There was a heavy, dark cloud hanging over Hudson. Even with his mask on, Jaxon could feel the strong killing intent radiating from him.

Jaxon felt a chill run down his spine and rubbed his arms. Why does the weather feel so chilly and unpredictable today? he wondered. “Jaxon, bthis /bis for you,” Amber said as she handed him the box.

Jaxon opened it band /bfound a luxurious ck watch inside. It looked expensive

“Amber, this gift bis /bway too expensive. I really don’t know what I bcan/b… Jaxon bsaid/b, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Before he could finish, bAmber /bcut him off. Like I said, it’s a gift for you. I don’t want anything in return.”

bWith /ba loud thud. Hudson suddenly let go of all the bags he was carrying for Amber.

The bags tumbled to the floor, and even the pink suitcase crashed down with them.

Amber was startled. She hurriedly bent down to pick up the bthings/b. She lost her cool and snapped, “Hudson, what the hell is wrong with you? These are my things! Are you crazy or something?”

Hudson said bcoldly/b, “My time’s up. I don’t have to work for byou /banymore

With that, he strode off without looking back.

Amber was furious. She watched his retreating back and yelled at the top of her lungs, “Hudson! You heartless bastard! Is this how you do business? bI’m /bnever hiring you again, you jerk! You’re insane!

But Hudson was already long gone. Jaxon helped her pick up her things. Ainber, don’t be mad. I’ll take you home.”

“Okay, Jaxon. You’re so much nicer, Amber said, calming down a bit.

Hudson kicked a bottle aside and spotted a couple of kids tossing bottles around near the trash can.

With a stormy look on his face, he marched over. “Hey! What are you doing?”

The kids turned around and saw this towering man in ck shades, looking absolutely terrifying. They instantly burst into tears,

Hudson warned them, “If I catch byou /blittering again, I’ll spank byou /btill you can’t sit down.”

The kids ran off bawling and screaming, searching for their moms,

The more Hudson thought about it, the more pissed off he got. He’d spent ball /bofst night convinced bthat /bthe watch Amber bought was meant bfor /bhimb. /b

“Damn it, turns out it was for that bsnot/bb–/bnosed brat Jaxon! And she had the nerve to call me heartless? She’s the real heartless one! he fumed.

Alex got ba /bcall from Hudson and hurried over. “Mr. Grant”

“What took byou /bbso /bblong/b? bDo /bbyou /bhave any idea how long I’ve been waiting?” Hudson snapped.

Alex was startled. Has Mr. bGrant /bgone off the deep end? Why is his temper bso /bexplosive today?

“Y–yes, it’s my fault, bBoss/b. Please, get in the car, Alex bstammered/b.

“Did you see Amber?” Hudson asked, his face bfrosty/b. Since Alex came from that direction, he was sure Alex must’ve run into Amber.

Alex replied honestly, “Oh, Miss Amber? Yeah, I saw her. Some guy came to pick her up. Probably her boyfriend, I guess.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, he met Hudson’s face, which was now as grim bas /bba /bbstorm/b–cloaked night. Alex shivered all bover /b

Did I just say something bwrong/b? No way, I bdon’t /bbthink /bI did, Alex thought, feeling a little uneasy.

Chapter b364 /b

“Boyfriend? Did she say that to you herself?” Hudson shot bback/b, his tone icy.

Alex bgave /ban awkward smile. “No, not really. That was just my guess.

Before he could bfinish/b, Hudson snapped, “Who asked for your bopinion/bb? /bThat little punk’s barely out of diapers. Tell bme/b, what could Amber possibly see bin /ba guy like him?”

‘Oh Alex suddenly realized what bwas /bbgoing /bon.

“Mr. Grant’s totally jealous, he thought.

Alex bquickly /bbackpedaled, saying, “That guy looks pretty average. He can’t hold a candle to you. bAmong /bthe two of you. Amber would totally go for you

Hearing that, Hudson finally looked a little less pissed.

“He’s not even in the same league as me. If Amber actually likes him, she must be blind–a total fool,” Hudson muttered
