Chapter 912

Maria’s gaze lingered on Sidney like someone eyeing their favorite toy.

His expression grew colder as he looked at her and asked, “Can we talk now?”

“Here?” Maria smirked, “I’m not really fond of standing in doorways. It’s exhausting.” Sidney remained silent, unmoving.

With a casual smile, Maria unlocked the door with her fingerprint and stepped inside. Sidney followed her in, and as the lights gradually brightened, Maria stopped, her back to him.

Sidney stood near the entrance, quietly watching her.

Without turning around, Maria spoke. “Miss Powell came to see me today. She wanted to know why I stopped you two from getting married.”

She chuckled, finally turning to face him. “Sidney, you didn’t handle things well. Now I’ve got this mess, and she’s blaming me for everything. I’m not exactly pleased what do you suggest we do about that?” Sidney frowned, his tone apologetic. “I didn’t know she would go to you. I’m sorry.”
