In the end, the director is unable to remain calm and tells the truth.
Rory looks at the director in astonishment. She suddenly feels that the director in front of her has become so unfamiliar. Rory really can't understand why John and the director seem to have changed since they meet Miya. Why do they have such hostility towards Miya?
"Director, why are you treating her like this? It is not like your style of doing things. Don't you always be very kind? Why do you do such a thing? Besides, there's nothing wrong with her to work in our orphanage." Every word Rory has said now is very plausible. She helps Miya with a kind heart.
"Are you accusing me? Do you know that all I'm doing is for you? Do you have any sense of crisis? I'm helping you...." The director doesn't expect that she has put in so much effort to help Rory, but Rory accuses her instead. The director is really angry, but she blames Miya for all of those things.
'If it wasn't for Miya, how could Rory's attitude towards me be harsh?' Hence, the director hates Miya more.
Rory takes a few steps back. Her face is full of confusion. She shakes her head. "How dare you say you hurt others for my own good? Why? Do you think I will be hurt after she comes to the orphanage?"
Rory suddenly feels great sympathy for Miya. Miya clearly doesn't do anything, but why does she become everyone's enemy? And everyone is hostile to her.
The director can't stand Rory anymore, so she walks to Rory and shakes Rory's shoulder with both hands. The director hopes Rory get real. "Don't you understand what has happened until now? That woman tries to come here to snatch away John. If she comes into the orphanage, you will lose your John. She might hook up with John and they will leave together. If so, you will be the only one left. You are alone. Do you think you will be happy?"
"Director, I really think you're thinking too much. If John really likes me, no matter how many women are all over him, he won't be tempted by others. But if he belongs to someone else, it's impossible for me to stay with him...." Sometimes, she has to believe in fate.
Rory raises her head and looks out of the window. The rain is really getting heavier.
"Silly child, how can you say such stupid words? Happiness can be achieved by yourself. As long as John stays by your side, how can he leave you? Therefore, you must not let that woman have the chance to take advantage of you. I will not allow that woman to work in the orphanage for you." Every word the director says is very forceful, and it even carries a sense of coercion.
Rory feels very unpleasant for these words. Although it sounds like it's all for her sake on the surface, she always feels that everyone around her will feel very painful for it.
"Director, please accept her for me. Please allow her stay at the orphanage. It's too pathetic for her to be alone outside in the rain. Besides, she's already injured. If her wounds are soaked in the rain, it's like sprinkling salt on her wounds." Rory knows how painful Miya is now.
Rory is so excited that she kneels.
The director has never thought Rory will do something like this.
"How does that woman cheat you? Do you know that she's your love rival? She's here to steal your things. Don't you feel heartbroken? You should take revenge on her." The director is about to die from anger because of her disappointing daughter.
