Chapter 696:

Through her sobs, Thea lamented, “Grandma, I’ve been friends with Forrest for so many years. Because of Elyse, I’ve lost that friendship, and now there’s no hope for peace between the two families. I can’t do what you asked of me!”

Felicia, leaning heavily on her cane, rose slowly, made her way to Thea, and gently patted her head to soothe her. “Don’t cry, dear. I know you’ve been wronged. Rest assured, I will stand up for you.”

Thea continued to sob. “But what about Pearce’s project? I could have helped him, but now… I can’t do anything for him anymore.”
