"Huh! You have a peculiar way of disciplining your child, Helena. It seems to me like you're the one initiating abusive behavior towards Venice. I used to believe that you might not be the one causing harm to her, but based on what I've observed, it appears that you're the one starting to mistreat her, even though you're her mother," Victor expressed his disbelief with a cold stare directed at her.
"N-no, h-honey, you've got it all w-wrong. You just haven't witnessed everything, but..." Helena struggled to articulate her thoughts, attempting to defend herself to Victor.
She then shifted her gaze sharply at Venice, who was fearfully watching them.
In that moment, Helena contemplated redirecting all blame onto Venice, a desperate attempt to evade responsibility for her actions.
"B-but, V-Venice!, Right It's Venice.." she stammered, pointing accusatorily at Venice, unable to meet Victor's eyes directly.
