Chapter 4 - Elena Tries To Gaslight Mark About Domestic Duties
“She needs discipline, Mark! A teenager in this day and age needs to learn responsibility and real-world chores!” Elena snapped.
“Responsibilities? She is fourteen years old, Elena, and her grades have dropped two full letter grades this semester,” Mark retorted sharply.
“Because she’s lazy and unmotivated, unlike my girls who are straight-A students!” Elena lied smoothly without blinking.
Mark let out a cold, humorless chuckle, stepping closer until he was standing right in her personal space.
“Your girls haven’t washed a single dish in this house since the day you moved your boxes in eighteen months ago.”
“Dad…” Chloe whispered softly from the corner, her voice trembling as she wiped a stray tear with her sleeve.

Mark immediately softened his expression toward his daughter, breaking his intense glare to look at her with deep paternal love.
“Go upstairs to your room and pack a small bag, sweetie. You’re not doing another minute of housework tonight,” Mark instructed gently.
