They found Alexia holding Mary's chin. Grandma was ready to strike the woman in front of her, but Emma held her back, reminding her it wasn't worth ruining Mary's day because of this woman.
"Miss Levett, are you deaf? You heard my granddaughter-get out! Or I'll have you thrown out.
Alexia released Mary's chin and said, “Maximus loves me, and he always will. You only cbetween us, but know this: if I called him right now and told him I'm waiting outside, he'd leave you at the altar for me." Emma, normally calm and composed, gathered her courage and grabbed Alexia by the arm.
"Miss Levett, don't push your luck. Leave now," Emma said as she escorted her out of the room.
Once outside, they encountered Leopold, and Emma spoke to him.
"Leopold, please escort Miss Levett to the exit and ensure that security doesn't let her back in under any circumstances." "Yes, Emma. Miss..." Leopoldo said, gesturing for Alexia to follow him.

"Maximus and 1 slept together the night I stayed at his house after your birthday. I gave him my virginity..." Grandma and Emma were stunned. They hadn't expected that confession. Emma spoke first.
"Miss, that has nothing to do with his proposal. He's loved you since you first stayed with us, and I can testify I to how much he missed you. Now that you're liere, he's found peace again, and that's something not just anyone can give him. You mean a lot to him."
"Yes, maybe what you're saying is true, but that doesn't mean he loves me. I don't want to get hurt. You both heard her-he's obsessed with her. What if I walk down the aisle and he doesn't show up?"
