"Am I an outsider? I've known Ashton for over twenty years, and our relationship is far beyond that of ordinary friends. I care about my friend, and I'm not at ease with him just casually marrying a woman. I'm afraid he'll be deceived, so I investigated you."
"Is there anything wrong with what I did?"
"Weren't you just attracted to Ashton's status, coveting the position of the young lady of the Heath family, that's why you married him so quickly?! Joanna Lawrence, stop pretending, you may be able to deceive Ashton, but you can't deceive me."
At this moment, Rebecca Kelloway finally broke down.
All her pretenses have collapsed.
Realizing that Ashton Heath truly had feelings for Joanna Lawrence and that she might not have a chance, she completely fell apart.
"You don't even love Ashton." Rebecca cried out in despair, "You don't deserve Ashton treating you so well. Joanna, what right do you have to make him treat you like this?"
"Simply because she's my wife, the woman I like."
