Mary Scott contacted Lambert Norman as soon as she left the office.
Jocelyn Spencer, in her humiliation and rage, would never let her off easily, and adding Charlotte Leigh to the mix—who knows what they might do? Especially since they were well-prepared, and Helena Marion was a major headache. Mary knew there was no escaping this time; she only hoped it wouldn't implicate Lambert too much.
When the call connected, Mary briefly explained the situation to Lambert, then fell silent before softly apologizing, "Lambert, I'm sorry."
Back then, she had agreed to Lambert's proposal to marry him to remain in M Kingdom; from the very start, she was using him. Now, just as everything seemed to have settled, she had brought such trouble to him again. She felt deeply guilty.
