The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 845 A Man's Wit

Her anger flared again after thinking things through.

"Jax, you heartless bastard! Are you calling me from that woman's bed? Is this your way of coming clean? Have you been with that shameless woman all along?"

Her accusations left Jax puzzled.

"Honey, what are you talking about? I'm not in any woman's bed right now; I'm on a mission at Golden Light Hill. This mission is dangerous, and I might not make it back. That's why I'm calling to confess, as a sort of final message. Just remember to take care of yourself. If I don't come back, don't hold onto my memory forever. Find someone else and be happy. And our child... I trust you to take good care of him. I've got to go now. Goodbye!"

With that, Jax hung up and turned off his phone.

Jax, with his background in psychology, knew very well that framing the confession this way could soften his wife's anger and possibly lead to forgiveness.

By doing so, when he returned home the next day, he just needed to look a bit battered and maybe inflict a few harmless injuries on himself. His wife would likely forget his infidelity in light of his apparent suffering.

This was the wisdom of Jax-a man's cunning!

The ghost in the red dress glared at Jax, her voice filled with suspicion, "Are you playing mind games with your wife?"

"No! Absolutely not! I wouldn't dare! I was completely honest. Every word I said was the truth!" Jax quickly denied her accusations.

"Smack!"

"Smack! Smack!"

The ghost didn't waste more words. She continued to slap Jax relentlessly.

"Enough! You're going to kill him!"

Daniel stepped forward to stop her.

The ghost turned to Daniel, sneering, "Are you another scumbag? Another playboy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ghost floated towards him on her tiptoes, raising her hand to slap him.
