Chapter 152 Working Together

• The drive started off in awkward silence until Michael finally broke the tension. "I wanted to apologize for how I acted the other day," he began, keeping his eyes on the road. "I was just worried about my sister and scared you might spread things around that could get her killed by your brother."
• Nancy stiffened at the mention of their first disastrous meeting. Michael's threats still rang in her ears. Still, she forced herself to listen as he continued.
• "I love Scarlet more than anything, so I got carried away when I thought you were threatening her," he explained, finally glancing over at her with remorse etched on his face. "You might not know the full story of how she ended up with your brother, but I can assure you - it wasn't anything good."
