Her mistake was understandable; Beal had served the Moreno family his whole life.
They had always relied on him for any issue, and old habits die hard.
Her call changed the roomâs mood.
Kyson, silent until that moment, peered out at the intensifying rain and finally broke his silence.
âDad, Mom, Selina is still kneeling in the rain.
â
Gail and Brendan exchanged glances, their faces etched with complexity.
Gail exhaled a heavy sigh before reluctantly granting permission.
âKyson, let her come in.
â
Despite the betrayal they felt from her father, their affection for Selina, whom they had nurtured, persisted.
Selinaâs father may have made a mistake, yet their years of love for her remained genuine.
Kyson relayed Selinaââs stubborn stance, âMom, she refuses to enter.
Sheâs adamant about not coming in until you and Dad let go of your anger.
â
Gail was on the verge of responding when she turned to Brendan, seeking his input.
Brendanâs brow creased with a hint of disapproval.
âWe canât simply absolve Beal for his actions, but I refuse to bear a grudge against his daughter.
Her fatherâs wrongdoings arenât hers to bear.
â
This assurance lit up Kysonâs face.
âDad, I knew you and Mom would be fair.
Iâll go invite her in.
â
However, Brendanâs firm voice halted him.
âWait.
Even though she isnât to blame, she can no longer be a part of this family.
Kyson, itâs time for her to leave.
â
Kysonâs smile faded into confusion.
âDad, you just said Selina isnât at fault.
Why force her to leave us?â
Brendanâs voice was stern, grounded in his conviction.
âKyson, Beal deceitfully sent away your true sister, paving the way for his own daughter to bask in fortune.
Selina has reaped the benefits of our care for over two decades.
We owe her nothing more.
â
Lyndon joined the conversation with a hint of suspicion, âAnd we canât be certain of Selinaâs innocence in Rosalynnâs ordeal.
â
Brendan, intrigued, pressed for details, âWhat do you mean?â
