He leaned in, capturing her lips in a tender kiss.
The warm, yellow Light bathed them, wrapping their moment in a soft glow of intimacy.
Just then, the door creaked open, and Jaelyn stepped inside.
She froze at the sight of them kissing, a pang of jealousy flickering in her eyes, quickly replaced by a wistful envy.
She took a deep breath, steadying herself.
She was free now.
She promised to herself that one day sheâd find her own true love.
Jaelyn cleared her throat and teased, âI guess you two liked the live broadcast so much.
â
Maggie immediately pushed Sanford away and covered her flushed face with her hands.
With eyes still flickering with unspent desire, Sanford held her close and faced Jaelyn.
Keeping her cool, Jaelyn walked up to them.
âIâve already called the police.
Theyâre on their way, as well as the reporters.
With this scandal, Millie will be the talk of the town by tomorrow.
By then, you can seize the opportunity to break off your engagement, given the severity of her offense.

Calming down, Sanford nodded and held Maggieâs hand as they sat down on the couch.
Bashfully tucking a stray hair behind her ear, Maggie looked up at Jaelyn and asked, âYou arranged all of this?â
âUh-huh,â Jaelyn replied briefly.
âWho are those guys? One of them looks a lot like my friend,â Maggie asked.
While watching the video earlier, she noticed one of the guys having close resemblance to Karl.
For a moment, she thought it was really him, and it gave her quite a scare, Jaelyn raised an eyebrow.
Instead of answering her question, she asked back, âIs that friend your suitor?â
Glancing at Sanford, Maggie laughed dryly and said, âSort of.
â
Sanford remained silent, only increasing the pressure as he squeezed Maggieâs hand.
Glancing at their clasped hands, Jaelyn asked with a hint of tease, âSeems like this friend of yours is special to you.
Is he?â
Maggie felt uneasy at the question.
Seeing that Jaelyn was just teasing, she hastily changed the subject.
âBack to the main point.
You still havenât told me who those guys are,â she said.
Watching Maggieâs flustered expression, Jaelyn smiled and stopped teasing.
âTheyâre male escorts I hired,â she revealed.
Male escorts? That explained why they were so uninhibited in the video
