Janiya’s voice was chilling, a sinister whisper in Maggie’s ear.
Fear mingled with rage within her, yet she felt powerless to fight back.
How could a woman be so devoid of compassion?
Would she really stoop to such merciless tactics just to achieve her aims?
Maggie’s gaze intensified, her eyes taking on a reddish hue as she bit down on her lip, choosing
silence.
Then Janiya’s words sliced through the silence once more.

your time with my son, like payment for a call girl.”
Payment for a call girl!
Janiya spared no effort in her scorn, likening her to a prostitute.
Maggie clenched her jaw, the sting of injustice and sorrow coaxing tears to stream down freely.
Drawing in a fortifying breath, she brushed her tears aside and stood taller.
“I’ll pass, Mrs. Robles. I pride myself on being a decent and honorable woman. It isn’t Sanford’s wealth
I cherish. Despite my modest beginnings, I see myself as far superior to those feigning nobility yet
possessing morals as low as their true stature. Perhaps you might consider investing your money in
offerings and prayers, seeking God’s grace to guard against the pangs of conscience you ought to
endure in your later years.”
“You…”
Janiya was left speechless, stammering as Maggie disconnected the call.
With quick fingers, Maggie found the incriminating video on her phone and erased it without a second
thought.

“You deleted the video? Maggie, surely you didn’t assume I hadn’t secured a backup?”
Maggie’s breathing hitched, her chest heaving slightly as she glared at the brazen man before her, her
hand swinging out in a fierce slap.
At that instant, rage consumed her.
Unable to unleash her wrath on Janiya, she directed it towards this minion instead.
Remy, struck by the blow, stood in shock, disbelief etched across his face.
“You fucking dared to hit me?” he bellowed, his face contorting into a snarl as he lifted his hand,
feigning a counterstrike.
But Bart stepped protectively in front of Maggie, shoving Remy back.
“You wouldn’t dare lay a finger on my sister!”
