Chapter 166 The Eve of Battle

“And that proves nothing?” Jackson asked, his disbelief turning to anger.

Marcus simply let out a low, rough laugh.

“I don’t care what the truth is,” Jackson pressed, his voice tight. “Stay away from her. We’re not divorced yet.”

“You don’t really want this divorce, do you?” Marcus’s voice dropped, a chilling edge to his tone.

The question caught Jackson off guard. He hesitated for a moment before answering. “To be honest, I never thought she would leave me. She’s the one who insisted on it. What was I supposed to do?”
