Alexander revealed a cold and mocking look at the mention of Nicolas. He ran his fingers through his hair, covering his face with his forearm in the process. It was as if he did not want Avery to see his devilish expression.
Instead of answering Avery's question directly, he asked, "Miss Carter, in your opinion, what would make my mom leave me at that time and run to the roof alone?"
Avery put herself in Maggie's shoes. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "I think the most likely possibility is that Maggie found out that Nicolas was having a rendezvous with another woman on the roof at that time. That woman might be someone Maggie cared deeply about, such as her enemy, her friend, or her trusted aide. The news caught her by surprise, so she had to confirm it with her own eyes."
