"I... me and Mr. Wellington?"
Sophie Jenkins turned pale, immediately showing a look of disdain, and righteously said, "How could that be... what are you talking about? I admit, I have indeed been with Mr. Wellington, but it was only recently that we came together for mutual comfort."
"I feel sorry for Mr. Wellington's plight. He has such unfilial children, such an unappreciative wife... I think he lives a very difficult life, lacking love despite money and status, which is why... And Mr. Wellington knows about my family's situation and was moved by the fact that I wasn't led astray by Grandpa and my aunt, thus having a different view of me. We came together only after Mr. Wellington's divorce, please don't believe the slander made by my grandfather in his anger."
"Yes." Just then, Marie Wellington also nodded.
