Women, women..
Why ask if you must have help to orchestrate this conspiracy.
But I must give it to you wife you are such a good damn actress everyone else must be buying it but couldn't fool me.
You knew she never wanted to come with you in the first place but still you drag my sister here.
Claine intervenes.
All I did is follow what I was asked to to but if you badly want to leave be my guess so much for protecting someone who jas zero care for you and the people around her.
Paniel start to walk away but Claire stops him by standing in front of him blocking his way.
Why do you always concluding without letting the other party voice themselves?
Don't I get a say in this ?
No you dont, pack your things and get the heck out my place.

He tries to walk past her but she still stop him.
Well listen to this and I won't be repeating myself.
I will not leave because you asked but for the fact that. I loathe you right now more than I did before.
I am leaving on my own I really can't stand you, and probably that was the same reason your mother left you without even flinching.
Paniel face become pale, pain all over his face, a tear drops from his eyes but he wipe himself in a jiffy thank Claire for reminding him and finally walked away.
