Brisa answered , " I was the one who asked Matto come over and kep me company . I haven't seen her in so long , and I really missed her . " " Oh , see babel nodded , but she still looked a little puzzled " ut there was a well - dressed woman standing next to G Do you know who she is , Anathen ? " A woman ? " Brisa's expression darkened instantly Gregory Analica noticed the shill and tried to steer the conversation elsewhere , but Isabel beat her to it . " Yeah , and she even arrived with Gregory . " Brisa's face turned serious as she looked at Anathea . " Walt a mine . I told Arnold to pick you and Gregory up together . How did you get here ? " Anathea hesitated for a moment before answering honestly , " I drove myself . " Brisa's brows furrowed as she snapped , " Unbelievable ! That little beat actually left you to drive here alone ? " " Grandma , actually- " Anathea tried to explain , but Brisa cut her off . " Don't defend him ! " Anathea rarely saw Brisa this angry , so she swallowed her words and stayed quiet . Seeing Brisa's reaction , Isabel finally realized she might have said something she shouldn't have . She shot Anathea an apologetic look . Anathea knew Isabel was always straightforward and never meant any harm . She'd only been curious , that was all . Anathea gave her a slight nod to show she understood . However , Brisa was already too worked up . She clutched her chest breathing heavily . " Grandma ! " " Mrs. Sinclair Senior ! " Anathea and Isabel immediately rushed to her side , calling for the family doctor . After a quick checkup , the doctor reassured them , " Mrs. Sinclair Senior just got too worked up . She'll be fine after some rest . Just make sure she avoids any more emotional outbursts . " " Got it , " Anathea said seriously , her gaze shifting to Brisa , who was now lying down to rest . A complicated emotion flickered in her eyes . If just this bit of news upset Brisa this much , Anathea couldn't imagine what would happen if Brisa found out she and Gregory had already signed the divorce agreement . " Don't be mad , Grandma , " Isabel whispered , trying to smooth things over . " I only said it casually . I didn't even see clearly . Maybe I was mistaken . " She'd only caught a glimpse from afar and had never even gotten a good look at Natalie . Brisa remained silent , her expression cold as she turned to Anathe " Nat , come here . " Anathea walked up to her , ready to say something to calm her down . But before she could , Brisa took her hand and sighed . " You must've been through so much . " Anathea froze , caught off guard . For some reason , hearing those words instead of an interrogation made her nose sting She'd always believed that her marriage to Gregory was something she'd fought for . She'd gotten what she'd wanted , and since others saw her methods as less than honorable , she had no right to feel wronged no matter how much Gregory ignored her . Hearing Brisa say that made her heart feel strangely heavy . Chapter 19 +25 BONUS Thankfully , Isabel chimed in at the right time and lightened the rod " Grandma , don't worry ! I'll go grab Gregory from the garden right now and make him apologize to Anathea in front of you ! " Anathea blinked in surprise . " Wait , that's not- " Before she could finish , Isabel had already hooked her arm around Anathea's , looking all fired up and ready to take down a homewrecker , " Come on , Anathea , let's go ! " Anathea tried to resist , but she was no match for Isabel , who was a fitness enthusiast . She was practically dragged toward the garden . " Listen , Anathea , " Isabel sald as they marched forward . "When it comes to women who go after other people's husbands , you can't go easy on them . You have to make sure they know exactly who the real Mrs. Sinclair is ! "
