Chapter 778

Dailey's eyes were ablaze with fury, "If he didn't deliver, and anything happened to Christine, I'd tear him apart." Jane had always known Dailey to be aloof, always hitting the nail on the head, solving problems with precision.

Now, she saw no significant difference between him and Clarence.
