Katherine remained entirely unmoved by her adopted daughter's pleas, steadfast in her demand that Maisie produce an heir for the Miller family.
Although Maisie hadn't given in while facing her mother, she knew she had absolutely no power to fight this.
She owed the Miller family entirely too much.
Throughout all her years in the family, not a single person had ever doubted her lineage. Even Gideon had no idea she wasn't related to them by blood.
If having her brother's child was truly the only way to repay their kindness, she honestly had no idea what to do.
At noon, Maisie returned to Mason's villa looking like a ghost of herself.
Ivy was in the living room, helping Stella with her writing.
Seeing how utterly devastated Maisie looked, Ivy quickly walked over and asked with concern.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?"
Maisie looked at her, and the tears immediately spilled over.
She threw her arms around Ivy and sobbed like a lost child.
"Ivy, my heart hurts so much. I'm in agony. I feel like my entire world just collapsed."
"What do I do? What am I supposed to do?"
Her mother knew Mason would never willingly sleep with her.
She had even given her drugs.
She wanted Maisie to drug him and sleep with him while he was completely out of his mind.
Maisie couldn't understand how any mother in the world could be capable of such a thing.
Just to secure a bloodline, she was not only coercing her daughter but also plotting against her own son.
Wasn't she afraid her son would sever all ties with her the moment he found out?
Maisie felt like she was on the verge of a total breakdown, her body going so weak she could barely stand.
Thankfully, Ivy caught her and held her steady.
Seeing her cry so hysterically, Ivy was thrown into a complete panic, asking worriedly.
"Maisie, what happened to you?"
Maisie just kept crying.
She didn't dare confess what was actually going on.
If word of this got out before it happened, her mother would absolutely despise her.
She desperately tried to rein in her emotions, but her body betrayed her, violently shuddering uncontrollably.
Realizing something was seriously wrong, Ivy quickly guided her to the sofa, trying to help her regain control.
Although she didn't know Maisie all that well, she knew she was a genuinely good person.
