35&nbsp; A Turn of Events

In the midst of Inga's escalating fury, Mr. Carson interceded with a firm hand.

"Inga, stop!" he commanded as Inga raged. "How dare she strike me! She's nothing but an aide!"

Unmoved, Mr. Carson pushed Inga away, shielding Jada behind him. "Your actions warranted that slap. Maybe it'll bring some sense into you," he retorted, his voice icy with anger.

Inga, taken aback by Mr. Carson's rare show of anger, stormed out, casting a final venomous look at Jada. Jada instinctively knew the fight was far from over. But she will be ready any time, any day, to confront Inga.

Turning to Jada, Mr. Carrson inquired, "Did Emma send you here?"

"Yes," Jada admitted, "Emma guessed Inga would come with complaints. Lucky I got here just in time!"

Jada was still seething at Inga's audacity but couldn't help feeling a twinge of sadness, realizing Mr. Carson saw her more like

Emma approached Morgan for a comforting embrace, only to be promptly pushed back. "Hold on there. You ignored all my warnings about your marriage, cut ties with us, and now you just show up expecting everything to be fine?" Morgan's voice was tinged with hurt, remembering how hard she tried to prevent Emma's impulsive wedding.

Emma felt the sting of guilt. She had indeed shut everyone out, secretly tying the knot and only informing them after the fact. The sense of betrayal had been profound.

"Why should I be the one to face her? You're the one in the middle of this drama. I'll just end up in Inga's crosshairs if I go," protested Jada, feeling unfairly dragged into a situation that wasn't her making.

"Look, Inga already suspects we're allies. It's irrelevant who goes. Plus, this is your chance to shine in front of Mr. Carson," encouraged Emma, her eyes twinkling with mischief, implying a deeper game at play.

Jada's cheeks turned a shade of pink, wondering if Emma had guessed her secret admiration for Mr. Carson. She could read between the lines in Emma's knowing look. "Alright, I'll go now. And you'll have to sort out this mess alone!" she retorted, a mix of annoyance and excitement in her voice.
