The more Clark thought about it, the more he panicked.
He decided to go find Marjorie to figure out a plan. Maybe he should just swallow his pride and apologize to his parents. At least then they wouldn't cut him off financially.
Lost in thought, he'd burst into Marjorie’s room without knocking.
The first thing he saw was Marjorie kissing a photograph.
Yes, kissing a photograph. Or more accurately, the person in it.
The look on her face, the gentle smile—it was the picture of a woman in love.
When Marjorie saw him barge in, her eyes widened in panic, which quickly turned to anger.
He reacted instantly. While she was flustered, he snatched the photo from her hand.
It was a large group photo from his school days.
Just as his suspicion began to fade, he spotted West in the picture.
In that instant, everything clicked into place.
Marjorie hadn't been kissing him. She’d been kissing West.
At the same time, he noticed an open notebook on her desk. Despite Marjorie's desperate attempts to stop him, he managed to grab it.
What he read inside shattered him.
Marjorie wanted to get back together with West.
She had compared the two of them, painting Clark as worthless while praising West as if he were a god.
They had a massive fight last night, and he had stormed out, spending the night at a friend's house.
