"I kept you away so you could focus entirely on your studies! And what did you do? Your grades are a complete disaster! Do you even have the nerve to show your face around me?" Lucille screamed at Sabrina.
As she yelled, she raised her hand to pinch Sabrina yet again.
This time, Sabrina reacted quickly, darting smoothly behind me to hide. "I only failed one class! I can just retake it next year. You can't disown your daughter over one single failed class, can you?"
"You hit the nail right on the head. I really don't want to claim you as my daughter! We spent so much effort sending you abroad to study, and this is the absolute mess you make of it? You have the audacity to come running back?" Lucille was fuming.
Her face flushed crimson as she pointed at the door, her voice rising to a shrill pitch. "Get the hell back there! Pack your things and leave this instant, and don't you ever come back!"
Lucille's demand didn't just shock Sabrina; it caught me completely off guard as well.
It was already New Year's Day.
There wasn't much time left until the actual New Year.
College students were on break, and various industries were shutting down for the holidays.
Yet at a time like this, Lucille was demanding that Sabrina get the hell back to Sydney.
Was she genuinely refusing to even let her spend the holidays at home?
"Mom, how could you be so cruel? You're not even letting me stay for the New Year? Am I even your real daughter anymore? How could you treat me like this?" Sabrina was utterly stunned. A layer of sheer shock and disbelief filled her large eyes, and her voice began to tremble.
Lucille maintained her stony expression, barking coldly, "That's right, I'm not letting you stay for the holidays. Hurry up, pack your things, and get out."
With that, she lunged forward to grab Sabrina, violently dragging her toward the exit. "Are you staying at Jada's place right now? Let's go. I'll go with you, help you pack your bags, and personally escort you to the airport for the earliest flight."
"You're kicking me out right now? At... at least let me go home and stay for a couple of days! Mom, am I still a member of the Hayes family? Why are you being so heartless?" Sabrina grew even more bewildered.

Story is fine but...Oh god! Such a slow and dragging story. She is always fainting or confused. Has no backbone, very irritating story. Better to avoid...
