The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 842

"Men like you who betray their wives deserve to be slapped to death! The only reason I haven’t castrated you is because I’m being lenient! Call your wife now and tell her everything. No lying! Or I will kill you!" the ghost in the red dress demanded, her expression twisted with fury, as though she'd just caught her own husband cheating.

Jax had no choice but to refuse her unreasonable demand.

He knew his wife's temper far too well. If she found out he’d been sneaking around with his first love and had slept with her twice in one night, Jax had no doubt she would kill him.

So, confessing was absolutely out of the question. No way could he tell his wife the truth!

Paralyzed by fear, Jax stood there in silence as the ghost grew more agitated.

“Smack!”

She slapped him again, fiercer this time.

“What are you standing there for? Call your wife! Confess everything! If you lie to her, even for a second, I’ll kill you today!” she screamed.

The ghost wasn’t bluffing. Her slaps not only left Jax’s face swollen but also damaged his very soul.
