Chapter 1058

What unsettled Wilhelmina more was the fact that she had just kicked Jack while he was down at the charity gala. Knowing Jack's vindictive nature, he would never let this slide.

The thought of his possible retaliation sent a chill down Wilhelmina's spine. That fear of Jack had long since taken root in her heart.

Throughout the entire meal, Wilhelmina ate absent-mindedly. Everything tasted like ash in her mouth.

Quintis and Trent were happily chatting away, while Emily and Mavis were engaged in their own conversation.

Jack was silent the entire time, and Wilhelmina was afraid to make conversation.

She quickly finished her food and gently said, "Mr. and Mrs. Lycan, Mom, Dad, I'm done with my food. Please take your time. I'll be in the garden taking a stroll.

Now, she only wanted to flee from Jack-the farther, the better.

Emily nodded at Wilhelmina. Since Jack had a girlfriend, she didn't feel as intense about Wilhelmina as before. If Wilhelmina wanted to stay away from Jack, by all means. After all, Jack didn't need a girlfriend anymore.

After getting her parents' agreement, Wilhelmina didn't even glance at Jack and scurried away.

Looking at Wilhelmina leaving, Jack said, "I'm also done with my food."

Trent quickly said, "Oh, Mina is taking a stroll in the garden and might not be familiar with the surroundings. You can go with her."

He was intentionally creating an opportunity for Jack, carrying the same hope that his daughter and Jack would get together.

Jack nodded. After exchanging pleasantries with everyone at the table, he strode outside.

Wilhelmina was walking in front and didn't realize Jack had followed her.

The Lycan family's garden stretched endlessly, filled with rare and exotic plants that bloomed all year round. It was as beautiful as a garden royal palace.

However, Wilhelmina couldn't bring herself to admire any of it. Her mind was consumed with thoughts of what Jack might do to her next.

Although pride had always been part of her nature, she could no longer hold her head high before Jack, her scourge. Jack was like a curse she could never shake, destined to crush her in this lifetime.

Immersed in her thoughts, she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind her. When she turned around, her face instantly turned pale.

The person she least wanted to see was walking toward her with a taunting smile.

Wilhelmina quickened her steps,

wanting to flee from this person who

instilled fear in her. However, no

matter how fast her steps were

Jack was even faster

As Jack walked, he said, "You can run all you want, but it's no use. Today, not even wings could help you escape."

Wilhelmina ignored him completely. She didn't want to spend another second near this monster.

However, after a few steps, she realized it was a dead end ahead. No one was around them.

Wilhelmina quickly stopped in her tracks. She turned around and stared coldly at Jack. "Why are you following me, punk?"

She tried to maintain her composure, but the terror in her eyes betrayed her.

"What do you think?" Jack stared at Wilhelmina intently, curious to see if she would honestly explain herself for what she had done.

However, Wilhelmina kept her head held high and said coldly, "I don't know. If

there's nothing else, please leave. Stop bothering me."

"I'm bothering you? You are my fiancee. Even if I did something to you right now, no

one can stop me, right?" Jack let out a chilling laugh.

Besides, this was the Lycan family's property. Who would dare meddle in his business?
