Chapter 73: Memory Ends
Chloe, hearing the man in front of her—her own father—call her mother a failure, felt something inside her snap. It was as if all the restraint she had been holding onto broke free.

Anderes, watching the scene unfold as if in slow motion, was momentarily shocked. He hadn't expected this kind of wild behavior from Carmelia's daughter—his daughter. For her to throw a knife at him so suddenly, so recklessly—it was something he hadn't anticipated.
