Chapter 217 Benjamin chimed in with a half-smile, “You better start looking. Time is running out.”
How provoking!
Jamie had no evidence in his hand and no lawyers to support him.
“Just you wait, Catelyn! I won’t give up just like that!” he snapped bitterly, so enraged that his face turned

She could not just say that she had nothing to do with him anymore.
