From now on, you have no right to order me around." Maxwell's face turned terrifyingly dark. He flung me away onto the ground. The pain hit me so hard I nearly passed out. "How dare you say you owe her nothing? If you hadn't made up those lies when Grandma died, Karina wouldn't have been accused of murder! She wouldn't have suffered a depressive episode and lost her chance to study abroad. "you're the one who killed Grandma! It was you who threatened Grandma and forced me to marry you." I laughed bitterly. So that was why he married me, but never once treated me kindly. Back then, his grandma, Lydia Smith, warned him that if he married Karina, she would strip him of all his shares. He chose power and married me. But at the same time, he was maintaining an ambiguous ---- relationship with Karina. I sneered. "Maxwell, are you really that stupid? If Karina was so innocent, why would someone as kind as Mrs. Conner Senior reject her so harshly?" Lydia might have been wealthy, but she was never snobbish. She treated me just the same, although I was just a poor student. For a moment, Maxwell froze. Just then, Karina's mother, Jessie Baker, stormed in. "Maxwell, hurry! Take Ms. Shepard to the press conference. If we delay any longer, Karina's going to break down from all this cyberbullying!" Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
