"Wh--What did you say?"
Jane, too, snapped her head up to look at Alex. "Wh--What did you just say?"
"And you wouldn't admit it when I say you are vicious! Woman, look at the mess you've caused. I was here to set up an emergency defense and thanks to you, it's all wasted."
Summoning his courage somehow, Garrett wiped his tears off and immediately rushed over to help Jane u p. "Mrs. Poole, no... Ms. Sheen, you... You've misunderstood Master Alex. He isn't here to look for you. He's staking out here for something else."
"Re-Really?" she asked.
"You've been with me for almost eight years, don't you know me at all? When have I ever murdered people as
I please like Sebastian? How could you think of me like this? You even went and said all those things about how I'm going to torture you! Pregnant or not, you can't get so paranoid because of it, can you?"

"A Poole would never be so petty. You are just a woman, and don't even mention all the things you've done for me in the past seven years. Go, take your man
with you and leave this city. Start a new life in another city, because I'm going to set up a line of defense here."
Jane gaped at him, unable to respond.
"Why, you don't believe me?" Alex smiled gently.
Jane shook her head and immediately said, "No... It's not that, I... I believe you. I believe you."
