"Crowley, I won't let you slander my daughter. Get this bitch out of my house right now. You're not welcome here."
Megan cried as if her breath was about to stop.
"Justina, please, give me back my necklace. I'll pay you whatever you want. It was my grandmother's keepsake..."
I thought, "Keepsake? This whole house is filled with keepsakes my parents left behind.
But Crowley didn't hesitate at all when he smashed through my parents' belongings."
"Megan, you're just too kind, too naive."
Crowley looked at me with disdain. "She was a woman who would kill her parents just to marry into a wealthy family. What kind of child could she raise?"
I was stunned by his words.
In the seven years of our marriage, I had given everything to Crowley.
And yet, this is what he thought of me.
"Crowley, what are you saying? I saved your life! After all these years, don't you know what kind of people Avalynn and I are? This bitch set me up, and you still refuse to believe me?"
Hearing me call Megan a bitch, Crowley slapped me hard across the face.
My cheeks soon swallowed, and blood seeped from the corners of my mouth.
