Hela continued, her voice growing more impassioned with each word. "Today, my in-law's place had their grand opening. I told you I couldn't make it, and you volunteered to go in my place. I actually thought you had finally matured, that becoming a mother had taught you some sense about social obligations."
"You even told me that you and Luis's wife were going shopping together in the afternoon. You said she was particularly fond of your daughter, that she wanted to have a daughter just as beautiful."
"You two got along so well, you told each other everything. I was genuinely overjoyed at the time, thinking how wonderful it was for relatives to be so close, that you finally had someone to talk to and keep you company."
Hela's voice escalated with emotion, and she nearly slammed the table as she said, "Chloe, how can you face yourself?!"
