They were all just going about their day at work. Ivy did nothing but taking a look after knowing that her mother was there.
But who could've guessed that she’d be smacked around by a thermos?
Did her mother really think she could evade the law just by claiming maternal rights?
That was not how things worked.
As Tessa was hauled off to the police station, she fought every step of the way, "You can't arrest me! I'm her mother. I was just disciplining my daughter. What law did I break, hum?"
One of the female officers was clearly irritated, "It's because of mothers like you that there are so many unlucky kids out there. You think you can just smack your daughter around with a thermos? You were trying to hurt her, maybe worse. You're a murderer, so stop flattering yourself."
This was a new level of harshness for the officers. They'd seen their share of family disputes, but nothing like this. If they were shocked, Ivy must be devastated.
Clara, who had asked Tessa to handle a certain matter, was blindsided when instead of results, she got a call about her mother causing a scene at the police station. She looked all annoyed when she took the phone on the set.
"Who did you say? Tessa? She's not my mother, so stop calling me. Yeah, you've got the wrong number; her daughter's Ivy. Yes, I'm busy here. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."
With the director shooting her impatient looks, Clara promptly ended the call.
The officer brought her phone close to Tessa's ear, "See? It's not that I didn't say. She just doesn't want to come. Isn't her attitude clear enough?"
Tessa slumped into the chair, crushed. She had devoted years to this family but it was in vain. She was even neglecting her own daughter for Clara, and she believed that even the coldest of hearts could be warmed by her efforts. But reality had slapped her hard. Was all the respect and affection Clara showed her just a facade?
If Clara truly cared, why wouldn't she even show up at the station?
Tessa was in agony and completely lost.
Her own flesh and blood was in the hospital because of her, and Clara, whom she had poured all her love and attention into, couldn't even spare her a glance.
