"Mom, are we going to proceed as planned or not?" Julia asked her mother over dinner. "We've suffered so much ever since he sent you out of the country. He never ever once visited us. Don't tell me you are having second thoughts with all the plans we have prepared for a very long time."
Celestine looked at her daughter over the rim of her wine glass. What Julia said was true. They had suffered so much, and they planned for this revenge for a very long time. Now that Magnus was out of the picture, it would be easy to get rid of her father and nephew.

I guess you never listened to me out of disappointment to me as your father or probably your anger was so deep you didn't hear my words when I asked you to leave...] "What did he mean?" Celestine muttered without giving her daughter any answers. She was confused.
