Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 55

Bree's hand trembled as she held mine. She then scolded, "That bastard! I'll call him right now and ask what exactly he's trying to do. Didn't he say there was nothing between him and that Massey woman?" She finally let go of my hand and reached for her phone. I moved my hand, which had gone numb from her grip. I then said, "Bree, I've already talked to him at the company. He's agreed to break up. And..." I paused and then continued, "He's also accepted Jewel to work at the company."

had done.

"What?" Bree and Zack were stunned.

Zack's face darkened, and Bree questioned him, "Didn't you say you had control over everything at the company? How did you not know about this?"

I stopped them. Chris coming back would only make things messier.

"Maddie, we'll make him get rid of that woman." Bree grabbed my hand again.
