"Sarah, tell them I didn't say anything of this sort. What are you waiting for?" Annabel Blackwood felt anxious when Sarah didn't say anything for a long time. "The things she said are so loathsome. I would never imagine saying something like that. I can't believe the character of the woman President Crowne fancies would stoop to such underhanded lies. Jazmine Harrison, if you don't care for your reputation, at least show some restraint for President Crowne's sake!"
After all, Annabel thought Sebastian Crowne was a man of reason, and he wouldn't side with one against two.
She greatly underestimated Sebastian's affection for Jazmine. But Sarah didn't. She knew that man would bring down the moon if Jazmine asked. And though it hurt her, she knew it to be the truth.
