Hailey managed a bitter smile. She knew Arthur wasn''t unfaithful like other men. The reason she''d wanted a divorce was because she was afraid he would always defend Brittany. Now that he was defending her, her heart softened a little.


    "Brittany, to be honest, he thinks of you as his real sister. That''s why he felt you were more important. He and I are husband and wife; we''re a team. If he valued you, I would have valued you too. But what did you do? You trampled all over his sincerity."


    "My presence never had any negative impact on you. You were happy before I came, and you were happy after I arrived. I never touched anything of yours. So why did you want me dead? Why did you want my child dead?"


    "I will be reporting the poisoning to the police. Even if the Griffith family tries to protect you, even if Arthur tries to protect you, I will see this through to the end."


    Hailey would not let someone who tried to kill her get away with it, no matter her own humble origins.


    "Honey, you said it yourself, we''re a team. How could I let someone like her harm you and our child?"


    "She was never rted to the Griffith family to begin with. My mother made a mistake by adopting her. All these years, we raised her like a Griffith heiress. When other children had no clothes, she was already wearingvish dresses. When other children couldn''t go to school, she was enrolled in an elite private school. But some people are just never satisfied. Her ambition grew toorge; she wanted to swallow the Griffith family whole. Why would I keep someone like that around? To let her backstab us again? I''ve already called the police. I''ll give them all the evidence."


    Arthur then promised again in a firm voice, “Honey, how could I possibly protect such a vicious woman? The only people I care about are you and our son.”


    "I already told my mother what happened today. She''s flying back from abroad right now. She told me to do whatever needs to be done. The Griffith family has done nothing to wrong Brittany."


    Hailey was a little surprised. She looked at him. She had been so unhappy before because of Brittany, being left behind by her own husband time and again had left herpletely disheartened.


    Her family background was ordinary, and she had felt immense pressure being with him from the start. She got pregnant right after they married, but her mother-inw had actually been very good to her.


    Because her father-inw had an affair, her mother-inw understood her feelings well. She didn''t care about Hailey''s background; as long as Hailey was genuinelymitted to her son, she wouldn''t interfere.


    Her mother-inw was a good person, and she knew it.


    "Arthur, thank you for thinking this way, and thank you for siding with me and our child." From what she knew of Arthur, he deeply cherished his sister.


    Arthur smiled and held her. "Sweetheart, you''re my wife. If I couldn''t even protect you, I wouldn''t have let you stay by my side just to suffer. I would have let you go."


    His tone suddenly softened. "Don''t ever mention divorce again. No one can break us apart."


    "I wasn''t walking out on you before. It was because Brittany was hurt and she called me. As her brother, couldn''t just ignore her. But I always came back to you as quickly as could. Those photos she sent were meant to provoke you. Nothing happened."


    "You knew all of this, but it wasn''t until today that I understood her ulterior motives. It won''t happen


    again. From now on, besides yon et


    and Mom, I will never go to such lengths for anyone else. It''s not worth it."


    Hailey''s eyes welled with tears. She smiled and said, "We''ll see how you act from now on. If you go back to your old ways, then we''ll have to get a divorce. I''m not with you for your money. For me, having enough eat and a roof over my head is enough. I''m not materialistic. If I''m unhappy here with you, I''ll just find happiness somewhere else."
