As long as Mary could get the cameras installed, she was confident about getting the evidence. Sofia would definitely betray herself inadvertently. She would not have expected Mary to set up cameras in her home.
Mary did not know why Max agreed to help her. In fact, she did not know if he would play tricks behind her back.However, Max was still the best choice for this.
In order to fight against the two vicious women, Mary had to ally herself with Max.
She had misgivings about trusting Max. After all, Max was Sofia’s son and Sandra’s fiancé. However, Max had treated her well when they were young. She was willing to give Max a chance to atone himself and give herself a chance to forgive him.
The door was locked while they were kissing, but the sound was drowned out by their heavy breathing.
Max was so strong that Mary almost lost her balance as he pushed against her. Something ignited between them. They felt hotter and hotter, moving from behind the door to the sofa and then to the bathroom.
Max took off Mary’s clothes and left many love bites on her body, mixing them with the ones left last night.
After they were done, Max asked Mary to wait for him in the room. He took the equipment and went to finish what she had asked him to do. Before he opened the door, he turned around and gave Mary a smile. He was glad that Mary trusted him.
When Max came out of the room, he saw Sandra standing in the corridor outside. He did not know how long she had been there for. Her face was pale, and there was pain that could not be hidden in her eyes. She was very near to tears.
She put her hand on her heart, opened her mouth, and choked, “Max.”
Max glanced at her sharply and asked indifferently, “Why are you here?”
Sandra cried, “I wanted to come upstairs and get Mary.”
However, she did not expect that when she reached the door, that she would hear the sound of heavy panting.
It had lasted over an hour.
She had stayed outside and waited.
She swore in her heart. The that one day, she would have men torture Mary to death. She would not let Mary escape like the last time.
“Go back downstairs first. Mary will find you.”
Mary’s sounded from behind him, “I can head down now.”
Max turned around to see that Mary had come out of the room. Although she wore no makeup, she was still charming. There were also new kiss marks on her neck.
Sandra wanted to tear her apart when she saw the marks.
“Mary, you’ve been in the room with Max for so long. What were the two of you talking about?”
She had already hidden away the grievances and sadness she had expressed in front of Max earlier. Now, she was smiling faintly.
She was furious that she could not stop Max from having relations with Mary, but she could not show her anger to her. Otherwise, Mary would gain pleasure from knowing that she made her mad.
All these years, Max had never wanted Sandra. She had fake love bites to deceive Mary into thinking that Max had done it with her.
Mary said dismissively, “You said you wanted to talk to me. Let’s go downstairs.”
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Max. It was obvious that she was asking him to do what he had to. Mary and Sandra went downstairs and Max returned to his room.
Once downstairs, Sandra raised her hand, intending to slap Mary hard across the face, but Mary caught her wrist. Mary sneered and said lazily, “Sandra, think about it carefully. If you dare to touch me, I can get him to cancel the wedding immediately.”
“Mary, you’re so shameless.”
Sandra was furious. She gritted her teeth and suppressed her voice. She was afraid that Max would suddenly appear.
Mary chuckled, “I’m shameless? No. You’re the one who is shameless. Sandra, don’t provoke me before your wedding.”
“Max is just playing with you. Do you think he really likes you?”
Sandra was indignant.
Mary said indifferently, “I don’t care. I don’t need him to like me.”
“Do you know why he had sex with you upstairs earlier? It is because my legs still hurt, and he is afraid of hurting me. He will abandon you after I have fully recovered.”
Mary suddenly laughed. She was so charming. It would make anyone jealous.
She glanced at the kitchen, lowering her voice, and said to Sandra, “But he told me that he has never touched you in the past five years.”
Sandra was so embarrassed that she became speechless. Her eyes shone with hatred and she raised her hand to slap Mary again. This time, Mary pushed her to the ground.
Sandra’s scream attracted Sofia’s attention.
“Sandra, how did you fall? Mary, why didn’t you help her up?”
Sofia looked at Mary reproachfully.
Sandra choked, “Sofia, she was seducing Max upstairs.”
Sofia froze mid-way while helping Sandra up. She looked at Mary. Sofia saw the marks on her neck.
Her eyes turned cold. “Mary, have you forgotten what you promised me before?”
Sofia’s words pained Mary, as if being stabbed by a steel needle. Even if she had come back full of hatred and bent on revenge, she still felt hurt. After all, she had spent ten years in the Gaston family. Sofia’s constant reminders had long been ingrained in her heart.
Because she cared for Max, during the first few years, she often had nightmares where Max had collapsed before her, covered in blood.
“Mary, do you really want Max to die a horrible death?” Sofia further asked, her tone even sharper than before. Seeing Mary’s expression falter, Sofia knew that the vow was not completely useless against her.
Mary bit her lips. She met Sofia’s gaze with clear eyes and said calmly, “Sofia, whether it was five years ago or just now, I was forced into it by Max. I had no choice either. If the oath really does come true, then let it happen.”
“You…” Sofia stared at Mary in disbelief. Was she not afraid that Max would die?
“You’re so evil.” Sofia gritted her teeth and questioned, “We have raised you for ten years. Max treats you as his sister. How can you be so vicious as to kill him?”
Despite all that Sofia said, there was not much hatred in her eyes.
Mary was shocked.
Her expression changed ever so slightly. “Sofia, you are wrong.”
“What?” Sofia raised her voice.
Mary smiled faintly. “You’ve always been the one who wished for my brother’s death. You are the one who forced me to make that oath.”
“I did that to stop you from making moves on them.” Sofia retorted.
Mary raised her eyebrows disapprovingly. “If the oath really does come true, then I can’t do anything about it. Not only Max, if Marcus confesses to me one day, I will also agree to be together with him. After all, Max wants to marry Sandra and Marcus likes me so much. If I marry Marcus, won’t you lose two sons overnight?”
“How dare you!” Sofia raised her hand, intending to slap Mary.
Mary dodged backwards and Sofia missed her. Sofia was so angry that his face contorted hideously.
“Mary, you ingrate. I’ve raised you for ten years but you want to kill my sons. But have you forgotten? Even if you seduce Marcus, the person who will die a horrible death is Max, the one who brought you back to this family!”

“Still angry about what happened earlier?” On the way back, Max turned to look at Mary a few times. She was looking out the window, thinking about something. A few seconds later, Mary turned around.
She looked coldly at his perfect profile. She pursed her lips and asked calmly, “When is Marcus coming back?”
“Why are you asking about Marcus?”
Max’s expression darkened. A glint of doubt flashed across his narrowed eyes. “Mary, is what you said to my mom earlier true? It’s not just a joke?”
