"This is something you used to wear." Marcus paused for a few seconds before speaking again, "Gross!"
Courtney’s face changed, she roared, "I'm gross? You're calling me gross? Your dad was the first one to betray me, why don’t you say he's gross? Or do men think it's cool for men to fool around, but if women do it, it's shameless?"
"He’s even grosser!" In Marcus's mind, a married man or a woman should be responsible for the marriage and preserve its sanctity. Not messing around was the least requirement.
And because of this, when he mistakenly thought his wife was cheating, he was so determined to divorce her.
"You're just as heartless and ungrateful as him, like you were cut from the same cloth." Courtney took a deep breath and continued, "You have his blood in you; sooner or later you'll betray your marriage, and ditch your wife."
"What happens with me and my wife is none of your business." Marcus made a dismissive gesture again, clearly wanting her to leave.
"Cornelia doesn't know you're Jeremy yet, does she? You don’t want to tell her? Marc, what are you so worried about? Afraid she'll find out about the Hartley family’s dirty laundry?" Leaving a bomb in Marcus's mind, Courtney waved and confidently walked away.
Walking out of the yard, Billy who had been waiting outside immediately came up and opened the car door for her, "Madam, you know they are not on your side, why do you do this?"
Courtney got into the car and leaned comfortably on the seat, "Because I know, that's why I came. That man told me at the end of the year that he had a woman outside. Every year end, that thing pricks my heart like a needle. I don't have a good life. Why should they live happily?"
