Elizabeth, tearful, confronted Daniel.
“I know something was off for some time. Now I’ve heard it. The whole truth.
It’s over for you!”
Daniel pleaded, “Wait, both of you, just wait. I can explain everything!” he cried, pretending like he was innocent.
Sophia laughed and cut him off. “Explain?” she asked.
“You’ve done enough explaining. Now it’s our turn.”
Elizabeth raised her phone. “Thanks to Sophia’s evidence and my recording, I’ll take everything from you, including our business!” she warned him.
“Look, let’s not overreact,” Daniel urged.
“We can sit down and work this out. It’s just a misunderstanding!”
“A misunderstanding?” Elizabeth scoffed. “Sophia, did you misunderstand my husband’s intentions in any way, perhaps?” she asked.
“Nope,” Sophia said.
“I understood him perfectly. He said he loved me and wanted to divorce you and be with me. But I don’t want this man near me any longer!
He is dead to me.”
“That’s pretty much what I heard, too,” Elizabeth said. She stepped out of the car and stood where Sophia had been moments before, looking down on Daniel.
“You have your divorce, Daniel. I’ll get our business lawyer to draw up the papers.
I’m sure she’ll be happy to do that. I hope you can afford her with what little you’ll have left when we’re through.”
Feeling defeated, Daniel suggested, “I’ll pack a bag and stay with my brother. We can figure things out later, okay?”
Elizabeth dismissed him.
“Goodbye, Daniel! And yeah, keep the car. You can live in it if your brother doesn’t help!”
“Elizabeth, please don’t do this,” Daniel begged.
“It’s done, Daniel.
Goodbye,” Elizabeth concluded, leading Sophia towards the front door.
“How about a drink?” she asked Sophia, and they walked away hand-in-hand.
