391 Christopher’s sour mood

Christopher was in a foul mood, his exasperation and wrath evident. The walls of the study bore witness to his inner turmoil, his mind replaying Pamela's venomous remarks. He couldn't believe that Pamela had dared speak ill of his mother. Her words, referring to Gloria as a "pathetic mother," rang in his thoughts, fueling his rage.

Christopher couldn't believe that his aunt blamed his mother for Britney's actions. No one, not even Pamela herself, could have predicted Britney's true nature and her cunning ways that had deceived the family. Why was only Gloria to blame?

It was absurd.

His jaw clenched as he fought to contain his anger. He felt an overwhelming sense of protectiveness toward his mother. Gloria had always been there for her children, and holding her responsible for Britney's deceit was unfair.
