Edward Harper realized what was happening and stepped forward to pull Brandon Knight away. Brandon was still shouting for Clara Knox to give Aria a break, to give her a chance to live in this world. He spoke about how a sister shouldn't be so heartless, disregarding the life and death of her younger sister.
Every word and sentence was moral blackmail.
To protect Aria, he had been ruthless enough to actually raise his hand against his other daughter.
Clara stood there, numb, watching as Edward pulled Brandon away. For a moment, she seemed to see decades into the future—her child being treated like this by Edward. The thought hurt her so much she could hardly breathe.
Brandon was still trying to cross over to Clara, but his body was restrained by Edward and couldn't move.
"Enough!"
Edward shouted loud enough to startle everyone present.
"I agree to the divorce. None of you are allowed to look for her anymore."
