Maggie’s expression shifted at the mention of “Mrs. Robles”.
Was it she who orchestrated this trap, urging her to her son?
“Very well, she’ll speak to you,” Remy announced, then approached Maggie, offering the phone.
“Speak, Maggie.”
Lips pressed tight, Maggie reached for the phone with a hesitant grasp.
Janiya’s voice, laced with revulsion, came from the other end.
“Maggie Shear, you were to take the money and vanish. Your refusal to bow down prompts me to
darker methods. Today is but a warning.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCross me, and your brother may well spend his life behind bars. Stay away from my son, or else my
resources to coerce you are plenty!”
Maggie’s grip on the phone tightened, her complexion draining of color.
“Mrs. Robles, why resort to this? What of your promise to me, to Sanford? You vowed, should we stay
united for two years, you’d set the date for our wedding yourself.”
Upon hearing Maggie’s words, Janiya’s expression turned into one of disdain.
“Maggie, perhaps you’re just too innocent, or maybe I’ve given you too much credit. Don’t you realize
I’ve been stalling on purpose? My whole ploy was to give Jaelyn a chance to stir trouble in your
relationship. Yet, it seems I aimed too high. Jaelyn fell short. She couldn’t even manage one simple
task,” she declared.
Janiya’s revelation sent a wave of emotion through Maggie.
It dawned on her that Jaelyn’s meddling was orchestrated by Janiya herself!
She had lured Jaelyn with money, used her to interfere, and now her family was in Janiya’s crosshairs!
She had to say Janiya had gone to extraordinary Lengths to drive her away from Sanford.
Maggie’s heart sank.
“How could you stoop so low, Mrs. Robles? Aren’t you worried that I might spill everything to Sanford?”
Maggie asked, disbelief lacing her tone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJaniya scoffed mockingly, “What? You’re not even officially part of our family, and you’re trying to drive
a wedge between my son and me?
Think about it, Maggie. I’ve been his mother for over two decades.
Blood is thicker than water. Do you honestly believe you, an outsider, could shatter our bond?
Remember, even after Jaelyn’s scandal came to light, Sanford remained silent, didn’t he?”
Maggie realized that Sanford probably knew his mother had put Jaelyn up to faking her illness, but he
hadn’t confronted her about it.
Would exposing her brother’s framing be of any use then?
Holding her phone tightly, Maggie felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if it were being pierced by a needle.
“Of course, the last thing I want is to burden Sanford with the consequences of my actions. So, Maggie,
it’s up to you to end things with Sanford. Keep him in the dark. Otherwise, I can ensure your brother
spends his best years behind bars, experiencing torment until it breaks him.”
