Janiya answered after a couple of rings.

“Mrs. Robles, are you aware? Maggie Shear's back. “

Janiya had just returned from a session at a beauty spa.

Hearing the news made her temples throb.

“Millie, what did you just say? Maggie's back? How do you know?"

“I ran into her just now."

Millie shared the details of Maggie's new situation with Janiya.

Janiya, seated on her couch and massaging her aching temples, Looked visibly upset.

The stunt her son pulled during the engagement party had stressed her out to the point of a heart attack.

She had only recently started to recover.

But now, Maggie's return threatened to strain the already tense relationship with her son further.

Officially, her son had agreed to marry Millie, yet he was often seen with Jaelyn, disregarding the longstanding bond between the Robles and Brooks families.

Janiya sensed her son's subtle resistance to her matchmaking.

She felt cornered and considered sending Jaelyn away, yet she hesitated, fearing it might alienate her son even more.

And now, a new challenge emerged, with Maggie's unexpected return.

"Mrs. Robles, Sanford has finally made up his mind to marry me. I'm really worried that when Maggie comes back, she'll win him over again. What if he just dumps me and gets back with her? We have to stop it,”

Millie pleaded urgently over the phone.

Janiya frowned. "I get it," she replied.

She couldn't stand Maggie and definitely didn't want her son with her.

But the thought of stepping in again was daunting; she had no idea how Sanford might react.
