Chapter 6 - Claire Attempts To Gaslight Her Furious Husband Completely
“You are blowing everything out of proportion because some bitter old neighbor recorded a private family disagreement!” Claire yelled.
“Eighty thousand dollars missing and my daughter terrorized in the backyard is not a disagreement, Claire!” Daniel shouted back.
“I sacrificed my entire career to raise your motherless child while you worked late hours at your corporate firm!” she sobbed dramatically.
Her tears looked genuine, a masterclass in manipulation designed to make him feel guilty for questioning her motives.
For a fleeting second, Daniel felt the old doubt creep in, wondering if he was overreacting to family stress.
Then he looked down at Lily’s bruised wrist, remembering the sheer terror in his little girl’s voice under the tree.
“Save the theatrical tears for a courtroom judge, Claire, because your time in this house is officially over,” Daniel said flatly.
