Chapter 774

Chapter 774 She Must Be by Her Side

"What did you guys say? Who passed away?" When she overheard the crew members discussing, Jude was in the midst of memorizing her lines and thought that she had misheard their words. "It's Pierre Fowler, the president of Fowler Corporation and Empire Group. Sigh, why is the world unfair to handsome and rich people?"

"I know, right? Still, I guess money really can't buy us health. We should be grateful that we are able to live until now." All of the crew members sympathized with each other.

"Pierre? Am I hearing things? Do you guys mean Pierre Fowler?" Jude had difficulties in believing her ears.

"Yes, you heard it correctly. Pierre Fowler has indeed passed away and everyone was shocked too. This news has been on the headlines in every tabloid for a few days now!"

"I also heard that there might be changes in Fowler Corporation's internal management. Many said that Pierre Fowler's death was fishy and it might actually be related to his wife, Selena Yard." "That's what I thought as well! There are no pure love stories among the elites-only tricks and manipulations. Looks like Selena will inherit all of his fortune now."

"That's bullsh*t!" Jude abruptly stood up and threw her script on the ground. At that moment, all of the crew members stared at her in shock as they didn't know why she was reacting like that.

It was the first time that Jude took leave from the filming crew as she rushed home and abruptly entered the study room while Satan was still working there.

He then motioned for his men to leave. "You guys should take your leave first." Then, all of Satan's men left the study room. "What's wrong?"

"I just heard something terrible and I want to clarify with you whether it's real." She stared at Satan. "It's true." He confirmed the news. Jude felt like she was about to faint. "You didn't even ask me what it is, though?"

"Do you think that there's anyone or anything besides Selena that would make you rush home from the filming site?"

Jude walked closer to Satan. "Satan, is he really dead? Is Pierre dead?"

She couldn't believe that it was true. "Yes."

"How did he die?" "He died in an explosion," he answered truthfully. Initially, he wanted to hide it from her, but he knew that she would have to know about it sooner or later.

Then, the gaze Jude had on Satan became confused. "Did...you do it?"

Although she knew that he and Pierre were against each other and even suspected that such a day would come, she didn't expect for that day to come easily.

"No. Someone else did it." Satan's eyes met hers. As Jude believed in Satan, she felt slightly relieved.

"Pierre's side had been recently making preparations and I've always thought that they were coming for us. However, the moment I found out that they weren't was when I received the news about his death."

Then, Jude placed her hand against her chest because her heart was racing while she placed her other hand on the table for support. She couldn't imagine how Selena was doing now since Pierre's death had happened a few days ago. Jude really hated herself for not being by Selena's side when she needed Jude the most.

Jude immediately came back to her senses. "I need to go back." "You can't," Satan responded with an instructing tone. It had been a long time since he spoke to her like that ever since they became a couple. "I must go back! Selena... Selena needs me. How can I not be by her side at this point of time?" Jude could already predict how Selena would react right now, so she needed to return to stay by Selena's side.

"I said, you can't go back." He refused to let her leave. At this moment, Jude felt like Satan was being too ridiculous, so she immediately turned to leave the study room. However, she was stopped when she was heading downstairs.
