Bye-bye Trash! Hello Queen! novel Chapter 861

Evelyncould only watch as the car drove away, feeling utterly helpless.

Her mother didn't want her anymore. This time, she really didn't want her.

How had her mother found out about what she'd said?

"Natalie, does my mom really not want me anymore?" she asked, her voice cracking with sobs, but her eyes were fixed on Natalie, full of desperate hope.

Natalie saw her misery, her fear, and her fragile hope as she sobbed uncontrollably. "Miss Carrington, isn't this what you wanted? Didn't you always want Sophia to be your mother? You've gotten your wish now, so why are you crying?"

"But… but it's not the same! I just thought she was nice to me, but my mom is still my mom!"

"Then why didn't you remember she was your mother yesterday when you were wishing she was dead? Evelyn, when you cross certain lines, there's a heavy price to pay."

Natalie stared directly at her.

Evelyn didn't know how to answer. She closed her eyes and tried to explain through her tears, "I… I was just trying to save face! I said those things, but I didn't know Mom would hear me."

Natalie gazed out at the snow-covered world, her eyes distant. "Evelyn, you were walking on a brightly lit path, but you insisted on veering into the darkness. Some people struggle their entire lives to escape the dark, just to find a single ray of light to call their own."

"And you, standing in the sunlight, didn't know how to cherish it. When you had it, you didn't value it. You resented everything your mother did for you. In your eyes, she had no value; all your values were tied to Sophia. At your age, you know the difference between right and wrong. You just didn't like being disciplined. Your mother's concern made you feel secure, yet you rebelled against it. Sophia's tolerance and indulgence felt like a new, safe harbor."

"You've trapped yourself in an endless riddle, tormenting yourself. You made your choice. Don't regret it now."

With that, Natalie turned and walked away, her cool figure leaving a long trail of footprints in the snow.

Evelyn stood alone in the snow, crying her heart out.

"Mom, I was wrong! Mom…" Evelyn screamed in the direction her mother's car had gone, but only the cold wind answered her.

Back in the car, Luna handed Natalie a cup of coffee. "Boss, have some of this to take the chill off."
