Nia Mitchell sat beside Aldy Mitchell, then raised her head to look at their father, who was standing to one side.
"In reality, I didn't marry Hendry Hampton. The night we were supposed to get engaged, he despicably conspired with the Capital Town Police Bureau to have me detained."
Nia had thought she would be very upset saying this, but she wasn't; she was surprisingly calm.
"The engagement banquet proceeded as planned, but with a different bride. I met Maxwell Peary at the Police Bureau."
A smile suddenly graced Nia's lips as she recalled that moment. She had never imagined she would meet her other half under such circumstances, in such a place.
"Whatever I say next, you must keep it a secret. Not a single word can be leaked."
Nia abruptly paused, her gaze shifting to Molly Harguez, who stood to one side.
"Why are you looking at me? I'm not a blabbermouth," Molly Harguez said, feeling very uncomfortable. Why was Nia implying things about her?
