Why did I give birth to someone like you!”

Just as Mom was about to grab me, Shaum stepped forward, placing himself in between us. As he stood in front of Morn with his tall frame, she felt intimidated and didn’t dare to move.
“Mrs. Quill, Emi and I are just classmates. Please don’t insult your own daughter like this! If she’s a shameless cheater, what does that make you?”
He added, “And did she say something wrong online? Aren’t you just like that? To be honest, I’m curious like everyone else. Why would you help an adopted daughter and harm your very own?”
Shaun really was curious like the other netizens, wanting to know Mom’s reasoning. He couldn’t understand how she could treat the daughter she carried in her womb for ten months this way
Mom instinctively snapped back, “I never helped Lianne harm her She’s the one who’s so wicked and…”
As she spoke, her voice gradually softened. It was as if she suddenly realized I had never actually done any of the horrible things she said.
At that moment, she didn’t know what to say.
There was a flicker of panic in her eyes. From the beginning of the incident until now, she had been focusing on finding ways to get Dad and Julianne out of detention.
She was just blaming me out of habit, for being so cold–hearted that I pressed charges against my own father and sister. And for refusing to drop the charges.
So, she had been anxiously searching for ways to save my dad and Julianne but to no avail.
Then, I made such a response online, instantly turning her into the most problematic mother in the world. Anger overtook her, and she wanted nothing more than to lash out at me.
She didn’t have time to process the fact that I had never done any of those things, but she realized it now.
Suddenly, she didn’t know what she should say or what she could say.
It was only after a moment that she responded. “No matter what, she shouldn’t have said those things about her own parents. She’s a terrible daughter for doing that to us!”
Mom’s words had disappointed me completely. I didn’t want to say another word to her.
I immediately called security, asking them to escort her out and never allow her in again.
I knew I was being too foolish. Although I had been disappointed again and again, I couldn’t help getting my hopes up. I wanted so badly for her to realize how unfair she had treated me and that she would apologize to me.
As Mom was escorted out by the security, she continued to curse and scream at me. It was so bad that Shaun couldn’t help but cover my ears to keep me from hearing the words.
In contrast to how he was so concerned and felt bad for me, I simply smiled and reassured him that it was fine. After being hurt so many times, it would eventually stop hurting.
After Shaun left, I received a photo sent by Irvin. It was a photo of him and his lawyer, working late into the nigh
