After taking a shower, Christine received a phone call.

On the other end of the line, Jack stood by the window, his half-closed eyes were fierce. "Did you not hear anything I said?"

When he chose Christine, it was because she was vulnerable and easy to manipulate. She didn't seem very clever either. But if one day she disobeyed, Jack was prepared to deal with her without hesitation. Christine gripped her phone tightly. She hadn't expected Jack to get the news so quickly!

Jack might tolerate other issues, but this particular matter was not something he would allow to happen.

"What?" Christine was genuinely surprised, sounding as if she didn't know anything. "Someone drugged Ms. Wilson? That's impossible. Are you sure you're not mistaken? In a setting like today's, no one would dare tamper with things..."

Of course, she had to act the part completely. She asked, "Wait... what kind of drug was used? Is Ms. Wilson okay?"

Jack squinted his eyes. "It wasn't you?"

While Jack was contemplating, Christine seized the moment and said in an innocent tone, "I only knew you liked her and thought of her as a potential future hostess, so I took a bit of care of her."

Thinking about how pitiful Charlotte was to be liked by such a despicable and selfish man made Christine feel a bit sorry for her. Jack put aside this matter and got straight to the point.
