The crowd couldn't stop gossiping.
"Mr. Huxham is so much better than her ex-husband! Who could argue with that?" "Mr. Huxham is successful and a man with integrity. Her ex-husband cheated on her and was stingy!"

I really admire her ability to lie so effortlessly." Zane took my hand and casually asked, "Isn't it possible that she's trying to make things difficult for you on purpose?" Zane explained, "Your comics are doing well right now. She might be feeling jealous and want to affect your mindset, making you frustrated every day. That way, you won't be able to make any money.

If you genuinely wanted to stop her, you should be able to." Jessica thought he was blaming her and quickly explained, "But I'm pregnant. I'm worried about the baby." When Jessica didn't get a response, she pretended to sigh and continued, "I don't know why, but it seems like everyone aroundlikes me, and they all dislike Annalise.

Casper stared at the messages in the chat, increasingly confused about on how to respond without harming Zanels reputation. He decided to take a screenshot and send it to Zane. "How should I reply?" he asked.
