Chapter 41
Jaxson’s eyes darkened slightly.“Oh? I’d like to hear more.”
Reynald leaned against the car door and smiled.“After all, she was Mr. Kendall’s favorite student. As her mentor, what does it matter to me?”
He nodded and said, “I hope you have the ability now.”
Reynald’s smile faded.
Without waiting for his response, Jaxson forcibly pulled me away.
I struggled, but couldn’t break free.
Only when he yanked me to his car did I finally wrench my arm back.
I shouted, “Jaxson, is this about getting justice for your precious first love? Fine! What’s your move now? Hand me over to the police? What’s my crime–petty theft? Want me locked up so you
and your saintly Caroline can finally be together?”
“If that’s the case, then it’s better to get a divorce early, so that Mr. Hamilton, you won’t be poked in the spine by others, saying that you have an ex–wife who steals and pilfers.”
“Finished?”
Jaxson pushed me against the car door. I turned my face away and didn’t look at him.
The man pinched my chin, forcing me to look directly at him.
He gazed at my pale, palm–sized face with a slight frown.
“Who said anything about jail? Stop putting words in my mouth.”
I sneered.“So you want me to apologize?” He always did that anyway.
“You slapped her.”
“So what?” My smile faded, looking at him calmly.“Are you going to fight back for her?”
Jaxson’s gaze locked onto mine. We had been married for six years, and he still didn’t know that I could be stubborn at times. I found it more pleasing than before to go with the flow.
“Didn’t realize you had claws.”
I froze suddenly.“What do you mean?” Was I a soft persimmon? So he said I was easy to handle, right! Jaxson let go of me, loosened his tie.“Consider this over. Don’t bring it up again in the future, and don’t provoke Caroline again.”
