Lloyd's face was etched with guilt.

Nonchalantly, Maggie shook off his grasp.

“Lloyd, where's my money?”

His words rang hollow in her ears

Was it possible he didn't know Yana had intentionally stolen him from her?

Or was he simply exploiting the situation?

What a lowlife he was!

“Maggie, reconcile with me. If you do, I swear I'll treat you right.

From here on out, everything I own will be yours," Lloyd pled.

Maggie scoffed.

“Lloyd, I've made it clear before-I'm not a waste collector. I won't take you back!"

"You..." Lloyd bit back his anger.

"Maggie, don't be so harsh. I know you're furious with me. You've berated me, beaten me, and I even spent a few days locked up. Can't you let bygones be bygones?"

Maggie eyed him frostily. The memory of how he and Yana had nearly ruined her life caused her fists to clench.

Undeterred, Lloyd continued his unsolicited tirade.

“Maggie, remember how blissful we were together? Even if we weren't wed, we were the picture of a love-struck couple to the world. You loved me, didn't you? Please forgive me and let's start anew!"

Maggie looked at the unabashed Lloyd and internally cringed.

How did she ever tolerate being with such a man?

“Lloyd, I've never loved you. My decision to be with you was simply because you were unremarkable. I see now that even the most unremarkable people can stoop to despicable levels. Character isn't defined by ordinariness!"

Lloyd squirmed under her scathing words, yet managed to swallow his pride.

“You can berate me all you want. I deserve it. But can you give me another chance?"

Maggie let out a derisive Laugh.
