Natalie was taken aback. She suddenly realized that, as venomous as this woman was, she was the only one who saw things with brutal clarity.
Arthur Griffith was stunned, unable to believe what he was hearing.
“So, when you said your stomach hurt, that you fell, that you were being followed… it was all a deliberate act to make me come find you, to make Hailey think I was having an affair.”
“What else could it be? Arthur Griffith, do you honestly expect me to believe you never had feelings for me? Can you honestly say you were never tempted by me? Can you honestly say that in your heart, I’m not as important as your wife?”
“It’s because you see me as a woman, because your resolve wavered, that you came running to me time and time again, leaving her behind. She tolerated you, she put up with you until she reached her limit.”
“Now she can’t take it anymore, and that’s why she’s divorcing you. Your love wasn’t exclusive, and that’s what gave women like me an opening.”
“So, why are you pushing all the blame onto me?” Brittany screamed, her voice raw with anguish.
She had wanted to marry Arthur Griffith. They weren’t blood-related, after all.
But Hailey Lawson had snatched him away, and she had harbored a deep resentment for Hailey ever since.
Arthur was completely bewildered. “What do you mean, boundaries?”
“Brittany, I’m not like Sebastian.”
Sebastian thought, *What the hell? Why are you dragging me into this?*
He suddenly felt he shouldn’t be there.
“Brittany, I left my wife home alone to see you because you were hurt, because I cared about you as my sister. But you used my concern to drive a wedge between my wife and me. You say I have no boundaries? Have I ever slept with you or even held your hand? I have only ever loved my wife. When you claimed you sprained your ankle, I had a bodyguard carry you. Did I ever carry you?”
