"Why are you so furious about Lilian and me seeing each other?" Alex challenged, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "She's an orphan—why target someone who has no parents to defend her, unlike you, who's always ready to defend your daughter? If you had taught Isabel not to engage with her brother-in-law, maybe you wouldn't feel so much resentment and unwarranted fear."
He leaned closer, his expression hardening. "I was with Isabel while Lilian was still my wife. So tell me, why didn't you react then? Isabel is a messy and shameless woman, devoid of any sense of decency."
Alex paused, allowing his words to sink in before delivering the final blow. "So, focus on yourself and your troublesome daughter before casting blame on Lilian and me."
