Sanfordâs thoughts were in disarray, and his face was clouded with conflicting emotions.
He closed his eyes for a moment, removing Maggieâs hand from his.
âMaggie, why donât you return to your seat for now? I need some time to think this through.
â
It wasnât that he doubted Rosalynnâs words.
He just didnât want to believe them.
He had finally found relief and didnât want to harbor hate towards Jaelyn again.
Perhaps Rosalynn had made a mistake.
Maybe she had only said it to defend Maggie from injustice.
After a brief pause, he reached for his phone and called his assistant.
âLook into Jaelynâs history over the past five years.
Pay close attention to her health records.
Find out if she has ever had stomach cancer.
â
When Rosalynn returned to the table, the banquet was already in full swing.
Hutton had prepared some delicious cakes for the opening ceremony.
At that moment, waiters were busy distributing cakes to the guests at each table.

Women generally have a sweet tooth, and Valeria was no exception.
Back when she was a star, she had to meticulously watch her figure, and her diet was always under strict control.
But now, being pregnant, she was certainly taking advantage of the opportunity to indulge in food she had previously avoided.
A waiter brought her a slice of chocolate mousse cake, and she graciously thanked him before savoring it with delight.
Seeing that Valeriaâs cake was different from the others, Karina said playfully, âValeria, Hutton is so unfair.
Why is your cake different from ours? It looks sinfully delicious.
â
Valeria was so engrossed in her cake that she hadnât noticed the difference until Karina pointed it out.
âKarina, if you like it, Iâll gladly exchange it with yours.
â
Karina chuckled.
âNo way! This is Huttonâs special love cake.
How could I eat it? You are the hostess.
You deserve something unique.
