"Mother," Sophia frowned. Her mother rarely made such a scene without any backing.

"Sophia," a male voice called.

Marco appeared from Florence's behind.

"I believe Alex has his reasons when it comes to Kelly. Don't doubt him. It's not good for a husband and wife to lose trust in each other," Marco said, attempting to seem like the perfect gentleman before Sophia.

"Marco," Florence sneered "don't lump all men in with you. You're too kind and good to be called a man. This loser? He's a scammer-willing to be any woman's lapdog for a penny."

"Aunt Florence, I believe Alex is noble and honorable," Marco insisted, his tone steady.

Florence scoffed bitterly. "Noble? Honorable? If he's noble, then who in the world is the real scammer? Sophia, why are you still keeping this man? He's cheated on you! You should kick him out!"

Sophia's gaze flitted nervously around the room, her heart in turmoil.

Doubt clouded her mind.

"You're always like this-always doubting everything! Doubt is an illness that infects the soul." Florence stepped forward and grabbed Sophia's hand tightly.

"Alex, we know you've been cheating! As Sophia's mother, I want you gone! Out of this house and out of her life-forever!"

"But, Mother... Grandpa-" Sophia's voice wavered.

"Your grandfather?" Florence cut her off. "If he knew Alex was cheating, he'd kick him out himself!"

Sophia fell silent, her shoulders slumping.

Alex's eyes remained locked on Sophia, searching her face for something- anything.

Florence's voice pierced the silence. "What are you waiting for? Get out! You're not welcome here!"

"Wait, wait!" Marco interrupted, holding up a hand. "You don't have to be this harsh to Alex. I believe he's a good guy."

Marco placed a reassuring hand on Alex's shoulder. "Brother, it looks like these women are still upset about... what happened. Maybe it's best to give them some time to cool down?"

Marco slowly pushed Alex toward the door.
