Chapter 57 Don't Take It Personally

Cynthia opened her mouth to snap back, but before she could, a few colleagues stepped forward and tugged at her sleeve,

whispering urgently, "Cynthia, let it go. Coen might show up any second now. If this blows up, none of us will be able to

"Exactly. Look at how sure Linsey is. What if the guy really is her husband? If you keep pushing, we might be the ones who

Cynthia's frown deepened. She hated how smug Linsey looked, but her colleagues had a point.
