Chapter 24: Revenge (3)
"No? You would miss this chance to bring them down? If only you could see how Penelope and her sisters walk like they own the town. You must act now, mother. Ruin them while the town speaks," said Warren.
"Enough, Warren," Noah said, stepping in to end all talk about revenge. "Your mother doesn’t want to face the town, and we shouldn’t force her."
"Ha," Warren laughed.
It was insufferable how he had to live with a mother who could not step foot out of their home. His mother wasn’t the only person in town who could not walk, and she wouldn’t be the last.
"I don’t have time for this," Warren said, storming out of the dining room.
"Warren!" Noah called after his son.
"Leave him," Kate said. "He will return when he calms down. Warren never misses dinner."
"I need to speak to him about all this talk of revenge. You don’t need to go up against the Collinses. Your life is peaceful," Noah said, hoping Kate continued to realise this.
"I hate the life that I have now. I want my old life back. The life when I could get dolled up, or my name would be on countless invitations. I was envied by everyone, but now look at me. I cannot walk, and my home is empty," Kate said, frustrated over the state of her life.
