Chapter 27 What Do You Mean, Gentlemen

• "Gentlemen, I would appreciate it if you leave my house and spare us the insults. Who knows who might be seeking retribution for the ones your daughter has caused," Lindsey declared firmly.
• "What do you mean, gentlemen? We raised you. You ungrateful wretch," Kathen retorted, arrogant and haughty.
• "What should I be grateful for? For the beatings I endured in that house that belonged to my mother? For being held captive because my so-called father could lose her? For the times I went to bed hungry as a child because I couldn't prepare my own food? For the humiliations you subjected me to whenever our paths crossed? Don't be ridiculous. After years of contempt and insults, do you really think I owe you anything?" Lindsey spoke with strength, trying to appear brave even though she was trembling with fear inside.
