Jack was disappointed since Stephanie didn’t want to explain anything.
He couldn’t believe that Stephanie, who had always stayed quiet and obedient, would betray him like this. He put on hand on her waist, while the other gripped her jaw. 'Stephanie Brown, this is the last time I warn you. If anything goes wrong with the child, you are not the only one that will die with him. Your family and all people who once cared for you will go with you. You know I hate joking!'
Jack’s handsome face seemed aggressive. His words gave her a wry smile. Stephanie didn’t resist.
'Jack, this thing is between you and me. Leave Shawn alone.' Stephanie’s face was covered in pain. In Jack’s view, she had no right to argue. She merely owed his brother a life.
Stephanie looked at Jack miserably. For now, he would not hear a word from anyone, let alone she was the one who owed Steve a life.
