Jodie frowned and sneered, "You're being unreasonable, and you're trying to find excuses for your lack of responsibility."
Heinz continued to criticize her bluntly, "You have not been sleeping with me for only two months. I know that you have been hooking up with Aaron before we got married, weren't you?"
"You got what I couldn't give you from Aaron. He respected you and treated you like a servant obeying his queen."
"You have received a lot of benefits from me, but you couldn't be satisfied spiritually. You are not a woman who is easy to be satisfied in the very first place."
"Even if there was no Aaron, there would be other men. Even with him, you would not have been satisfied either."
"When you went to Alsburg, you were still not satisfied being with him. What you want is not just men."
"Instead, it is the needs of men."
"What you need is for men to love and care for you with all their hearts. You even want them to need you to the extent of not being able to live without you."
"For that very reason, you'd do practically anything, no matter the cost."
"I don't know the exact reason for your return this time, but I think the reason you left without signing the divorce agreement was not that you loved me."
"It's because you're not reconciled with the fact that if I was to be single, I'll be free to marry another woman. You simply couldn't let that happen and wanted to seek revenge."
"Your desire for revenge is too compelling."
"I think you must have wanted to keep me married to you for the rest of my life so that I couldn't remarry even if I wanted to."
"Jodie, you had this all planned out to perfection in your head, didn't you?"
"You knew very well that you are your parents' only daughter, and they couldn't possibly bear to drive you out of the family."
"Therefore, you took matters into your own hands and unscrupulously dared to play a game of death. You really are a self-centered woman." "Now that you've treated your parents like a savage, I believe that there is no woman as vicious as you to walk this Earth."
"You're the only one who can still be so self-righteous and entitled after driving your old-aged father to his death!"
"Are you done?" Jodie looked at Heinz and rebuked him furiously, "Did you come to tell me this in hopes of teaching me a lesson?"
"No," Heinz shook his head, "Thank goodness I made this trip. If I hadn't, I might have regretted it. But now that I'm here, I feel like I've finally been freed of any underlying guilt."
He would never have to feel sorry for anyone in the Lawson family again.
Every single person's fate is a direct result of their own actions.
Both Nathan and Pearlyn were this way, and it was the same case with Jodie as well.
She glanced at him and was furious. "You're finally freed? Forget about freeing yourself for the rest of your life," she retorted.
Her tone became faster as she spoke, "It was you who betrayed me first. You cheated on me before we got divorced. Instead of saying that I've driven my father to death, it was us who drove him to death. If it wasn't for your betrayal of me with Grace, my father wouldn't have died."
Heinz took a deep breath.
Jodie was really a person who left others speechless for wrong reasons.
He looked at her and said in a deep voice, "Jodie, I don't care what you say, but things are not going to end well for you and your accomplice behind the scenes."
He stared intently at her, not missing every twitch in her expression. He wanted to find out who the person behind the scenes was.
Jodie might blurt it out after she was infuriated.
She scoffed, "It's impossible for you to catch him. He has already left the country."
Heinz fixed his gaze on her. As it turned out, that was it.
"That's why you're so hysterical. It's because the person behind the scenes abandoned you like a chess piece," he mocked.
His words hit her weak spot. Her pupils constricted with each word. She then looked at him as she let out a hysterical low growl, "Shut up!"
"What? Oh, I've hit your weak spot." He smiled a little and continued to mock her, "You know that you're no longer worthy of anything; that's why you're so hysterical that you don't even care for your parents' lives."
Jodie clenched her hands, that were in handcuffs, tightly, as his words hit her hard.
