Marjorie was furious. She found Clark utterly unreasonable.
He was the one who had made the mistake, and now he was turning around and blaming her.
How could he be so shameless?
Just yesterday, he was having sex his other woman in a restroom, and now he had the audacity to come and lecture her, his actual girlfriend.
"We're breaking up! I want to break up with you," Marjorie screamed, her eyes filled not with sadness, but with rage and disgust.
Her words stunned Clark. He had never imagined Marjorie would bring up breaking up.
He knew she had initially approached him for his money, but over the past few years, he believed their connection had grown beyond something as trivial as wealth.
He was determined to marry Marjorie because she hadn't abandoned him when he was at his lowest.
She had not only taken him in but had also encouraged him.
True love is tested in hardship, and sticking together through thick and thin was a quality many women lacked.
As for all his other flings, he was well aware they were only after his money.
He understood how attraction worked. People were drawn to each other for money, power, personality, or looks.
They wanted his money.
He wanted their looks and their entertaining personalities.
It was a mutually beneficial arrangement, perfectly logical.
Marjorie was the most suitable candidate to be his wife.
Clark felt Marjorie was overreacting. All of his friends were the same way; he was actually one of the better ones.
"I just made a mistake that any man would make. I already know I was wrong, but you're being completely unforgiving. Am I really that terrible in your eyes?" Clark saw it as a minor issue.
His own father had countless mistresses, and his mother knew all about them. As long as he didn't produce any illegitimate children, her position was secure.
In his mother's words: "Just think of it as him hiring a very expensive call girl."
