Heartbroken, she returned home; only to be met by a frantic Elsie the moment she walked through the door

“Mom! Finally!” Elsie’s voice was shrill with panic. “All my bank accounts are frozen! I can’t use any of my cards!”

Melissa’s mind was still reeling from the blow of being cast out by her family, and she barely registered Elsie’s words
