Bab 609: Confession - 2

Raymond was struck dumb. He stood frozen like a statue, unable to say a word, not to talk of defending himself as his wife pushed all of the blame on him. He always knew that his wife was fickle and had no sense of royalty, but to think that his wife would betray him like this made him weak. 

Even Claudia could not stand it anymore and cried out, "Mom!" tears gleamed in her eyes. How could she throw her father under the bus like that? If there was anyone to blame, it was the both of them! 

Claudia had only pointed out Kenith's interest in Arianna when her mother came up with the brilliant idea of offering her to Big Joe and solving their money problems. Her poor father was innocent. 

"Would you close your mouth?!" Her mother shut her up, her eyes bloodshot while the tears continued to spill from her eyes, "Your father is the one at fault here. If he had been able to provide for his family, none of this would have happened." She claimed.
