Chapter 12
Macy felt utterly wronged. Yes, she had orchestrated the kidnapping, but she had clearly only instructed the kidnappers to throw Roxanne into the open sea and hadn’t told anyone to take Roxanne away afterward.
Now, she had no idea where Roxanne was. But she knew the kidnappers showing up here meant someone was clearly setting her up. Tearfully, she looked at Stanley.
“Stanley, I really don’t know. If you don’t believe me, let me go find Roxanne. I don’t care if I go without food, sleep, or anything. I’ll find her! Anyway, since Oliver isn’t by my side, it’s only fair that
I suffer a little…”
She cried pitifully. Usually, this act would soften his heart. But this time, it didn’t work.
Stanley’s presence was icy. His gaze at Macy was filled with nothing but scrutiny and anger, lacking the warmth and gentleness it once held.
Sapphire anxiously stepped in front of Macy. “Stan, why are you being so harsh on Macy? She’s been taking care of everything at home. Even if she made mistakes, I don’t think she did it on purpose.
“Do you have to make our home chaotic over another woman?
“It’s no big deal that the troublemaker, Roxanne, is gone. Legally, she has nothing to do with you anyway. Just seize the chance to focus on Macy and have a child with her. That’s what matters.”
Louis nodded in agreement. “Enough is enough. It’s just about finding someone. Do you really need to go yourself, as the CEO of the company?
“I’ll send people to look for Roxanne. You just stay home and be with Macy.
“This man showed up randomly to frame her. Do you actually trust him? Macy’s upset right now and needs comfort. You’re not allowed to leave!”
Stanley couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He remembered that in the past, Roxanne had once told him, “Sapphire and Louis are biased against me…”
Back then, he didn’t believe her and even told her to be patient with them and to treat them with respect since they were getting older.
It was only now that he realized how biased Louis and Sapphire really were toward their two daughters–in–law. Taking a deep breath, he said firmly, “Impossible! Rox is my wife. If she’s missing, there’s no way I’d just stay home and wait.
“As soon as I bring her back, I’ll divorce Macy and register my marriage with her. And don’t even think of using Oliver to manipulate me again!”
He shot a sharp glance at Macy.
Pretending to sob, she lifted her head to sneak a look at him, and her heart skipped a beat.

What had he realized from that look?
Luckily, her in–laws were stupid. They’d already been completely under her control.
Just moments ago, Sapphire had whispered to her that they had slipped something into Stanley’s water. After that night, he wouldn’t be able to turn her down.
With this thought, she became confident again.
Not wanting to interrupt, Louis and Sapphire quickly left.
Stanley was about to leave, but he stumbled before reaching the door.
Macy hurried forward to steady him, guiding him back into the room. “Stanley, don’t be mad at me. It’s Louis and Sapphire who arranged for this. I tried to reason with them, but they wouldn’t listen…”
She saw his eyes cloud over, reason slipping away, and his face flush as he shouted Roxanne’s name. Her smile froze for a moment, but she still wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed close, ignoring the flicker of disgust in his eyes.
