Caroline got her courage when Derrek was around.
She had come to the ward when Derrek was parking the car, intending to chastise Natasha and drive her away. However, she didn't expect to run into Declan, nor did she expect to be blocked by guards. She was enraged.
When she looked at the icy fury in Derrek's eyes, she sneered inwardly. This was the golden opportunity to turn Derrek completely against Declan.
"This is nothing new to me. I am accustomed to his accusations." She spat out her rage freely. "His hatred for me is so deep that he completely disregards the fact that Earl is Amber's husband. Why is Natasha sticking around with him? A woman like her, who doesn't hesitate to snatch another woman's husband, can make a lot of enemies. Instead of blaming me, interrogate her."
Declan chuckled, finding her words funny. "The same thing applies to you... SNATCHING SOMEONE'S HUSBAND." He emphasized the three words. "Your daughter is more awful than you."
