Chapter 2039 The remorse Maggie felt was profound.
She found herself unable to adequately repay him for his unwavering support.
Just then, her phone chimed with a message.
"No need to thank me.
Just remember what I said," Karl's reply read.

There was no denying it-Karl was truly a good man.
But unfortunately...

She knew he was clearly angry.
She shifted slightly, attempting to lighten the mood.
"Sanford, it's not winter yet.
You don't need to chill the air.
Sanford's smile, however, was as frigid as the air around them as he glanced at her phone.
"Maggie, you appear to be occupied.
Would you like to bid farewell to your 'boyfriend' properly before we leave?" His keen eyes had caught her messaging Karl, and her somber expression did not escape his notice.

" Sanford couldn't ignore the pang of jealousy that surged within him.
"Hmm, your Karl certainly knows how to play the gallant knight," Sanford remarked, his tone laced with sarcasm. "Maggie, I suppose you're feeling rather pleased with yourself, aren't you? Having someone pursue you must be quite the ego boost, I imagine.
Upon hearing Sanford's sarcastic tone, Maggie wanted to retort but ultimately held her tongue. He was angry right now, and she knew better than to stir the pot.
It was best to let him cool down first.
Sanford glanced at her, noting her submissive and downcast expression.
He took a deep breath, trying to quell the jealousy bubbling within him.
"I'LL cancel my engagement with Millie, so no one will call you mym mistress anymore," he said.
Remembering how he had just stood up for her, Maggie felt@warmth spread rough her heart. But recalling Millie's previous actions, she clenched her fists.
