When had she become so spineless? She couldn't believe she had almost caved with one simple thought.

“Sanford and I come from totally different backgrounds. I don't deserve him at all." Maggie stared at her bowl with a downcast expression.

“I still don't understand why you suddenly decided to break up with him," Rosalynn blurted out without thinking.

There was a slight shift in Maggie's expression, and Rosalynn instantly regretted her careless words.

‘m sorry, Maggie. I wasn't thinking. If you don't want to talk about it, then-"

“He slept with Yana," Maggie said in a rush.

Rosalynn's jaw fell open in shock.

“Are you saying that Sanford had sex with your own cousin?"

How was that possible?

“Correct. You know that I have always lived under her shadow. Sanford could have slept with any other woman, but Yana..."

Maggie's eyes turned red.

Rosalynn reached over and stroked her shoulder in a gesture of comfort.

After making sure that Maggie had calmed down, she asked, “Is it possible that Yana deliberately seduced Sanford? You mentioned in the past that Yana liked to snatch away the things that belonged to you.

And Sanford isn't aware that you are cousins, right?"

In Rosalynn's mind, Sanford might be a playboy, but he had his own unique brand of honor when it came to his libertine ways.

Could it all be just a misunderstanding?

“It is possible. But if it could be snatched away, then it clearly doesn't belong to me." Maggie took a deep breath and resumed eating.

Feeling sorry for her, Rosalynn plucked a few more slices of beef and added them into her friend's bowl.

“ALL right, let's stop talking about that jerk."

“Right. From now on, I will work hard and study hard."

“That's the spirit! I'm sure success is waiting for you in the near future."

The rest of their meal carried on pleasantly. When they were done eating, they headed back to their desks.
