Many people had seen Ellen choke Fiona when they opened the door. Now Ellen had admitted it!
This was deliberate hurting.
If Fiona insisted, Ellen would be sent to jail!
But this was not what Jamie wanted.
Therefore, he planned to let Fiona vent her anger and move on.
Now Jamie was disturbed. He tried to persuade himself that it was much more interesting to torture Ellen than to send her to jail.
The Robbins family's defeat was a start. Ellen's parents were still alive.
Their nuclear family still existed.
His parents passed away when an accident struck the McBride family. Now, Jamie was rich and powerful, but he would never be able to take care of his parents.
He ignored her pale face and told himself that the woman was a hypocrite and a liar. She was not worth his sympathy.
In his most difficult time abroad, Jamie once fought with dogs for food!
What Ellen had suffered paled in comparison.
