Chapter 20 The Reporter Is Ms. Edwards(1)
"Now, now," Tameka coaxed Judson after annoying him. "It's rare for you to come to my place. I've got something nice for you. Come upstairs and take a look."
When they arrived at Tameka's office, she took out two albums.
Tameka handed one of them to Judson.
Judson casually glanced at it. He immediately frowned slightly and snapped it shut.
"What's this?"
Tameka sat in her chair and swiveled around.
"I'm still keeping the matters between you and Rose a secret from your grandfather..."
"Matters between us?" Judson's tone grew cranky. "She made a scene. Just ignore her. The more we care about her, the more arrogant she will be..."
Tameka acted as if she hadn't heard what Judson had said. She continued with her own topic, "If your grandpa finds out that you two broke up, I don't know what will happen to him on his 80th birthday. You'd better hurry up and pick a new girlfriend to pacify him first."
Judson thought, "If I bring a new girlfriend to Grandpa after breaking up with Rose, he will be pissed off to death."
Judson was irritated. "Mom, can you stop messing around?"
Tameka turned a deaf ear to his words, flipped open the album, held it upright, and showed the girls' pictures to Judson.
"Look, these pretty young girls are all from noble families. Choose one right away, so I can go help Rose."
Judson frowned, wondering what other tricks Tameka hadn't shown.
"Rose?"
"Yeah," Tameka put down the album in her hand, picked up another one next to her, and flipped it open with a smile. "The Edwards family did us a great favor, and I have always worried about Rose's marriage. In the past, I was stupid enough to set you up, resulting in your bad ending. Now I've come around..."
She turned to a page and pointed at it before Judson. "The second son of Donlim Group's president. He's a good-looking man with a good character. Does he suit Rose?"
"No!" Judson slapped the album with a livid face. "The Edwards family has long declined. She is not qualified to marry into such a good family."
"You don't need to worry about this." Tameka's face turned cold and flung the album of girls at Judson.
"Mind your own business and pick a new girlfriend. You're not important. What our family needs is a daughter-in-law."
Judson had to take Tameka's unreasonable request seriously.
"I'll get Rose back before dinner today, okay?"
Tameka gave a winning smile. "Do you know where she is?"
Judson was slightly stunned. "You know?"
He didn't even know his eyes were becoming terrifying when he thought of where Rose might have gone.
Tameka raised her head with pride. "No."
Judson was speechless.
He straightened up, not wanting to waste more time on her.
"I'll bring her back. Nothing like that will happen again until my grandpa's birthday party."
Tameka gazed silently into Judson's eyes. He couldn't read her pretty face.
"Mr. Roach!" Isidro broke in, flustered. "The legal team found out who the report was. They want to know if you still want to sue her."
The topic changed drastically.
Judson did a double-take before frowning. "Of course! What's wrong with her identity?"
Isidro felt that the recent things would make him lose at least three years of his life.
He stammered, "Yes..."
Isidro glanced at Tameka, who was dazed. "Mr. Roach, should we go out first or wait..."
"Say it now." Judson wasn't that patient. He was not in the mood to care about that reporter right now.
Isidro gathered his courage to speak energetically.
"At the request of our lawyers, Flourish Media provided Fatima's real name so that we can sue her."
"And then?" Judson didn't understand why Isidro had made such a fuss about a reporter.
Judson felt after working with him for many years, Isidro had become even less collected than before.
Isidro breathed more heavily, his voice growing louder.
"Fatima ... is Ms. Edwards!"
