Chapter 225

Maxine’s eyes darkened with determination. “I’m not letting her off the hook. She’ll fall in line, and when she does, she’ll come crawling back to me, begging for mercy.”

Emani, riding along, couldn’t contain her astonishment. “Ms. White, you really went head-to-head with Maxine? Are you out of your mind? Everyone here, except the editor-in-chief, bends over backward to stay on her good side.”

Norah kept her eyes on the road, unfazed. “I wasn’t trying to stir things up. I just spoke the truth. I don’t want trouble with anyone.”

“But now you’ve got it,” Emani warned. “Maxine doesn’t take insults lightly. She’ll target you for sure.”
