Gloria wasn't acting this time but was sincerely pouring out her grievances.
Everything just happened in just hours. She was anxious about the funds and the next second, she was being told that Xander wanted her.
She remembered how much she hated Xander at that moment for asking for something so absurd. How could a grown-up man want someone else's woman?
She remembered how dejected and helpless Simon was as he showed his vulnerable side. How manipulated she was because of his great acting. How she was influenced and like a puppet agreed to a divorce and even made it sound like it was her own thinking.
In just a few hours, she was forced to leave the place she had called home with strangers. And to act the part, she had to be cruel and cold. Back then, she didn't even know that all that was part of Simon and Sia's calculations.
By acting coldly like that, she made the clan members believe that she had ditched Simon for someone richer.
