A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 966

If it weren't for their bitter past, Wilhelmina might've admitted that Jack was undeniably charming. But now? No.

Why had he followed her? Was he truly a devil in disguise?

Wilhelmina froze, her face suddenly pale as panic flashed in her eyes. She couldn't bear to meet Jack's gaze and deliberately looked away. Inside, she was anxious and confused, unsure of Jack's intentions or whether she should seize the moment to slip away.

For the first time in her life, she felt utterly lost.

It was as though Jack could read her mind. He slowly took a sip of his wine and asked, "Do you want to leave?"

The moonlight spilled across his figure, casting a silver sheen over his suit and angular features. He looked like a monarch cloaked in night, with irresistible charm.

Jack was a master of perception. He noticed every flicker in Wilhelmina's expression.

Wilhelmina's panic deepened the moment her thoughts were exposed. The fear that Jack might truly be some kind of devil tightened in her chest.

She didn't dare to turn back and look at him, and she didn't want to speak. Her only instinct was to get as far away from him as possible.

But just as she was about to leave, Jack closed the distance in a few quick strides and stepped in front of her, blocking her path. Her subtle, elegant fragrance drifted toward him, and he inhaled deliberately.

Jack's eyes lingered on her boldly. A faint smile curved on his lips as he said, "Smells great."

Wilhelmina's body stiffened with a slight shiver. She would've slapped anyone who spoke to her like that.

But this was Jack. So, she didn't even dare to lift a hand.

Wilhelmina was afraid of him. No matter the comparison—family, talent, or resources—she lost every time.
