Lance dared not sit as he fished out his smartphone and played the recording for Jonathan to hear.
In the hushed room, Manley's voice soon filled the silence.
"Hold me just a little longer!"
"Been ages since I've seen ya. Don't you miss me?"
"I missed you so much I'm practically skin and bones!"
"I'm here to stay this time!"
"Dad said all I gotta do is find a decent girlfriend, and he'll let me come back!"
"That's easy. I'll introduce you to him in a jiffy!"
It was all Manley, his excitement laced with a suggestive undertone, flippant yet seemingly sincere. His voice trailed off with an affectionate lilt that, even without seeing his face, conveyed his deep love for the girl.
Jonathan's eyes were half-closed, his lips pressed into a thin line, his whole being radiated a chilling aura, even a whiff of deadly intent.
Watching the man's expression, Lance spoke cautiously, "After that, Manley hit me, and I passed out. Whatever happened between them next, I have no idea. But I saw that Manley was holding on to that girl the whole time."
As he finished speaking, Jonathan's presence grew even more formidable. He got up, his piercing gaze fixed on Lance, and without another word, kicked him square in the chest.
Lance went flying backward, crashing to the ground with a thud.
Pain exploded in his chest, his ribs felt broken, and two teeth were chipped. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as he writhed in agony on the floor.
Jonathan shed his overcoat, now in just a black shirt, looking stunning yet deadly. His approach was so oppressive that Lance couldn't help but scramble back.
