Tears burned painfully behind Cyndi's eyes. She hated herself at that moment. She hated how powerless she felt at that moment, and she hated that bitch.
She hated that she had been manipulated like this, and not only had she been manipulated, but that woman had also succeeded in making her life hell. First with the internet, then Alex, and now even her family. Cyndi could not wait to cross paths with that wench again.
She was more than ready to return this suffering to her tenfold. But for now, it was better to calm Arnold down…otherwise…she dared not imagine what he would do.
"Dad," she began carefully. "I will fix this," she said desperately. "Father, please believe me. I will find a way to make things right somehow."
Arnold stared at her coldly as though he had just heard the most ridiculous thing imaginable. "You?" he asked mockingly. "You think you can fix this?"
Cyndi immediately nodded. "Yes… I will find a way."
