Chapter 30
As soon as I finished speaking, my head began to pin once more. My vision blurred, and I could feel my intracranial pressure rising.
I grabbed Chloe and whispered, “Get her out of here. I don’t want to see het.”

His voice was tense, and his anger was barely concealed as he said, “Xan, you should go home. You shouldn’t be here.”
Xandra was taken aback, and so was Chloe.
I was stated too. I then found myself unexpectedly meeting Jameson’s gaze
Jameson was staring at me intently, his eyes reflecting a complex mix of emotions

Did I hear him wrong? Was he really asking Xandra to leave?
For a moment, Xandra was dumbfounded, then she burst into tears. “Jameson, I know I shouldn’t be here. I just wanted to explain things to Ms. Lambert. I can return the pink diamond.”
Jameson didn’t look at her tear–streaked face but instead fixed his gaze on me.
I subconsciously wiped my face, wondering if there was something on it that was making this jerk stare at me so intently.
Without looking back, Jameson said, “Xan, you should call her Mrs. Brown.”
The air in the room grew thick with tension.
Xandra was completely shocked. She smiled bitterly as tears streamed down her face.
“Fine. I understand. Mr. Brown, I won’t ever show my face in front of you again.”
She then turned to me and continued, “Mrs. Brown, I’m truly sorry for all the trouble I’ve caused you over the years. It’s best if I leave now.”
With that, she turned and left.
I watched her retreating figure for what felt like an eternity before turning to Jameson and asking, “Aren’t you going to chase after her?”
His eyes flickered with a hint of sadness and reluctance as I spoke.
Then, I said with a scoff, “Go on. I don’t mind.”
