Why did she continue to endure such a marriage?

The outcome she faced was a passive divorce, allowing him to trample all over her dignity.

A hint of sadness flickered in Brian's eyes.

“Do you really mean that?" he asked.

"Yes," Rosalynn replied without hesitation, making the air around Brian turn even colder.

It became painfully clear that in her eyes, he couldn't even hold a candle to Barlow.

She had managed to convince him that she and Barlow were innocent, but it was just a facade.

It seemed that he had been the only one truly committed to their relationship.

Perhaps the reason she stayed by his side was because he kept pestering her.

It was clear she felt deeply wronged.

After staring at Rosalynn for a few seconds, Brian sneered, turned on his heel, and walked away.

He returned to his apartment and slammed the door, the sound echoing loudly.

Rosalynn, too, slammed her door shut and leaned against it. She closed her eyes in an attempt to calm herself.

Brian's last look left her confused.

It was as if she had betrayed him.

However, he was the one who had divorced her.

In the apartment across the hallway, Brian stood in an empty room, feeling like a beast tearing him apart from the inside.

He walked to the window, retrieved a cigarette from the pack, and lit it.

The smoke veiled his handsome face as he stood there, replaying Rosalynn's words in his mind.

He snapped back to reality when the cigarette's glowing tip nearly burnt his fingertips.
