Chapter Ninety

Third Person POV.

Bianca stood amid the aftermath, her gaze sweeping over the scattered mess in the dining area. She eyed the untouched food on the table, the remnants of a family dinner that had spiraled into chaos. Turning to face Elena, her expression a mix of disappointment and frustration, Bianca couldn’t hold back her words any longer.

“You really messed up this time, Elena, You went too far.” Her voice was tinged with a hint of exasperation, her eyes locking on Elena’s in a silent challenge. Elena simply shrugged, a nonchalant. expression gracing her features as she feigned ignorance.

“What did I do wrong?” Elena’s question cut through the tension, a hint of defiance in her tone as she met Bianca’s accusing gaze head–on.

Bianca gestured toward the chaos around them. “In case you didn’t realize, you went off like a mad woman back there, and you gave Richard even more reason to run from you for the rest of his life.”

Elena’s response was a dismissive scoff, her confidence unwavering as she brushed off Bianca’s concerns. “My relationship with Richard will be fine. And if he does decide to run, well, I won’t

Bianca shook her head in disbelief. “No offense, Elena, but you are not a sane person at all, and I don’t understand how someone who isn’t sane helps other mentally imbalanced people. It makes no

sense.”

Elena’s laughter cut through the tension. “Don’t be so silly, Bibi. You’re the one who invited me for this family dinner, and you knew exactly what you were getting into.” Her tone held a challenge–a subtle accusation hidden beneath her words.

“Don’t you dare put the blame on me.” Bianca shot back. “I invited you because I thought maybe, just maybe, you would finally try to fix things with Richard and help him see reasons to get help. That was what I asked of you.”
