After contemplating for a moment, Jaelyn entered the car.

After shutting the door, she confronted directly, "What's happening?"

Millie glanced at her and remarked, "You should've been at Sanford's apartment just now. Is Maggie Shear there?”

"Yes," Jaelyn admitted without hesitation.

Millie's chest rose with fury, her eyes ablaze.

"I've heard Sanford'd gifted one of his factories to Maggie, even declaring to everyone that she's his woman. Have they reconciled?"

Just recently, Maggie's aunt-in-law Reyna had phoned her, detailing the morning's events at the factory.

She hadn't anticipated Sanford's swift defense of Maggie. He'd even transferred a branch factory under Maggie's mame. Had Sanford forgiven Maggie? Were they now at peace?

"I am unaware," Jaelyn stated as she tightened the grip on her purse, a hint of complexity in her gaze.

Unbeknownst to her, Sanford had transferred a factory to Maggie. What she knew for certain was Sanford's propensity to lavish extreme indulgence upon those he loved.

“How can you claim ignorance? What were you doing just now? Weren't you about to accuse Maggie?" Millie exclaimed.

Jaelyn composed her tumultuous thoughts and replied calmly, “Millie, I am not Sanford's fiancée. Do I even have the authority to accuse her?"

Millie paused, rolling her eyes.

“Even though you're not his fiancée, you're the woman he cares for the most, aren't you?"

Shouldn't these two be in a clash? Millie had anticipated reaping the benefits from their conflict!

Jaelyn adjusted her hair behind her ear and sneered, "Millie, what's on your mind? We're not close enough for heart-to-heart conversations."

Did Millie perceive her as gullible?

“Well, if things persist in this manner, your standing in Sanford's affections will suffer. Are you prepared for that? Don't you desire to distance Maggie and reclaim your place as the woman he adores?"

Millie inquired.

Jaelyn glanced at her before averting her gaze. “I desire that outcome, but how can I achieve it by driving her away?"
