Meanwhile, Jenny was partying at home with her mother and son together with Judy over the company net worth. They were now worth 80 billion and their only shareholder was Just Brand, Henry’s company. Their company kept increasing and different companies came to invest but she accepted only few.
The scandal didn’t shake her at all as she had already known she had broken Jerry by half. She had every evidence to bring him down but that is when Juanita gives birth. She allowed them to enjoy their newfound wealth and to invest with stolen money. She smiled at Alexis who was growing well beside her. He was a year and 6 months. She had 4 months left to end everything. Alexis Brandon was a sweet little child. He gave Jenny little stress when she was bringing him into the world and she provided a lot of time for him.
Who is Judy? Judy is Jenny’s vice president. Judy was the daughter of an ex soldier. She was well trained and had connections with the underworld and in the world. She was a pretty young girl with exquisite features. She was trained for the business world but unfortunately her parents both died and left her. All the properties were taken by the government and all her accounts frozen. She was 19 when all this happened. She left to the street. Nobody accepted to help her only those with higher power but she rejected them. She preferred to live a lowly life and then began her stay in the street were Jerry stayed with his grandma who died two years ago. He was 20 then. There, she learned and blended with the street and it resulted in her meeting Jerry.
“I am Jerry,” he had introduced that day smiling.
“Judy,” she replied him, smiling back. With those introductions the two began their life together and were known as couples.
Jerry had told her his identity as a Brandon. He told her he had an elder brother who was skilled in the business world. Judy also told him briefly about her family. They were both young and had their desires on being rich and powerful one day. Judy felt she could accomplish it with Jerry by her side. She didn’t tell him she had a big business empire that was growing. One the government didn’t know belong to her. One she grew from scratch. She displayed the poor type of girl and Jerry kept showing her love. On two occasions she got pregnant and Jerry had convinced her to get rid of it until they got married. They could have lots of children but now was not the time. Judy blinded by love wiped them away and maintained her faithfulness to Jerry who was unfaithful as he began having dealings with Juanita. When Judy found out, she was heartbroken. When she confronted Jerry, he agreed that yes he loves Juanita and she was just his girlfriend he loved using. Judy felt pained and left the street. A year later, Jenny contacted her and convinced her about the revenge part. She didn’t tell Judy all about it but she gave Judy reasons why she should accept her offer. The two, Judy and Jenny had met once during an introduction meeting of Jenny to Jerry. Jerry introduced her to Jenny as his wife to be and Jenny smiled and welcomed Judy but then she heard they broke up and she didn’t reach out to know why until this incident happened.
Judy smiled at Jenny in the small study room as they kept their evidences and recordings safe. “I hope he will rot in Jail?” Judy asked. Remembering her two babies she washed out.
“It’s not in our hands for his sentence,” Jenny replied, “it’s in the laws hands.” Silence ensued and Jenny continued, “you are not getting young,” she paused, “you are 24, you need to marry.”
Judy smiled at Jenny, “I will be comfortable marrying when we have both made Jerry pay for his sins,” she said to Jenny, “I almost lost my womb,” she added with a rare smile.
“Then, we start. One scandal after the other for the next four months. I was thinking we should show Juanita mercy until she gives birth but I don’t think they deserve that mercy,” she paused, “besides I miss my husband a lot and I need to send Patty away before things get out of hand,” she continued, “my son deserves to be with his dad. He is a Brandon not a McCarthy,” she said and they both laughed.
Episode 14
12 midnight, a scandal again broke out. It was about a certain boutique owner in the middle of town. He was using his boutique as a cover up for frauds. The post didn’t give explanations about the type of fraud nor how they knew about it.
The very next day, Police raided the boutique but ended up finding nothing. They only saw clothes, shoes, bags, jewelries in the shop. It didn’t look like a place where underhanded deals were done. The police went back to their station without finding evidence.
The IP Address of the post was not found as it was immediately deleted. After many brain cracking its location was found in the boutique. Someone stayed in the boutique and posted it. But was it so?
…………..
Behind a system, sat Judy. It’s been 3 years. She had the brains and the beauty but was not using it. She had connections but turned them down. Jenny had told her that the best revenge is when you pretend you have nothing and make them fall. Then show them they have nothing. They loosed out. She had a company that deals with technology. It was booming and it was some of her technologists that were working for Jenny. She had money but now she had to keep a low profile and bear being Jenny’s vice president.
“Bae,” a voice called.
She turned and looked at Luke coming close to her, she sighed then smiled, “I am sorry,” she told him when he approached her.
“It’s okay,” he told her and picked her up, “you need to sleep.”
“I will,” she replied and yawned, she looked at Luke through her sleepy eyes, “thank you for being here with me.”
“No problem,” he replied her and laid her on the bed.
“He has forgotten about me and the promises,” she cried out to Luke, “I almost lost my womb from the last abortion but Jerry tossed me aside and went to Juanita and married her instantly. Why didn’t he tell her to remove it,” she cried out to Luke. Anytime she saw Juanita with her pregnancy, she remembers how foolish and naïve she was to remove and trust in Jerry’s words. She was on the verge of losing herself when she met Luke at a hospital. He helped her stabilize and since then the both of them had been together.
“He might have his reasons,” Luke said to her, “don’t worry about him. I am here for you,” he told her and kissed her lips then lay down on the sides with her.
“Dear, I am grateful to you,” she told him and fell asleep.
