Jimmy frowned at Lindsey, who suddenly blushed for no reason and even looked at him lovingly. It was disgusting to be stared at by someone as despicable as Lindsey.
Following a dry cough, Jimmy straightened his body and tried to stay far away from her. "Do you plan to just look at me like this?"
Upon regaining her senses, she stuttered, "I- I'm sorry. I was thinking about something else..."
As she raised her beautiful eyes, her voice was more charming than before. "You are my brother-in-law, so please answer my previous question."
Why did she mention 'brother-in-law' so abruptly?
Didn't she act like a feisty woman not long ago? How could she change her attitude so fast?
"Why don't you answer me first? How did you know about my relationship problem with Ariah?"
"Our circle is not big, so it is very easy to know about one's family affairs. Many people have been talking about your marriage, which was how I got to know it."
"Who was spreading the rumors? Give me a name," he said casually.
Confused, she asked, "Well, why do you want to know that?"
"Are you sure you want to know the reason?"
She nodded firmly.
"I want to get the name so that I can know whom to deal with."
Despite his nonchalance, Lindsey detected a sense of bone- piercing chill in his eyes. Subconsciously, she swallowed and laughed. "A-Are you kidding?"
Jimmy, who was originally leaning against the railing, suddenly stood up straight and approached her. His threatening posture prompted her to step back, especially when she was daunted by his cold gaze.
Looking down at her, he warned, "I don't like to joke. If you don't believe me, you can try to continue spreading rumors outside. If I hear a word of it next time, don't blame me for being unreasonable. I'll make sure that you suffer terribly in my hands!"
He would make her suffer terribly?
As terror spread through her body, her face turned pale. Recalling how he had threatened Felix, she knew he would definitely not show any mercy to her if she did not do as he said.
"I-1 was not the one who spread the rumors, so why do you have to vent your anger on me..."
"Oh, didn't you tell Dakota?" Jimmy withdrew his cold expression and took two steps back.
Stunned, Lindsey was rendered speechless.
"I don't care who was the one who spread the rumors. Be careful with your words in the future!" Jimmy was strict as he spoke to her. "I'm not your father, so I won't show you any mercy. You've angered me, and I'll deal with you if it happens again. Also, stop bullying Dakota, or else you'll also be in trouble."
It was not Jimmy's habit to warn other people, but the situation this time around was different.
