Antonia nestled into Maxwell's arms and let out two feeble coughs.
"Max, don't pressure Amy. She's always hated me."
"I'll just stop treatment. Let me go be with my sister underground. I'm nothing but a burden anyway."
Maxwell tightened his arms around her, his voice aching.
"Don't talk like that. I'll save you. I promise."
Then he turned to me, every word laced with threat.
"Amy, your family's company is about to go public, isn't it? Right at this critical stage."
"If the public finds out that the Fox heiress refused to save a dying woman, didn't even have the guts to get tested for a bone marrow match, how do you think the SEC will react?"
"Fox Group's business is none of your concern."
I looked at him coldly and let every word land like a blade.
"You want to use public opinion to pressure me? Go ahead. Try it. See who ends up destroyed."
I carried Lily straight upstairs to the nursery on the second floor and locked the door behind us.
Once I'd soothed her to sleep, I pulled out my backup phone.
I, Amy Fox, had never been a pushover.
