Hypocrisy Revealed

Chloe, though deeply dissatisfied with Ava's attitude, knew she needed her help. She put on a surprised expression and looked at Ava. "Ava, how can you say that? You share a bond of blood with Dad, and his concern for you has always been evident. Even though Mom isn't your biological mother, she never treated you harshly."
