Chapter 369 No Bail

After a one–sided scuffle, Jane snorted disdainfully and gave Christopher a contemptuous glance. “Tsk. I didn’t expect you to have such endurance.”

Christopher’s face bore the marks of Jane’s slaps and scratches, and his suit also showed signs of her aggression. Despite being able to endure, he didn’t retaliate after the initial impulse to slap her.

Jane retorted, “What if I haven’t? Will you return tomorrow for another round of hits?”

His sudden movement startled Jane, causing her to step back.

Jane observed Christopher’s instantly swollen face with a hint of amusement.
