Morwenna was whisked away by Norbert.
Fletcher handed Adelaide over to his sister Jemima.
Then, Stuart grabbed Fletcher by the collar and dragged him off.
"Stuart, let's have a smooth talk."
The room door slammed shut with a decisive bang.
Stuart's gaze was chilling and stern as he confronted Fletcher. "What are you trying to pull?"
Fletcher sighed, "Stuart, I wasn't planning anything."
"Fletcher, are you betraying me too? Others might not see through you, but I know you well. You've always been charming around ladies, yet you keep your distance. What's with Morwenna?"
Fletcher paused before replying, "Stuart, don't you feel for Morwenna? I mean, maybe it's all just a misunderstanding. You keep saying she connived her way into marriage with you, but you know, from the look of things, she may not have wanted to marry you in the first place.."
Stuart suddenly remembered the day Morwenna agreed to move out of Windcharm Villas and acted disdainfully towards him.
She said she wasn't interested, bluntly stating Stuart was out of his mind.
In those moments, Morwenna had seemed truly genuine.
Stuart shook his head, dismissing the thoughts.
His voice grew harsher as he spoke, "It seems her tricks are quite effective. She's even managed to bewitch you."
Fletcher, rarely angry, snapped back, "Stuart, you have the means and ways. If you want to know the truth about Morwenna, you could easily find out instead of just hurting her based on your assumptions. Your mistrust is hurting her and she's innocent."
After saying his piece, Fletcher turned and left the room, knowing further discussion was pointless.
Stuart was stubborn. Once he made up his mind, no one could persuade him otherwise.
After a moment of silence, Stuart shook his head.
