"The Lancaster family has never mistreated you. We gave you the moon and the stars. We held you in the palm of our hands, spoiled you, and loved you. Every piece of clothing, every meal, every item you used was the absolute best."
"And how did you repay us?"
Catherine clutched her chest, her voice hoarse and trembling with fury. "Ever since Serena came home, you've been plotting behind our backs, targeting her, framing her!"
"We thought you were just a spoiled child struggling to accept the sudden change. Serena didn't want to make things difficult for us, so she was willing to give you a chance to change. I planned to teach you slowly."
"But I never imagined your heart was this venomous. Even now, you still harbor thoughts of hurting her... and not just Serena, you didn't even spare your own grandparents!"
"Do you have any idea how much they loved and spoiled you? They watched you grow up, and you still had the heart to do that?"
"You... you're an animal!"
"I never should have been soft-hearted. I never should have let you stay in this family!"
Catherine closed her eyes tightly, her body shaking like a leaf.
Isabella opened her mouth to explain. "I... I didn't... I was just so scared. Serena is so perfect, and I... I was terrified I couldn't compete with her. It was Agnes! She took advantage of my depression and instigated everything. That's why I... why I did those things..."
"You could never compete with Serena to begin with," Edward said coldly. "Without the Lancaster blood in your veins, you're rotten to the core. To save your own skin, you didn't even hesitate to throw the nanny who cared for you for over a decade under the bus."
He threw another stack of documents, hitting Isabella in the face. "Over the past few days, we investigated every single thing you did since Serena came back!"
Isabella choked back a sob, her face deathly pale as she stared in shock at the father who had doted on her for twenty years. "Dad..."
"Don't call me Dad," Edward spat in disgust. "Our family has no room for a heartless monster like you."
Her parents' words were like daggers, plunging viciously into her heart.
