I let out a cold laugh. "That's right."

She immediately shrieked, "No! No… That's not possible! You were waiting tables at that bistro, so it can't be… It makes no sense…"

    When the crowd refused to side with Winston, he abandoned his last shred of dignity and whipped out his phone to show his photo gallery to the passersby.It was filled with explicit, degrading photos of him and Mom taken all over the house."Take a good look! This is exactly who Alera's mom is! She's worse than an animal!"As the saying goes, 'Like mother, like daughter.' I bet Alera became a CEO by sleeping with—"Before he could finish, a military knife plunged into his stomach. Blood dripped from the knife onto the pavement as he collapsed to his knees in agony.His eyes were wide with disbelief as he stared up at Mom and murmured, "Babe, you—"She drove the knife into his stomach again and screamed at the top of her lungs, "Don't you dare call me babe! You make me sick!"With that, she completely lost her mind and drove her knife into Winston's abdomen dozens of times in a manic frenzy. She didn't stop until he collapsed onto the floor and went completely still.Someone in

"Take a close look at what's written there, Ms. Baldwin."As her eyes scanned the text, the shock on her face slowly turned into a deathly paleness. She began murmuring under her breath, "Alera AI Technologies… CEO… Alera Welch…"M-My daughter… My daughter is the CEO of a company…"I turned to Elliot and said, "Let's go."We had barely walked away when Mom rushed forward and dropped to her knees right in front of me again. Tears streamed down her face."Alera… I-I'm so sorry for all these years. I have nothing now, so could you please take me in?"I calmly

    When I heard Mom call my name, I instinctively scrambled into Elliot's car and urged him, "Hurry up! Start the car!"Elliot didn't ask any questions. He immediately headed toward the driver's seat, but Mom was faster. She sprinted over and violently yanked me out of my seat."Your biological mother called for you, yet you were trying to run away!"At her words, Elliot shot me a quick, slightly surprised look. But he immediately recovered his composure and said, "Go ahead and sort things out with your mom first. I'll wait for you in the car."With that, he slid into the driver's seat."Is that your boyfriend? He looks incredibly refined, and he must be loaded, right?" Mom pressed, and her eyes were glued to Elliot through the car window.I pulled her aside and coldly said, "You told me to rot in that godforsaken town, right? Why did you call out to me, then?"And didn't you buy a luxury apartment in Parlentown? What are you doing here in Jarfield?"Instead of answering, Mom loop

    Ms. Jefferson's gift turned out to be a shopping trip to buy me clothes. She dragged me to the mall and picked out several outfits for every season.I tried to turn down the gesture the whole time, but she "threatened" me with, "If you keep treating me like a stranger, we're not staying in touch again!"I had no choice but to accept her kindness.When we left the mall, both my hands were full of large shopping bags.A satisfied smile curled up at the corner of her lips as she said, "There. Now you won't have to worry about clothes for the next four years."Tears welled up in my eyes, and my throat felt as if it were blocked by a lump of words. For a time, I couldn't even find the words to thank her.Later, Ms. Jefferson had to leave first since her daughter had a dance class that afternoon.

Don't worry," I said with a nod.But when I walked over to the table, I noticed that the "gentleman" Samantha had been talking about was Winston. Mom sat next to him, meticulously adjusting his tie.Winston noticed me first, and a sleek, greasy smile instantly spread across his face. "Well, if it isn't Alera! Shouldn't you be taking the SAT? Why are you working here instead?"Mom looked over when she heard that. A trace of genuine shock flashed across her face as she looked me up and down and asked, "What are you doing here, waiting tables? Did you drop out of school?"Deep down, I let out a cold laugh. I kept my face completely exp
