To some extent, she felt guilty, as her demands had destroyed her husband’s family. She didn’t want that. God is witness.
In the end, Richard said he would now file for divorce. «I’m very bitter and hurt from learning the truth,» he told his wife with offense in his voice. «Now it’s clear why you tried to slander the daughter-in-law, you sensed your own sin…
But you were wrong, not everyone is like you.» Elizabeth no longer shouted or justified herself, just quietly cried from helplessness. And Brandon gently took his wife’s hand and quietly said, «Don’t blame yourself, dear.
Better bitter truth than sweet lie.» He was even grateful to his wife for opening his eyes to his mother. Of course, his mind understood, but his heart didn’t want to believe in the meanness of a close person.
And the mother-in-law got a good lesson. No point shifting from a sick head to a healthy one. All she achieved with her intrigues and games was a destroyed family and a lonely retirement.
Fate turned out to be the cleverest in this story. It presented such a gift that one could only grieve.
