The two were very close, and Jaelyn was pouring wine for Sanford, who didn't seem to mind her proximity.

Maggie's heart sank, her fingers tightening around the strap of her purse. She took a deep breath, trying to steady herself, but the questions and doubts swirled in her mind. What were they doing together?

"Here you are." Jaelyn spoke, her voice carrying a hint of satisfaction.

Maggie took a deep breath, calming herself before walking up to the two.

"You sent me that message, didn't you?" she asked Jaelyn directly, her voice steady.

Jaelyn looked at her with feigned innocence. “Why do you say that?" she replied, her eyes wide in mock surprise.

“You wanted me to misunderstand Sanford," Maggie said, her eyes narrowing.

She was certain Jaelyn had sent the message while Sanford was off guard. Jaelyn must've wanted Maggie to see her together with Sanford, aiming to make her believe Sanford was dating both of them.

"Sanford, did I send that message?" Jaelyn asked, turning to him with a practiced look of innocence.

Sanford glanced at Jaelyn, his expression unreadable. After a moment, he turned back to Maggie and said, “No, she didn't."

“Did you hear that? I didn't send you the message," Jaelyn said, looking at Maggie triumphantly, her eyes gleaming with smug satisfaction.

Maggie felt her heart tighten, confusion and hurt mixing with anger.

She curled her fingers into fists to steady herself. “Sanford, why did you send that message to me?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly.

She had thought it was a date between her and Sanford, but now, seeing his ex-girlfriend here, she felt a cold dread creeping in.

Before Sanford could speak, Jaelyn chuckled.

"Maggie, you mentioned how envious you were because I was once the woman Sanford loved the most. The truth is, I still am the woman he loves most."

She paused, then added, "Don't you see? He wants us to Live harmoniously and attend to him together."

Maggie's eyes went wide as she stared at them in shock.

Sanford had claimed that he had kept Jaelyn around solely to irritate Millie.

But now...
