They couldn't deny her accusations either ‘cause she was right there when Achilles’ humiliation was sponsored by them.

“For eight years, Mum, you did the unthinkable, the unbelievable, the despicable!”

Gabrielle’s eyes turned redder as the past events flashed before her face. Her heart tugged with an uncontained displeasure.
