Jesslyn Derei stared fixedly at the shadowy figure in the darkness.
The uneasy feeling in her heart grew more and more apparent.
The hoarse voice sounded again from the darkness, "I've learned that you're hiding a daughter and want to give her a good life, of course you want to make money."
Jesslyn Derei let out a sigh of relief to herself.
It turned out he had investigated her.
Jesslyn Derei sneered, "Mr. Cooper, you've gone to quite some lengths to cooperate with me."
"It's nothing," came the reply, "I could even say I'm a fan of yours."
Bentelie Cooper's voice was soft, not overwhelming, but the light laughter laced within his words always made Jesslyn Derei's skin crawl.
She sensed the danger in him.
Although initially, because Bentelie Cooper's voice was similar to Ethan Jenkins', she found him less repulsive and even wanted to hear more of this man's voice as a comfort for her yearning for Ethan Jenkins.
