Took her long enough.
My heart was aching as I stared at my mother in cold, brutal fury. Immediately, she learned that her beloved daughter had been arrested, so she ran to save her.
The entire party was staring, their eyes wide, sending a new, delicious scandal.
"Wasn't that Mrs. Mo's mother?"
"Looking back, she was never invited to the debut show."
"Are they no longer family?"
The whispers grew, and my heart only turned heavier. I sighed, but it couldn't ease the lump in my heart, which was restricting my airflow. I never invited them because I knew they never loved me as their daughter.
They just saw me as a tool for their own gains.
My father stepped forward before my trembling mother. "Not only were you not filial in inviting your own family to such an occasion, but you sent your own sister to jail! Don't you take us as your parents anymore!"
