Cannot Let Go...

Old Mr. Louise watched Cynthia's determined figure, well aware that her "soft-heartedness" was the greatest tolerance she had for the Louise family.

The Louises watched Cynthia leave unscathed, seething with silent anger, especially Mrs. Louise. The thought of being manipulated by Cynthia, ruining the Louise family's anniversary celebration, and damaging their reputation infuriated her.

A burning anger swirled in her chest, and rage finally overcame her remaining rationality. "Cynthia Shannon, stop right there!" She rushed forward, grabbing Cynthia's wrist. "You've stirred up such a mess; do you think you can just walk away?"

Before anyone could react, Cynthia skillfully grabbed Mrs. Louise's arm with a half-smile. "I am walking away. What can you do about it?"

"You!" Mrs. Louise was momentarily speechless, glaring at Cynthia with frustration in her eyes.

Cynthia sneered, forcefully shaking her off and leaving without looking back.
