Chapter 57
Chapter 57:
“That’s not what I mean… I…” Maisie stammered incoherently.
Ryan, his suspicions growing, looked at Maisie with newfound wariness. Why had she really set up that blind date? What were her true motives?
Seeing the suspicion in Ryan’s eyes, Maisie trembled, her heart racing with guilt.
If Ryan uncovered her orchestration of everything, would it shatter the perfect, kind image she had so carefully built in his mind?
She couldn’t allow that to happen.
Overwhelmed by desperation, Maisie’s tears began to flow.
“No! It’s not like that! Ryan, let me explain p>
Jenessa, unimpressed by her tears, pressed her further.
“Maisie, what was your real intention in introducing me to Tucker Reilly p>
Taken aback, Maisie, tears streaming down her face, threw herself into Ryan’s arms, weeping softly.
“Ryan, I had no hidden agenda! Why must Jenessa misinterpret my actions like this? I was only trying to help her. How can she view me as a bad person? Does she now see me as some evil figure? If she doesn’t trust me, do YOU also doubt me p>
Her body shook as she sobbed. Ryan’s heart softened at her plaintive cries and explanations.
In his recollections, Maisie had always appeared gentle and kind, devoid of any ulterior motives.
He believed she must have introduced Tucker to Jenessa with good intentions. How could she have anticipated Tucker turning out to be a villain who would try to assault Jenessa?

Upon reflecting, Ryan decided that Tucker was the true villain, and Maisie was innocent.
Moreover, Maisie’s health remained delicate; she could not endure such emotional strain.
Ryan’s doubts melted away. He gently soothed Maisie’s back and turned to Jenessa.
“Maisie may have erred, but her actions were unintentional. I will apologize for her p>
As Ryan defended her, Maisie nestled closer to him, her sobs mingled with whimpers.
“Ryan, don’t you believe me p>
Jenessa found the display utterly ridiculous.
Only moments earlier, Ryan had promised her a proper explanation. Did he genuinely consider such an explanation acceptable?
Witnessing Ryan’s unwavering trust and protection of Maisie, Jenessa realized she should have expected nothing from someone like him.
At that moment, she felt choked with anger and disgust, yearning to disrupt the nauseating display of affection.
Infuriated, Jenessa rose abruptly and derided Ryan without holding back, her gaze frosty.
“Ryan, there’s really no need for you to degrade yourself by apologizing to someone as…
“Inconsequential” as me. I certainly don’t warrant it. Just make sure you don’t use that disastrous blind date with Tucker to insult me or continue blaming me for everything p>
With that, Jenessa turned on her heel and left.
