“It’s my fault.
I’m the one who misjudged someone.
She trapped me without me even realizing it.
”
Ignoring Edwin, Bainbridge shot back, “You call this taking care of him, as Grandma instructed? You take his money and confine him, leaving him looking pitiful!”
“Edwin!” Frustrated, Bainbridge turned toward Edwin.
