Love On Ice: Don’t Leave Me, My Charming Liar

Chapter 346: After the call ended, her gaze drifted toward the potent concoction on the counter. Her mind buzzed with anticipation, already playing out the chaos to come. The Brooks family gathering would surely be entertaining. She could almost see it-Nyla, unknowingly under the drug's influence, her allure magnified beyond control. A soft chuckle escaped Callie's lips as the thought took root. "Too bad I won't be there to enjoy it firsthand," she murmured to herself. 3 Nyla didn't want to go to the Brooks Mansion.

She could manipulate anyone. She'd do anything to get what she wanted. This was just another ploy to make him send her away. But it wouldn't work. Jackson frowned, unconvinced. "She's never been like this before. I think she might need to see a therapist.

After losing the child and everything that's happened... there's only so much someone can handle." Jackson felt like she might be on the verge of a complete breakdown. . . .
