Chapter 44

“She’s always flunked her tests. How could I affect her grades?” Gresham was infuriated.

“Do me a favor, Dad. Please stop being mad, okay? She’s been alone out there for a few days now. She must have had a hard time. Now that she’s finally back home, you’re going to hit her. What’s the public going to say about us?”

“I don’t mind. We’re family, and she’s my sister. I have to help her. It’s the right thing to do.”

Vera hugged Trina, her eyes filled with love. “My dear Trina… You’re so thoughtful that you break my heart.”
