Taking a bold step forward from behind Sanford, Maggie squared her shoulders, meeting Millieâs venomous glare.
âI have no intention of meddling in your wedding plans.

âIs that so? Why are you here then? Donât try to play the saint, Maggie.

Her insult hung heavily in the air, a poisonous fog of contempt.
Maggieâs breath hitched, her fists balling at her sides.

She raised an eyebrow curiously.
âIs the ginger soup ready?â
âYes.
