The Year I Was the Other Woman To Myself novel Chapter 738

"What does your survival have to do with me?" Marin asked flatly.

"Marin, how can you be so heartless!"

"I'm heartless. Deal with it."

Lavinia slammed her empty glass down, buried her face in her hands, and began weeping loudly.

"Honey, just do it as a favor to me. Give her one more chance," Ellison said, frowning.

"Ellison, I don't like wasting breath, and I don't play games. Just like I told you yesterday, this company only has room for one of us. It's her or me. You choose."

"Marin, she already apologized to you! What more do you want?!" Ellison roared.

Marin gave a bitter smile. "So you're screaming at me for her sake?"

"I... I made a promise to my professor—"

"Stop bringing up your professor. I went to see him a few days ago. He told me he never asked you to look out for Lavinia. In fact, he thinks she lacks competence and isn't grounded enough. He said she was never a good fit for our company to begin with!"

Ellison froze. "You went behind my back and interrogated my mentor?! You trust me that little?"

"I—"

"We've been married for eight years, and with that one move, you turned everything I've built into a joke! You have completely disappointed me!"

Penelope rubbed her temples. Ellison's gaslighting skills were top-tier. He had clearly manipulated Marin like this countless times before.

"It's not that I don't trust you, I just—"

"Well, the facts prove he isn't worth trusting anyway!" Penelope interrupted Marin's attempt to defend herself.

Only an idiot would try to explain themselves in a moment like this.

"This is a conversation between a husband and wife! Keep out of it!" Ellison finally lost his composure and screamed at Penelope.
