Is this Elenas new game ? Are you a scammer or someone she hired to mess with mel Ive said it before Constance wont affect her status . So what is she throwing a tantrum about this time ? Shes right there with you , isnt she ? Hand her the phone . Ill talk to her myself . Robin held back the anger boiling inside him , ready to explode the moment Elenas voice came through .

Larson has already left . If you dont believe me , just come to the Portler State Court and collect the divorce certificate yourself . Youll know then if Im lying .

Kane looked down and didnt speak for a moment . Then he snapped stubbornly , Of course ! Shes the person I hate most ! Its good shes gone ! She better not come back , ever . He ed the divorce certificate tightly . His young face seemed tense , yet there wasnt a trace of joy in his expression . Dad , you dont seem happy about divorcing Elena . Why ? Constance can take care of me just the same , Kane asked again . This time , Robin gave him an answer . Because she was right for the role . Constance … shes different . He had never once considered divorcing Elena . Nor had he ever truly considered marrying Constance . Constance is just a stand in for your mother . No matter what , she could never be my wife . If I married her , it would tarnish the feelings I had for Evangeline . Elena isnt like Evangeline . Theyre completely different . Shes just … herself . Kane didnt like that answer .
