Chapter 375

Turns out you were right. They made a fool out of us, and… Dad, please come. I just want to get out of here and fly off to Paris with you. Start a new life. Can we do that?"
• There's a minute of silence before he says, "Of course. Of course we can, Elise, I have some things I need to take care of here first, but I'll be on a flight back as soon as I can."
