She would prefer if Sanford were as ordinary as her.

Then she wouldn't feel as though she were unworthy of him.

“Don't sugarcoat it with romantic notions. Are you certain that you love my son?" Janiya, with a sudden thought, inquired once more.

Maggie paused for a moment before nodding, "Yes, I am sure that I love him, but I acknowledge that I am not a suitable match for him and I don't anticipate marrying him."

“Then accept the money and leave!" Janiya stared at Maggie.

“Maggie, five million is no small amount. With your skills and abilities, it would be difficult for you to earn that much in your entire life. I trust you're wise enough to know what's best."

Maggie met her gaze, replying, "I apologize. I've already stated that I will neither accept the five million nor leave the city." laggie! Don't be so ungrateful!" Janiya's voice seethed with anger.

Mrs. Robles, if you're so rich, you can help more people in need.

They'll undoubtedly be very grateful to you. I'll handle the bill for this cup of Mocha myself. If there's nothing else you'd like to discuss, I'll take my leave."

Maggie realized that there was nothing beneficial to be gained from conversing with Janiya any further. She laid out the cash for the coffee on the table, picked up her bag and left.

Looking at her receding figure, Janiya was so angry that her countenance changed.

Maggie was more difficult to deal with than Jaelyn.

She retrieved a recorder pen from her bag and attentively listened to the conversation that had been captured on it.

After Maggie departed, Rosalynn settled the bill and followed suit.

The two women entered the car, with Maggie smoothing her hair as she asked, "Rosalynn, did you overhear our conversation?"

Rosalynn glanced at her, starting the car, and responded, “Yes. Why not take the money? It's five million dollars."

Maggie grimaced and replied, "If I took that money, I'd be ashamed for the rest of my life.”

This was a matter of personal dignity.

“You handled it well," said Rosalynn with a smile.

Maggie shook her head, sighing.

“Rosalynn, if only I were as exceptional as you."

If she was accomplished enough, she could garner respect and might have the opportunity to stand by his side.
