This is why she lied and tried to run away. You are treating her so badly. And Anne desperately tried to protect her. You must be easier on her. I already offered to try to help her work to make the money back up to you. But you won't accept that. If she is not given a chance to move forward after learning from her mistake, then what's the point?"
