The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 842 The Woman’s Gaze

"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.

A few more of these ghostly slaps could shatter his soul entirely. And if his soul was shattered, Jax would die.

Daniel stood by, hands in his pockets, watching it all unfold with no intention of helping.

Chloe poked him in the side with her finger, annoyed, "Daniel, what are you standing here watching for? Can't you see Jax is being bullied by that ghost in the red dress? He's been slapped so many times! Why don't you help him?"

"Chloe, that ghost is doing a service. She's punishing a scumbag! She's teaching Jax a lesson on behalf of his wife. Besides, Jax cheated on his wife. He has to confess his mistakes to her.

To be honest,see no reason to help Jax. He's a married man, and he betrayed his wife. This is his own fault, and he should face the consequences," Daniel replied earnestly, as if he hadn't enticed

other women himself. Daniel, too,

was a married man.

"Men are all the same," Chloe sighed.

"What do you mean, 'all the same'? I'm a perfect gentleman!" Daniel retorted, trying to paint himself as the ideal man.

"Ha!" Chloe scoffed, giving him a skeptical look, "You, a gentleman? If you're a good man, then there are no bad men in the world! I don't buy it for a second."

Despite never having been in a relationship, Chloe had seen enough from her years as a squad leader to know all sorts of men.

So, from the moment she first laid eyes on Daniel, she knew this little troublemaker wasn't up to any good, at least not when it came to women.
