“Claudine, is it really necessary to make things hard for a newcomer? When did you start bullying others? You weren’t like this before.”
His words hit me harder than I expected, extinguishing my anger in an instant and replacing it with a wave of crushing disappointment.
And then, as if caught in the absurdity of it all, I suddenly found it funny. How effortlessly he turned the blame onto me, shielding her while leaving me out in the cold.
“I am bullying others by taking advantage of my power? Harvey, you have never defended other women in front of me, including your mother. This is the first time.”
A hint of incomprehension appeared on Harvey's stern face.
“We already agreed when we got married that for the sake of the reputation of the Rodrigo and Collins families, you wouldn't flirt with other women and I wouldn't hang out in nightclubs. Are you going to break the rules for that woman?”
Harvey's eyes were deep and cold when he heard that.
After thinking for a long time and finally called the family driver.
Finally, he leaned over to unbuckle my seat belt, his tone calm and measured.
