“What nonsense are you spouting?” Shandie rebutted with a frown, “Just because you are cruel and abandoned your own daughter, it doesn’t mean everyone in the world is the same as you. Move aside! I’m leaving.” Just as she spoke, Shandie nudged Cindy aside and strode to the waiting car. “Shannie! Don’t go!” Cindy wanted to stop her still but was met with the sound of Shandie slamming the car door shut. “Drive!” Shandie ordered the driver, leaving Cindy, who was desperately chasing them, in the dust. Looking at Cindy’s distant silhouette, Shandie let out a mocking smile.
It is now Cindy’s turn to wait indefinitely in the monastery. For being a heartless mom, she should have a taste of what despair feels like. By the time the car was out of sight, Cindy frantically made a call. However, just before she could press the call button, her phone was snatched away from her. Lifting her gaze, her expression drastically changed. It was Louisa. “Louisa, what are you doing?” Cindy asked while trying to remain calm. Louisa replied with an indifferent expression. “I was wondering how you can have food being discreetly delivered to you every day.
Now, I finally know how. I am taking your phone!” “No! Louisa! Let me make a call, I have something urgent…” Ignoring her, Louisa turned and left. When Cindy pursued her, two young men stopped her. “Mrs. Southall, please go back.” “No, my phone! I need my phone back!” Cindy’s scream thundered across the sky. However, the only response she got was the sound of birds fluttering out from the forest. Meanwhile, after driving for half an hour, Shandie realized that the route they were taking didn’t look familiar. Can it be that Cindy is right about someone trying to harm me?
Cringing anxiously, Shandie asked, “Where are we going? This isn’t the way home?” The driver replied with a smile, “Ms. Shannie, Mr. Southall has instructed me to take you to Yvette’s birthday party first before sending you home.” “Yvette’s birthday party…” Shandie mumbled as her fears were eased. I see. Yvette must have said something favorable on my behalf. That’s why Dad has allowed me to come home.
When I see her later, I must thank her properly. The next moment, Shandie ordered the driver to stop the car. “I can’t go dressed like this, I need to change into a gown.” “Don’t worry, Ms. Yvette has prepared them for you. The gown is on your right. Why don’t you take a look.” Only then did Shandie notice the luxurious gift box beside her.
When she opened it, a black gown made of expensive-looking fabric was nestled inside. Shandie’s eyes lit up the moment she saw it. What a gorgeous gown! Hugging the gown fondly, she couldn’t stop running her fingers over its fabric. She didn’t expect Yvette to treat her so well on such an important occasion despite being nasty to her all the time.
