Chapter 785: Chapter 785: Misunderstanding
She had escaped on the very night he had planned to make her his. She had made him lose face. That alone was enough for him to hold a grudge.His plan had always been straightforward. First, marry Danielle. Then, after the marriage, he would slowly humiliate her, break her spirit, and make her regret rejecting him.
Only then would his wounded pride finally be satisfied. Yet... who would’ve thought that Danielle would become such a difficult nut to crack?
No matter how many times he approached her, she never gave him even the slightest opportunity.
’Does she really think she’s some kind of fairy? How dare she reject someone as handsome as me?’
The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became. Suppressing his annoyance, he put on what he believed was his most charming smile.
"That’s a secret."
"Fine then, just hand me over my mother’s relic!" Danielle frowned harder.
"Oh, that? I don’t have it. I was lying to you." He smiled, causing Danielle to become angry.
"You..."
He slowly extended his hand toward Danielle. "Baby... Why are you acting so cold?"
However, before his fingers could even touch her... Smack! Danielle slapped his hand away without the slightest hesitation.
Her beautiful eyes instantly turned icy. "If you dare come any closer, then just wait. I’ll report you immediately. And you’ll have no choice but to run away with your tail between your legs."
The confidence in her voice wasn’t fake. Jackson immediately froze. A trace of uncertainty appeared in his eyes.
’She’s far too confident... is she really bluffing?’
Just then, a calm voice suddenly echoed from behind. "What’s going on here?"
Both Danielle and Jackson instinctively turned around. A familiar figure was slowly walking toward them. It was Asher.
The moment Jackson recognized him, very trace of confidence disappeared from his face. His complexion instantly turned pale.
Under his breath, he unconsciously muttered, "He’s back..."
Meanwhile, Asher calmly walked over to Danielle. His sharp eyes briefly swept over Jackson before stopping on Danielle’s slightly tense expression.
His brows subtly furrowed. "Is this man bothering you?"
Danielle instinctively shook her head. "No... It’s not like that."
She wanted to explain everything properly. However, before she could finish speaking. Jackson hurriedly interrupted with an awkward laugh. "No, no."
