Chapter 53

Upstairs, Robin closed the bedroom door behind him. Looking at Anita, he hesitated to say whatever was on his mind. But after decades of marriage, Anita could read him like a book. "Just spit it out." She was in no mood for guessing games. Only then did he finally speak carefully. "I think you went a little too far back there. No matter what, you shouldn't have hit Gianna." "Too far?" She exploded like a lit fuse. "If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have offended the richest family in the city. As part of the Newman family, she's done nothing but cause trouble for us. Give me a good reason why I shouldn't have hit her!" "But Gianna—" He wanted to defend Gianna, but she cut him off sharply with a glare. "That's enough! I've done everything for the good of this family, so don't sit there lecturing me as if you have no stake in this. Instead of criticizing me, you should think about what we should do next!" Anita snapped. The Parker family wasn't going to let this matter go easily.
