| know exactly what to say. I've gone over this conversation a million times in my head.
"Are you sure? If Jayden knows about his daughter, then maybe he wantsand his first born heir back. in his
life. That's if she is his daughter, which she isn't.)
Phillip pipes up again, "And | must say, | do love Winona and I'll always be there for Abby as her father, but I
wouldn't stand in the way of Jayden being with his own flesh and blood. What kind of monster would do that?
Jayden would be sure to hate anyone if he found but they did that to him."
"You are both playing a dangerous game!" She clearly knows she's painted herself into a corner and | now have
the upper hand. "So you're saying if Jayden has another child, you won't be claiming any of the billions for your
daughter as the rightful heir, if she was?"
Interesting. Jayden having more kids hasn't cup before. What are they up to? | bet Judy has been trying to
make Ashlyn get pregnant with Jayden as fast as she can.
"No. If she was Jayden's daughter, I'd be keeping her as far away from all that as possible. You people make me
sick. I'd rather she has a proper life as a child not one where she's groomed to do what you want."
"Whatever. You sound so self-righteous: But you aren't Miss Perfect, are you?"
| shrug and take Phillip's hand and choose to ignore that comment. "And if you don't withdraw whatever threat
you made to Johnstone Academy, I'll tell him Abby is his daughter and that you've known all along. Then you can
spend your tand money proving she isn't." She smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes. "You're smart, | can give
you that, you and your little puppet here. But none of this is over. Not by a long shot. I'll see you permanently
out of Jayden's life one way or another."
"Oops now, Judy. Careful what you say."
Phillip walks to the shelves behindand picks up his phone that was standing between the artworks. | never

He taps on the screen and waves it in front of her face. "You never know when you're being recorded these days.
Cameras are everywhere."
Judy's face goes red and her frown deepens. "Don't get too cocky."
"It's already saved to my cloud and if you continue to harass my family or me, | will send it out to the media.
Then we'll see just what Jayden really thinks of you controlling his life," Phillip finishes up by placing his cell
phone in his pocket. "Don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you, Judy. | have a lot of work to do |

She looks between us both and shakes her head. "You think you've won but you haven't. Now you've just made

be here. Doesn't hurt to be prepared." "Jesus, remindto never piss you off. Stealthy as." laugh. "I really

"Apparently sof the newer board members resent how she's still pulling strings with the older members.
When Jayden took his leave of absence to get well, Judy stepped up as CEO. She tried everything to get them to
oust Jayden because of his mental capacity." "She really is a piece of work!"
"Not only is she now on the board of directors here but she has many of them as close personal friends and she
makes svery hefty donations to things they support."
"Just like with the school. Money means power for her and she has plenty of it."
"But we have something she can never have. Jayden's first born."
"I don't want to use Abby as a pawn. None of this is her fault and it's exactly why | was protecting her."
"I know. But you will let Jayden know when the tis right and | believe he will also protect his daughter. So this
is temporary. It gives you an edge that you need right now." "True."
"I meant what | said. I'll do anything for you and Abby but | won't stand in the way of your happiness or Abby
knowing her real father."
"I don't want to stand in the way of your happiness either. You can't give up your whole life pretending for us. I'd
hate that. | want to see you blissfully happy with a houseful of kids."
"| think this will all sort itself out eventually. If | feel an attraction to anyone else, | promise I'll let you know and
we'll work it out."
"You better. Anything you need from me, you just say."
"Being here, learning from the best, having millions in my bank account is something | could never have
dreamed of. You are the best friend a guy could have. Trust me. You've done enough."
| give him a hug. "This is the last t| want anything like this discussed at work. Not just in my office. Be careful
what you say to anyone about me, Abby, anything."
"You think Judy will have eyes and ears everywhere?"
"Damn right | do. No one can be trusted."
That afternoon, | got a phone call that the earlier refusal was a mistake, they are happy to have Abby enrolled
