For a moment, Chloe was left speechless. She had already been consumed by regret for leaving Summer alone at the hospital to attend an important class that morning. Gideon's words only deepened her guilt, but they also ignited her fury.
"This man would never have targeted Summer if it weren't for you," she shot back. "For six years, he never went after her or our family. He didn't even know we existed. It was only because of you that Summer became his enemy."
She pointed an accusing finger at him. "You are the reason she was kidnapped. Just stay away from her. If you leave her alone, no one will hurt her."
"Watch your behavior," Gideon warned coldly. "I know how to discipline you."
"Oh, of course," Chloe scoffed sarcastically. "Threatening others is your specialty. You are so good at tormenting us. Look at Summer now. She has already lost everything. She doesn't even want to live anymore. And that's all because of you."
