Matthew coughed a few times, his voice gruff with a rasp. “Samuel, have you ever considered that she’s your daughter too? You knew what kind of woman Audrey was, yet you let her take Natalie to the Howard family. This mess is on you as a father, not Natalie’s fault.”
“My fault? Did you not see how Natalie used to bully Gracia when they were kids at home? Keeping her here would be unfair to Gracia and Lydia!”

“I’m sorry, but I prefer not to pick through leftovers in a trash heap,” Natalie replied coldly.
