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!

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.
