Chapter 1628:

Brook, seemingly enjoying the discomfort he was causing, let the silence stretch between them before finally continuing, “If I were to marry her, I’d be constantly wondering how many times she would betray me. Marrying her would only bring me misery.”

Zoe, incensed, slammed her hand onto the table. “How could she behave this way? This is utterly scandalous!” Her voice was sharp, like the crack of thunder in a storm. “In all the women who’ve married into the Owen family, none have ever displayed such disgrace!”

Jordy, his voice barely a whisper, ventured, “But… what if Corrie changes once she’s married? What if she stops her… affairs?”

Zoe’s tone was scornful. “Change? Do you honestly believe that a woman who has lived a certain way for so long will suddenly transform after marriage? Trusting such a woman to become faithful is like hoping a leopard will change its spots!”
