The Shame

Listening to Damien Sterling's mockery and trampling, Emma Hart knew all too well that his actions were not solely motivated by those few photos. 

 

But now, Emma had no time to argue with Damien Sterling, as her grandmother awaited surgery in the emergency room, urgently needing her signature. 

 

Determined, Emma Hart stepped forward. 

 

Oliver Westmore, trailing behind her, tried to hold her back, but it was too late. 

 

Emma approached Damien Sterling, her lips pressed tightly together, and finally, she spoke, "Mr. Sterling, please, I beg you, save my grandmother!"

 

A wise man never quarrels over immediate losses.

 

"How do you plan to repay this debt?" the man asked, feigning a furrowed brow as he gazed at Emma Hart.
