“Don’t get mad when you hear it, okay? There’s no way of telling if this is just a rumor or not,” Jorgie said.
“Just spit it out,” Hansen demanded.
Jorgie started, “So, it’s about Christine… Actually, forget it think this is just probably some fabricated gossip.”
Hansen snapped, “Jorgie, when did you turn into such a coward? What happened to Christine? Is she back in Gold City…”
Jorgie finally gave up. “Hansen…”
For some reason, Hansen felt an inexplicable discomfort in his chest.

Of all the people Christine could have been rumored to be with, why was it Landon?
For years, Landon was the one person Hansen couldn’t handle.
Especially after a large project two years ago. Hansen’s company had fought a bitter battle over it with Landon’s.
In the end, Landon had won, and Hansen had to retreat with nothing.
It was Hansen’s first taste of defeat.
Because of that, their tense relationship turned into one of enemies.
“I’m telling you, don’t get angry, okay? These are all just rumors that have no proof to them. Someone spotted Christine in Harbor City.”
Hansen’s grip on his phone tightened, but he forced his voice to remain calm. “What happened in Harbor City?” “It seems like people saw her with Landon. Of course, they could just have been having a meal together with no meaning behind it,” Jorgie said.
“I understand,” Hansen responded.
“Hansen…” Jorgie tried to calm him down
“If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up,” Hansen said as he ended the call.
He carried the large paper bag that contained the wedding dress that Christine once bought through the biting winter air of Gold City.
He walked right to the entrance of the alley, next to his car
Hansen suddenly stopped, and a faint, mocking smile appeared on his handsome face.
The next moment, he tossed that bag straight into the trash without any hesitation.
