"Marie Wellington, don't you understand even now?" Just when Marie Wellington was in a state of desolate madness, Mandy Jenkins, who had been standing silently by the sidelines, couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward.
She looked at Marie Wellington, at this defeated man, the one she had once genuinely liked and wanted to spend her life with.

Two years ago... didn't you ever wonder why the old man suddenly decided two years ago to leave all his shares to Ian and Joan?"
Mandy Jenkins' words brought a moment of clarity to the frenzied Marie Wellington.
He couldn't help but recall, two years ago... what had happened then.
Oh right, he remembered.
Two years ago, Mr. Wellington had been hospitalized due to a minor heart condition.
