“What a magnificent marriage scam you orchestrated, Mr. Hall!
“You had Sophia wrapped around your finger, and now you’re putting on another act? Who is this performance for?
“If you love Isabelle, why did you marry Sophia? You’re disgusting. Vile.
“Thank God you don’t have kids. Just divorce her already and stop wasting her time.”
Bella slowly stepped forward, unable to restrain her own anger.
“Damian, you’ve gone too far. You have a beautiful, capable, and graceful wife, and you don’t appreciate her.
“Instead, you go for that uncultured punk, Isabelle. Have you lost your mind?”
“Bella, shut up!”

When he looked up again, his eyes were a bottomless pit of ice.
“You should show her some respect. Is that any way to talk about her?”
