“And who do you suppose you are to judge me?” she snapped. “Do you want me to expose your transgressions? Not only did you push Rhea into the lake, you've also been flirting with other men.”
She paused before continuing, “Do you forget the luck you had marrying into the
Thomas family? To me, you're nothing but an immoral woman. You’re undeserving of my son. Your lack of a mother’s guidance has made you vulgar.”
