The phone went off, an international long-distance call.
Paige's expression turned serious as she glanced at the caller ID.
She answered the call, her tone indicating her surprise. "I didn't think there would be a reason for us to ever communicate again."
Logan's voice on the other end was filled with anxiety as he tried to explain, "Paige, I've talked to her and cleared things up. I don't understand why she suddenly changed her stance. Please don't worry, I'll handle it and take full responsibility..."
Paige cut him off abruptly, her impatience evident in her tone. "That's enough, Logan! I can handle this on my own..." She paused briefly, her anger still burning inside her. "What's wrong with you? You were ready to leave me for Kelsey, even willing to break up, and now you're engaged and about to marry her, and you end it? Because of your actions, Kelsey holds a grudge, and now I'm caught in the crossfire. I can't stand you!"
With those words, Paige ended the call abruptly, cutting off any further conversation. Rosalynn intervened, emphasizing the need for caution. "We can't let Logan get involved. The online community is already highly agitated, and his defense would only worsen the situation."
Then, Logan called Paige again.
Rosalynn took over the call.
"Paige..."
"Stop it, don't do anything now. When it's time for you to respond, I'll let you know."
"Ms. Jared, thank you."
"Logan, no need for formalities, just pray this is the last trouble you're causing Paige, or Baillie will beat you up."
Logan stayed silent for a moment.
Soon, someone from the Sharp family called Paige.
"Paige, do you remember me? We met when your mother was still alive," Kelsey's mom spoke softly with a warm smile.
