Chapter 517

• "Samantha, your words cut deep, but they ring true," Felicity began, her voice strained with emotion. "For years, I've stood by your side, a silent observer in the shadows of your lives. Yet, what have I received in return? Nothing but empty promises and hollow gestures. You tell me to return to the Lenoir family, as if I am some burden you wish to be rid of, but have you ever considered what I've sacrificed for the Quillen name?"
• Her gaze hardened as she addressed Sophie and Hannah, who eagerly echoed Samantha's sentiments. "And you two, quick to chime in with your judgments. But have you ever stopped to think about the years of neglect and disregard I've endured from your family? It's easy to cast blame when it's convenient, isn't it?"

What about the promises of support and solidarity that never materialized? You've left me with nothing, not even a share of the inheritance I'm entitled to. And now, when you find yourselves in need, you come crawling back, expecting me to bail you out?"
