She wasn’t as elegant as me, and all she knew was to cook and clean around the house. She didn’t deserve your brother. Didn’t you say these things yourself?”
Eliana walked over, her heels clacking against the marble floor, and sat on the other side of Declan.
“He doesn’t want a housewife, but a wife who can match him in social standing. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have divorced Miss Moore, right?”
Sadie fumed, “What a load of nonsense!”
“Enough!” Declan yelled, all fed up with the two women’s constant fighting.
“You used to be so close, why are you always butting heads now?”
“Declan… Sadie whined and glared at Eliana.
“It’s because of this insolent woman! She’s always stirring up trouble!”

“Declan!
I’m telling you! You need to watch Eliana. I’m pretty sure she hasn’t been thinking of you these last few weeks at all!”
Declan only frowned at her.
“Can you stop being so suspicious? You didn’t like Hannah, either, did you? Are you going to act like this with anyone?”
“That’s different!” Sadie tried to explain, but faltered at the last second. She didn’t know how to even start. She only bullied Hannah because the woman was such a pushover.
