NovelEnglishChapter 1727:
Jonathan scoffed dismissively. “You're really going to extremes for a man.”
For sinexplicable reason, Corrine thought she detected a trace of jealousy in his voice.
She studied Jonathan carefully, taking a moment to collect her thoughts before responding, “I trust you.”
Her words were simple, yet they seemed to provoke a turbulent reaction within him. His fingers tightened around
the ring. When he met her eyes, the look he gave her was sharp and unreadable.
He let out a low, mocking laugh, his voice chilling. “Anyone can utter pleasant words.”
Especially when someone like her needed something from him.

onto the island he’s on, but the signal is weak, and it’s dropping fast.”
Corrine didn’t answer right away. Her silence dragged on as her nails dug into her palm, each passing second
testing her control.
Noticing her quiet, Lone Ranger tried to reassure her. “Don’t worry too much. It might just be that his phone
signal is being blocked.”
