บท 232: We need to talk

"Oh, please, spare me that sermon. None of this would have happened if you and Helminsworth had listened to me and just left her alone. It would have been easier to get rid of her. But no! You just wouldn't leave her be. You had to have her by all means. Look where it landed us. I wonder what the fuck you saw in her that made you think you couldn't live without her." Majelisa stepped closer to Jeremy, looking him in the eye. "Tell me, Jeremy. Did she bewitch you?"

At this point, Helen, who had been quietly listening to the exchange of words with her eyes closed, snapped the open. She fixed her annoyed gaze on Majelisa, who was steering the argument in an unpleasant direction.

"Stop it, Lisa. This is not the time—"

"You want to know?" Jeremy cut Helen off, fisting his palms as he decided to clear Majelisa's doubts.
