Mrs. Hanson pursed her lips, hesitated for a few seconds, then shook her head firmly.

"No, Sylvia never agreed to anything. It was Yves who set his sights on her and tried to force her into marriage."

"Mrs. Hanson! What the hell are you talking about?" Kay snapped, her eyes cold and sharp as she marched forward.
