"Does that mean you want to kill me to keep it quiet?"
Hearing Alice Turner say such cheeky words, Thomas Fisher couldn't help but laugh. If she could still say something like that, it must mean nothing serious happened on her end, so he casually joked with her.
Without missing a beat, Alice replied, "You can seal your own lips."
The person on the other end of the line didn't press further, which made Alice feel much more at ease.
"Alice! You're so cruel to me, I'm heartbroken." Thomas knew Alice was joking and wasn't the least bit angry. He pretended to be heartbroken over the phone.
Even though she couldn't see him, Alice could just imagine the man putting on an act, and her lips curled into a smile. "Haven't you heard the saying 'the most venomous is a woman's heart'? You better watch out in the future."
The curve of her smile was in stark contrast to her harsh words, yet somehow, it didn't seem out of place at all.
