Chapter 81

Chapter 2

Jessica's whereabouts had always been a mystery, and Richard suspected I knew something.

But honestly, how could I possibly know where she was?

I could only respond defensively: "She's an adult. I can't keep track of her all the time. I'm not her babysitter!"

Richard's expression darkened. He released my hair and slapped me hard, causing my ears to ring and my cheek to burn. Despite my anger, I felt a flicker of anticipation.

This was only the beginning...

Seeing my defiance, Richard gripped my chin and said: "Do you think I can't handle you just because you refuse to talk?"

He grabbed my phone, unlocked it using my face, and scrolled through my contacts.

Finding my husband James's number, Richard smirked and dialed it without hesitation.

The phone rang.

"Hello?"

James's familiar, gentle voice answered.

I tried to speak, but a bodyguard covered my mouth.

"You must be Mary's husband," Richard said coldly.

"Who's calling?"

James's tone was tight with concern.

Richard looked at me defiantly and said: "I'm Mary's ex. But don't worry, I'm married now and have no interest in her."
