Chapter 1575

Jamie was clearly displeased with Ben's attitude.

"You're doubting my sister?" she snapped.

"That's not what I meant," Ben said, rubbing his temples as he realized how poorly he had expressed himself.

But Jamie wasn't in the mood to listen.

"Ben. No, I should call you by your real name, Jack Green. Do you even understand how much she sacrificed for you? How could you doubt her?"

"Jamie, I told you that's not what I meant-"

Jamie cut him off. The joy she had felt just moments ago now felt like someone had dumped cold water over her.
