"I did this entirely for the sake of their happiness. You were all hiding this from Clara Grant because you were afraid she'd divorce Seth after finding out. But have you ever considered that the longer you kept it a secret, the harder it would become to explain?
Besides, if you kept it a secret, you'd all have to carry that burden. Wouldn't that be exhausting? Especially for Seth. He has to face Clara Grant every moment, so he must have felt so unsettled. He didn't dare to say anything, and neither did you, so I had to be the one to bring it all out into the open.
Telling the truth sooner rather than later is a form of relief. Haven't you seen how, even though Seth is seriously injured, he seems so relaxed and happy now? And not only did Clara Grant not try to divorce him, but their relationship has actually gotten stronger. You can see all of this for yourself, ma'am."
