Julian's Stand in Wife novel Chapter 1530

Marcus glanced at her. "Nina Ashlee."

His tone was not heavy, but it carried a chilling undertone that made one's hair stand on end.

Nina realized she had misspoken, and had angered Marcus.

She quickly told Sean, "I need to do something with your godfather, so I'll hang up now!"

Without waiting for Diana's response, she promptly ended the call.

"Do something?" Marcus leaned in so close that he was almost nose-to-nose with her.

The assistant's eyes widened in alarm.

He wanted to shout a warning, "Mr. Jensen, stay calm! You can't kiss her!"

But he didn't.

With an eerie tone, Marcus asked, "Do what?"

His hand gripped her chin tightly, almost as if he intended to crush it, and he leaned in closer.

Nina could practically see every detail of his smooth skin and the subtle tremble of his thin lips.

Nina's heart skipped a beat—not out of romantic feelings, but because the man before her was undeniably captivating.

Unlike Vans and Julian, Marcus exuded a chilling allure. Yet, his eyes were deeply passionate.

No wonder he consistently topped the entertainment charts as the most handsome man, according to public polls!

"N-Nothing..." Nina tried to avert her gaze to avoid his penetrating stare, but Marcus's grip only tightened.

"If I hear you speak like that again, it won't be as simple as that."

His words were ambiguous, yet his chilling tone made Nina think otherwise.

"I'm sorry," she quickly tried to explain, "my godson was worried about me, and to reassure him and his mother, I just—"

Marcus wasn't interested in her explanations. He interrupted her, "Do you know Fanny Smith?"

Fanny!

Nina's full attention was instantly captured. "Yes! I know her!"

She had discussed Fanny with Diana during their phone call yesterday, and now, Fanny's name was making headlines.

Diana had sounded deeply concerned about it.
