Jordan sneered, "That's just a lie I've been telling myself all these years.”
Jordan turned around and left in a desolate state.
Chloe fell to the ground, wailing her heart out.
"Argh, how did things turn out this way?!”
Grand Old Master Yorks looked at Chloe with a stabbing pain in his heart.
Spencer, Sandra, Judy, and Cole had gathered around. All of them were staring at her, unsmiling and without a word.
In the end, it was Cole who broke the stifling atmosphere.
"Aunt Chloe, there’s a philosophical saying that goes like this, 'your character determines your destiny.
Your tough life is determined by your character.' In a nutshell, you can only blame yourself for the things that have happened to you today.”
Chloe stared at Cole, finding it impossible to refute the things he said.
Sandra carefully spoke on Chloe’s behalf, "Cole, your aunt knows she was wrong. Stop adding insult to her injury.”
Cole looked at Sandra as a wicked sneer formed on his dashing face. "Alright, she knows she was wrong.
What about you? Do you know that you're in the wrong too?"
Sandra's face paled slightly. "I... I... I was wrong too."
