"Miss Trennery, please keep your distance from me. Don''t do anything that might make my wife misunderstand," Marion said.


    "Why? Why are you listening to her? It''s wrong to always give in to her like this," Lexie countered, pointing at Debra. "This woman keeps saying you shouldn''t be in touch with me, but everyone here knows better. She''s been fooling around these past few days. She''s not faithful to your marriage, and you should have divorced her."


    She stood on the high ground of morality, eager to expose Debra''s hypocrisy.


    Debra only found itughable. "That''s right. We should get a divorce, but Marion doesn''t agree. Try convincing him."


    Lexie quickly came over to help Marion out of the fountain. However, he didn''t appreciate it and wouldn''t even let her touch his clothes.


    Lexie was stunned that someone like Marion chose to be humiliated like that.


    "Mr. Houston, I''ve always liked you," she confessed earnestly. "If you ept me, I''ll do anything for you."


    Few men would turn down such an understanding girl like her. She would make a perfect wife.


    But Marion was one of those people. His stubbornness rattled her.


    Debra just watched the scene unfold with cold detachment.


    Grover emerged from the crowd, shocked by Marion''s devotion to Debra.


    "Mrs. Houston, you''re being a bit too harsh," he spoke up. "Lexie just admires Mr. Houston, and who in Orkgate doesn''t admire him? You can''t go after every girl who likes him. It''s absurd. Why don''t you just let it go?"


    Debra''s smirk only deepened. "Mr. Trennery, you made a mistake. Why would I argue with a young girl like Miss Trennery? I''m just punishing my husband, which is fair and reasonable. Besides, he doesn''t like her. Yet she confessed her love right in front of me and tried to wreck my marriage. I''ve been waiting for you to set her straight."


    Grover blushed with embracement. "Why are you so mean? Lexie just..."


    "I know," Debra interrupted him, "she admires Marion, right? She was just trying to convince Marion to divorce me. You heard that too, right?"<fn0445> Updates are released by find?novel</fn0445>
