned to leave.
This time, Amber was resolute. For Judy, she was willing to do anything. Karen and Vincent were threats as long as they were alive. Only when they were gone could Judy finally find peace.
Since I'm the one who caused Judy so much pain, it's up to me to fix it, Amber thought, her mind set
Judy, still unable to calm down, tacitly allowed Amber to go through with her plan. In Judy's heart, it was Amber's responsibility to fix this. It was Amber's mistakes that had left Judy so helpless and tormented. Amber should be the one to resolve it, no matter what it took.
