"To George, she is one with us Hendersons. Even if you have a hundred different signed relationship termination agreements, we're not exempted from any responsibility," Harold huffed coldly.
"That wretched bitch! How unfortunate! How unlucky!" Diana shrieked angrily.
"If not for her, our home wouldn't be filled with misfortune. I should have known! I shouldn't have allowed her to leave the juvenile detention center."
"What's the use of the 'I should have known's now? You're the one who didn't teach her properly. It's too late for you to regret it now."
Harold was also very displeased with Yolanda, but his displeasure included a mixture of his complaints about Diana's lack of care for Yolanda.
"How could you pin this on me?" Diana defended herself with anguish.
"I've cared for that wretched Yolanda growing up the same way I cared for Yvonne. Yvonne turned out to be understanding and sophisticated. All the elite society women are so jealous of me having such a great daughter.
"Then there's Yolanda. So lazy, stupid, bad-tempered, and arrogant. There's nothing good about her at all!
"I really don't know who she took after. If she and Yvonne weren't twins, I really would suspect that all those years ago, we brought the wrong baby home from the hospital."
…
Just as Diana was grumbling incessantly about Yolanda, on the other end of the hung-up phone, Yvonne was sitting comfortably on the couch with a half-finished glass of champagne in her hand.
She was at a high-end apartment now in the central district with no classmates and no one celebrating their birthday.
