Joseph’s face twitched when struck with the truth.

Maggie snickered softly. “Does it matter if it happened once or a few times? Either way, it won’t be you.”

Joseph’s expression flickered weirdly. Maggie didn’t bother with more talk, just strutted away without a second glance, her heels clicking.

Joseph stood there, getting more and more worked up.

Ever since the day the Camerons tried to please Nathael by using her, he knew this was coming. But weirdly, when he first found out, he just felt a bit off. He figured sacrificing her for the family’s sake wasn’t a big deal.

“Before you utter those words, you might want to remove the necklace around your neck. It could perhaps lend more credibility to your argument.”

Maggie’s gaze was understated as it swept over Vanessa’s body, adorned with elegant jewellery.

Though not exceedingly extravagant or rare, they were surely out of Vanessa’s financial league.

Why play both sides?

As Maggie left, it was already six in the evening.

She skipped Joseph’s ride and hailed a taxi straight to the hotel booked by Nathael.
