Chapter 978

After a long, heavy silence, Jules finally tried to make peace. "Ethan, don't worry.

If anything happens at home, I'll take responsibility. You have my word."

Morris's lips quirked into a sly, mocking smile.

Jules had only brought him back because they were father and son-nothing more. Deep down, he couldn't bring himself to trust Morris completely. So when Jackson started slinging mud at Morris, Jules just couldn't step up and defend him outright.

At the end of the day, he was just trying to keep the peace.

Morris spoke up, voice smooth and cool. "In that case, you'd better keep a close eye on your precious little wallet. Mistresses are expensive these days. Don't blow all your money and try to pin it on me."

Jackson's face turned stormy. "Are you calling me out?"

Morris just shrugged. "Just telling it like it is."

Jackson's jaw clenched in anger. He did have a little something on the side-a sweet, quiet girl. He'd set her up in a pretty villa, slipped her plenty of spending money each month, and even let her have his child.
