Charles did not owe me Sterling Enterprises.

I did not owe Gertrude lifelong unpaid nursing because she once accepted me into the family.

Penelope does not owe me happiness because I sacrificed.

I understand that now.

The same applies to betrayal.

Tristan does not owe me eternal suffering because he hurt me.

He owed legal accountability where laws were broken.
