Claudia's voice, sharp as a knife, cut through the suffocating silence of the car. "His Grandfather's health disturbed Theodore. When he was sad and lonely, he turned to his childhood friend for solace."
She lifted her chin haughtily as she continued, "They've been inseparable since they were children. Now, in this moment of crisis, he finds peace and support in Gina. No matter how much he tries to avoid her, he inevitably finds his way back to her."
Bella's heart ached. She felt as if someone was ripping her apart. The words felt like icy daggers, piercing her soul. "I don't believe it," she managed to croak as she shoved the phone back into Claudia's hands. "Theodore doesn't like Gina. He told me he had no feelings for her."
A cruel smirk played on Claudia's lips. "Then why was he in her arms?" she retorted with contempt. "Why didn't he go back to you when he needed support? Why was he with Gina?"
