Chapter 83

• Andrea
• I feel guilty about everything that is happening. I should have spoken up before things got out of control. If only I had mentioned my suspicions to Richard, but I chose to stay silent and investigate on my own. Now Mrs. Angela is suffering too. Since she found her family, she has not been able to enjoy them as she deserves after so many years apart. It is unfair that she has to go through this again, not knowing if she will be alone once more, because I am sure Richard will not be able to handle anything happening to Claudia.
• I am physically and mentally exhausted. It's not just this whole situation, but also everything that came with closing the law firm. Luckily, Mrs. Angela decided to relocate the employees to different areas of her company, although it was very difficult since most of them are lawyers. Fortunately, some preferred to take their money and look for new opportunities in other firms. Needless to say, the compensation was quite generous. Richard knew what it meant to leave the people who worked for him without a job, so he made sure they were taken care of. However, the stress of it all has taken a toll on me. I can't help but feel responsible for everything that has happened. If only I had spoken up sooner, maybe things would have turned out differently. But now, all I can do is hope that Mrs. Angela and her family will be okay.
