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.

But now, with Vicky and the others in the room, he felt his exhaustion catching up.

Then James uttered, "Do I really need to explain who she is?"

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.

"If you're so worried about her, then take her away. Don't make a scene and disturb my rest."

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

He'd put up with Vicky's behavior before, but he would have fired her long ago if not for Asher.
