Chapter: 2320
"They're male escorts I hired," she revealed.
Male escorts? That explained why they were so uninhibited in the video.
Maggie looked at Jaelyn, waiting for her to fill in the other details.
"After leaving your apartment, I ran into Millie. She wanted to team up with me to set you up, hoping Sanford would dump you if he saw you fooling around with that guy friend. I pretended to agree, and then instructed someone to find three male escorts from a club and had a makeup artist disguise one of them to look like your friend, Karl."
Thinking of Millie's gullibility, Jaelyn snorted, continuing, "... is cunning, so I had to show her that you and that Karl look-a-like entered the club for her to believe that I'm helping her."
Now Maggie understood the whole story.
She must say Millie had never changed. Millie even planned to use underhand tactics to get rid of her in Sanford's life.
After a moment, Maggie asked, "Did those male escorts know what was at stake when they agreed to take the job? They'll probably end up in jail. Are they okay with that?"
Jaelyn glanced at Sanford before saying, "Well, they'd be splitting up five million among themselves in exchange for their unified statement during the interrogation. They'd say Millie gave them those drugs. The pay is exponentially huge compared to their salaries at the club, after all."
Maggie was a bit taken aback.
Five million? That was quite an expense!
Jaelyn grinned and shrugged, coyly tucking a stay hair behind her ear.
“That money wasn't mine, anyway. It was a bribe I took from Janiya when she wanted me to leave Sanford. Keeping that money was quite burdensome, so to spend it this way brings me peace of mind."
Her words reflected her demeanor at this time. She indeed more relieved and relaxed than troubled.
Sanford looked at her intently, finally realizing why she did it.
It was Jaelyn's way of expressing her apology to him.
Memories of their time together suddenly flashed through his mind.
At that moment, he was reminded of the simple and lovely girl she once was.
"This issue is a big deal, Sanford. But with the Morenos' influence, they could easily suppress the news," Jaelyn continued, turning to Sanford. "You can use this chance to discuss with them about the cancellation of the engagement. If Millie is pressured and willingly calls off the engagement, let her. Then, it'd be over. Otherwise, you can suggest it, given Millie's image had already been tarnished. But I think even if the Morenos find out it was only a setup, they'll already be too embarrassed to keep the engagement."
Jaelyn had meticulously planned everything for Sanford, orchestrating each detail with care.
