Max’s gaze suddenly turned sharp.
The topic quickly changed. He sneered, “Are you sure it as you who entered my room that night five years ago?”
Panic flashed across Sandra’s eyes and she clenched her fists tightly.
Pretending not to understand, she asked, “Max, what do you mean? Which night? Of course it was me who was with you back then. Don’t you remember? Why are you asking this?”
Sofia noticed Sandra’s panic.
She chided, “Max, are you referring to the night you had relations with Sandra?” Sofia shot an angry glance at him and continued, “Sandra is such an innocent girl. How could you ask such a question? You ruined her life! What do you want from her? Let me tell you what happened that night. You were drugged and lost your mind. Then you hurt her. From now on, don’t treat Sandra that roughly ever again.”
Before Max could reply, Sofia smiled and urged him, “It’s late today. Quick carry Sandra back to her room to rest. Sandra’s leg is injured, so take it easy. I shan’t get in the way. I’ll go wash my face.”
She pulled off the mask and went upstairs.
Max and Sandra were left in the living room.
The atmosphere was awkward.
Sandra was still daydreaming about being in Max’s embrace. “Max, I’m a little tired. Can you carry me upstairs?”
“You haven’t answered my question.” Max ignored her request.
His face was as cold as ice and entirely devoid of expression. The aura emanating from him wrapped around her like an airtight net.
He stared stonily at Sandra, so much so that she could hardly breathe.
If Max had not been forced by Sofia back then, he would not have gotten engaged to Sandra.
Sandra lowered her head and acted shy.
She said in a soft voice, “When I went in that night, I saw that you were injured and wanted to send you to the hospital. I didn’t know that you were drugged and…”
The more she spoke, the lower the voice became.
Max’s eyes turned freezing cold. “Is that so? But Mary brought my child back and she already admitted that she was the one I wanted that night. Do you still intend to continue lying to me?”
Sandra turned pale. Her voice trembled. “Max, you mean you also did it with Mary that night?”
Max sneered, “No, Mary was the only one that night.”
“Max, what do you mean?” Tears rolled down Sandra’s cheeks.
“Do you mean that I faked the love bites on my body that night? Five years later, Mary now says she was also a victim. So you suspect that I lied to you?”
She suddenly fell from the wheelchair.
Her face scrunched up in pain. “Then I might as well die and fulfill yours and Mary’s wishes.”
Then, she slammed herself into the coffee table beside him.
She believed that Max would stop her, but he just stood there and watched on motionlessly.

In Mary Co.
When Mary’s phone rang, Priscilla was in front of her desk unwrapping the aromatherapy products sent by the Garcia Group.
Mary glanced at her phone. It was an unknown number.
Priscilla smiled and said, “Mary, you can answer the call first. I’ll deal with the package.”
Mary nodded.
She pressed the answer button and said, “Hello.”
Nothing came from the other end of the phone. Mary narrowed her eyes. “If you don’t say anything, I’m hanging up.”
Her voice was cold.
She could feel that this person was hostile.
After two seconds of silence, Sandra’s voice could be heard. “It’s me. Can we meet? I’m at the ice cream shop downstairs.”
When Sandra found out that Mary’s office building was opposite the Gaston Group, she swore to make Mary die a death even more miserable than the last time.
“Come up if you want to see me.”
Mary hung up the phone.
When Priscilla knew that someone would be coming to meet Mary, she bent down and gathered the bottles on the table, preparing to carry them all of them out.
Mary’s eyes fell on three white bottles.
She pointed at them and said calmly, “Priscilla, please leave those three here. Let me take a look.”
“Okay.” She picked up the rest and left Mary’s office.
Mary put the small bottles in front of her. The first one was lotion, the second one was essential oil, and the third one was hydrosol.
She looked at the samples in front of her and remembered that her mother used to enjoy using these. Sofia had gifted her mother a set on her mother’s birthday.
After that, her father got into a car accident.
And Sofia visited her home.
Before her mother committed suicide, she reminded her to listen to Max.
However, the day after she followed Max home…
