What qualifications did Penny Kalafatis have to decide the destiny of the violin that Willie Novak had auctioned?
This question from Xaviera Evans silenced Penny Kalafatis immediately. Her lips moved, and she opened her mouth with a seemingly wronged look. "Xaviera, so many years have passed, why are you still so hostile toward me? I have always wanted to ask for your forgiveness. Knowing how much you like this violin, I thought to lend it to you. I had no malicious intention, yet you are doubtful of my intentions each time."
"When Willie took me away, I knew you hated me, but affection cannot be forced. I am not good enough for Willie. You also look down on my background, so you can't accept me being by Willie's side. I understand all this," she said.
