Finally, Glynnis' defenses crumbled entirely, and she collapsed to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably.
“It was from me.”
Everyone was stunned. Frederic was completely dumbfounded, demanding in shock, “What did you just say? Repeat that?!”
“That report was given to me by Elspeth. I was the one who handed it over to Edith. That’s why it came to light,” Glynnis wept, tears and snot mingling on her face. The cat was out of the bag, and in a desperate bid to save herself, she had no choice but to come clean.
Admitting her mistake seemed a better option than having her disgrace broadcasted for all to see. After all, she was of the Abernathy bloodline; what did it matter if she had framed Marilla?
Her father, who valued family honor above all else, would surely step forward to protect her!
“Why would Elspeth just give you the medical report out of the blue?!” Hamilton gasped, struggling to catch his breath.
“I don’t know. Maybe the drugs messed up her brain, made her crazy!”
“You used Elspeth’s notorious deeds as leverage, threatening her to hand over something that could ruin Marilla's marriage prospects, didn’t you?” Thaddeus' eyes were dark with a smoldering rage.
Under immense pressure, Glynnis' mind went blank.
The man's conjectures hit the nail on the head, and she couldn't even muster a retort.
“Despicable! You’re even lower than a beast!” Hamilton, furious, slapped his thigh and could barely stand up with Mr. Murray's support, “Marilla is your own sister! You grew up together; she was good to you and trusted you so much. How could you betray her like this?!”
“You’re just low, like your late mother!” Frederic was utterly disappointed in his daughter.
“It’s all your fault for pushing me! Is it all just my fault?!”
Glynnis, at her wit's end, yelled hysterically, “Grandpa Hamilton! You always claimed you doted on me, but you showered all your affection on Marilla! I was the one who fell for Jareth first, yet you tried to match him with Marilla! Why does she get everything? What am I lacking?!”
At her words, Hamilton was flabbergasted. But then, his expression darkened, tears of fury welling up as he stepped forward and slapped the malevolent girl across the face - harder and heavier than before!
Thaddeus and Frederic were both shocked! Glynnis' eardrums throbbed with pain, and extreme pain made her face slick with cold sweat.
“The thing I despise most is when women, over some trivial love squabble, become jealous and even go so far as to harm their own flesh and blood to steal a man!”
