George accused Angeline furiously. "You did nothing to save your sister, Angeline Severe, despite knowing full well that she was locked away by Jack Ares at the Ares' house."

Angeline spared Sera a glance. The other looked weak while her complexion appeared pale. Her physique also appeared frail enough that a strong wind might just blow her away.
