Angeline quickly muffled the phone's mic and looked a t Jay guiltily.
There was a trace of mockery in Jay's eyes.
Angeline knew that her lie had been exposed, so she did not hide it further.
"I'll be there right away," she spoke into the phone.
Jay elegantly waved at her, and all that he had to say t o her was, "You can get out of here now."
Angeline looked at him angrily. "Hey, I saved you last night. Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Jay looked up, and those dark, charming eyes appeared wider than the midnight sky. No one could figure out his emotions.
"If you’d stay away from me, I'd be more thankful, actually,” he muttered.
Angeline was enraged. "You b*stard, don't you have a conscience? If I hadn't saved you, your corpse would probably be lying out in the sun already for everyone t o see."
Jay retorted, "It’s better than letting people think that I’m being kept by you."
Angeline was speechless.
In reality, she caused him so much disturbance by
getting near him.
He was a proud man who prioritized his reputation much more than anything else. How could he allow himself to be kept by a rich woman?
Jay noticed that Angeline had gone silent. He thought that she was thinking about her actions and reflecting on her conscience.
Instead, Angeline walked up to him and said with certainty, "Brother Ben, I'll make you love me someday -more than your reputation and your life."
