Chapter 179

Jacinta was surprisingly obliging. "All right." She rose to her feet and bowed to Jenny in apology. "I'm here to formally apologize to you, Jenny. At any rate, I played a part in this whole thing too." "This has nothing to do with you. Why are you apologizing?" Sawyer looked heartbroken as he helped Jacinta straighten up. He cast a baleful look at Bethany and Jenny. "Truth be told, I would never have agreed to come here if Jacinta hadn't made me." His gaze fell on Jenny as he bit out, "What we had was a contractual relationship. I paid you for your company, and even if you were a replacement, I was under no obligation to explain myself to you." He was point-blank insulting Jenny now. Jenny felt the room closing in and the air around her thinning. When tossing and turning on the couch last night, she asked herself the same questions repeatedly. Was she so desperate for money? Did she love Sawyer because of his money? She still hadn't found an answer, if she were being honest.
