Chapter 699

Christine was sharp as a tack, immediately catching on to Dailey’s game.

This guy, all high and mighty on the surface, was actually testing her.

If she asked Merritt to leave, it would play right into his hands.

Clearing the field, letting Merritt go – it was all just a sideways confirmation that she hadn’t truly moved on from him.

In her heart, he still held a place more significant than any new flame.

Christine’s smile was tinged with irony. “I refuse, Mr. Clarkson. If you don’t let go of me right now, I’ll have my little brother call Jane.”

“Imagine, a young man calling Jane at this hour. What do you think, Gregory would do?”

Silence fell.

Who knew Gregory’s temperament better than Dailey?

And Christine was indeed someone who would follow through with such a threat.

Finally, his grip on her loosened and she swiftly moved away from him, arm in arm with Merritt.
