Chapter 22

• "You selfish child! We accept you despite your differences! But what exactly do we get from you? You've paid us back by murdering our child."
• Elizabeth took her place among the vampires. "Esmeralda treated you like her sister!"
• Scarlet clenched her fist and fixed her gaze on Lady Elizabeth. "—That night, Esmeralda came to see me in my room. Yes, we fought, but we decided to reconcile! I did not murder her! You must believe me!" Scarlet reasoned, despite the fact that she knew they wouldn't believe her.
