Ex-husband’s Regret by Lean

Chapter 425

At a certain six-star hotel.

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!

Fortunately, she had anticipated that Jack might find out and come to question her. She wasn't too flustered, and presented the explanation she had prepared, feigning ignorance. "Did I do something wrong to make you angry?"

Jack's face was dark. "Someone drugged Charlotte at the party!"

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?"

"Of course not..."
