From the speaker, Hannah Hargrave's voice was frantic and tinged with injury, "Nicholas? Are you listening on the phone?"
"Yes, I'm listening, just say whatever you need to."
Beatrice Hargrave truly admired this bad man, who, though exerting so much effort, could speak so calmly.
Hannah Hargrave bit her lip, and after a long time, she finally spoke, tentatively asking, "Nicholas, is there a woman with you?"
She could detect that kind of sound, a woman's gasp, the sound of flesh colliding, and his obvious heavy breathing...
"No,"
With two words, Nicholas Croft's response was bold and justified, causing a surge of joy in Hannah Hargrave, although she clearly knew he was lying. But since he chose to deceive with a lie, it showed he still cared about you...
However, that joy in her heart didn't last three seconds before being extinguished by Nicholas Croft with a single sentence.
Nicholas Croft said, "Under me."
