After Divorcing my Captain Husband

Vicky pointed at Maggie, who looked fragile and upset.

Her eyes were red. Clearly, Vicky had said something unpleasant to her while they were outside moments ago. Chloe sat quietly, watching the drama unfold.

She was curious how James, a man known for his straightforwardness, would handle the situation with his ex-fiancée and his first love in the same room. James, still recovering from surgery and feeling weak, had managed to keep up his energy while talking to Chloe.

Asher, standing behind Vicky, was not happy with James' response. "James, she's my cousin. Can't you show me some respect?"

Vicky, who was used to being treated with kid gloves, was visibly upset.

James wasn't going to give in to Asher's demands, let alone Vicky's.
