Chapter 55

• "I swear. I won't let you near Haisley. I swear that you will regret treating her the way you have. And I swear. When someday your muddled mind clears, and you desire Haisley for yourself, I will be the first one to stand in your way," she declared vehemently.
• "You'll beg, not to me, but to Haisley. And before you do that, I will never let you have her. Remember that!" threatened Mrs. Monica, casting a cynical glance at Loretta and Mr. Samuel before storming back into her room and slamming the door shut.
• Mr. Samuel looked at his son, as did Loretta. The girl trembled in fear, witnessing Mrs. Monica's outburst, although she didn't comprehend all of her words.
