"Still, it doesn't change the fact that you're trying to adopt a slave as your son! Have you completely lost your damn mind? Do you even realize what kind of disgrace this would bring? What would others think of this?" Velc shouted furiously, his voice shaking with anger. His name, his reputation, his entire family—already tarnished by that damn letter—and now this?
He wasn't going to let this slide!
Xara's expression darkened,
"Now you're worried about what others think?" She let out a bitter laugh before her face twisted in rage. "You, of all people, have the audacity to talk about disgrace when you and your wretched father stole a child's future right out of his hands? Both of you destroyed an innocent life without a second thought! And now, you stand before me, acting like you have the moral high ground?
You have some fucking nerve to say that to me, bastard!"
