"Why would she?" He asked.
"Because Paige is becoming successful." I said and Charles looked back at me.
"That doesn't make sense." He said.
"It does if Charlotte believes Paige is taking her place." I said and his expression hardened.
"Nobody is taking anyone's place." He yelled.
"Then why are you so angry about Paige?" I asked but he didn't answer and I stepped closer.
"She has her own business. She's connected to the Iron Vipers. She's building a life." I said.
"She's becoming dangerous." He said.
"No. She's becoming independent." I said as I shook my head and Charles looked at me for several seconds.
"You've completely fallen for her story." He said as I felt my eyes burn.
"I met my daughter for coffee, and I saw a woman who was trying to make peace." I said and he laughed.
