"When she's around you, she's extraordinarily gentle and unassuming, creating the illusion that she doesn't seek your love or money.

That's her brilliance. She convinces you she's a rare gem, leading you to decide on marrying her.

In reality, she has no intention of spending her life with you. She seeks to profit from you.

With her ambition, even if you marry her, she won't play nice. She will inevitably get involved with other men. By the time you tire of her and ask for a divorce, she may already have found a replacement!"

Her words cast a shadow over Sanford's expression.

Could it be true?

Was Maggie merely feigning kindness?

Reflecting on their past, Sanford shook his head, countering, "It's not possible. Maggie isn't like that. You must have provoked her to say those things, right?"

This infuriated Janiya.

“Sanford, what has she done to you that you would even doubt your own mother? Recall Jaelyn. Didn't you assure me she was a virtuous girl who wasn't after your money? Yet, what happened? People Like them are invariably miserly and greedy!"

Sanford remained silent, his chest heaving slightly.

Had he been deceived by another seemingly innocent woman?

Did Maggie truly not Love him? Was she only after his wealth and status?

“Sanford, let's have dinner."

Observing Sanford's conflicted expression, Janiya knew he harbored doubts about Maggie.

She had arranged for the recording to be edited before her visit.

She didn't believe that her son would continue to fancy Maggie after hearing the manipulated recording.

“Mom, I'm not hungry." Sanford had lost his appetite.

Janiya held his hand, advising, “Sanford, you're grown. Trust me, recover and then marry Millie. Once you have a family, you won't worry about these matters.”

Upon hearing this, Sanford came back to reality.

“Mom, I don't care for Millie. Even without Maggie, I wouldn't marry her."

“Alright, you can marry anyone, except for Maggie. Provided the girl comes from a reputable family.”
