“That’squiteenough. I don’t want to hear your explanations. Either way,you’ll always be biased toward Bonnie.”
Thecouplefeltan overwhelming senseofguilt. Meanwhile,Bonnie stood between her parents and Trina,saying,“That’s enough outofyou,Trina.I’vebeensilentbecauseyou’re theirbiologicaldaughter. I know I’ll onlyhurtthemif I scold you.
“However,you’vecrossed the line with your words. They maynothaveraisedyou,but they always sendyougifts every year and care aboutyouwhenever you’re sick. As yourself,what have you doneforthem?”
Welma wiped her tears and said,“That’s enough, Bonnie.”
“Fine,I’ll stop mentioning that. How about this? Youkeeptelling everyone that I’m someone’s mistress or sugar baby,yetyou’ve never witnessed such a thing. What does my sugar daddy look like? Do you even know who he is? How do you even know if he’s married?”
“I—”
“Consider what you say next, Trina. Did youseeanyofthat?” Bonnie asked sternly.
Trina grew anxious when she felt everyone’s intense gaze. She bit her lip and said, “Bonnie, you should know all thatbetterthan I do. Would you daretoswear that you aren’t someone’s mistress?”
“What a boring reply. If swearing worked, wouldyouswear you’ve seen me being a homewrecker or a mistress?” Bonnie retorted, causing Trina to panic.
“Trina, if I hear you spreading rumors about me again, I’ll take you to court for slander and defamation.”Bonnie then walked past Trina.
The latter struggled to suppress her emotions.Afterall,being repeatedly suppressed by Bonnie over the past few days had thrown Trina off her game.
Welma gently held Trina’s hand and said,“Bonnieisalready inaslump. Please stop troubling her. Hey, here’s your birthday gift. I knitted this sweater myself. School is starting soon, and it’ll get chilly. You can wear it then. I hope you don’t think my knitting is bad or anything.”
“Why would I think that? I love it!” Trina replied,“Mom,Dad, doyouwant to come in and sit for a

“Oh, I see. Well,Istill have some research to do.I’ll go back inside, then.”
“Your research is important. Focus on your studies,too.”
Trina could hardly keep up her act and quickly left.

“Ah,no!”Welmafacepalmed.“I forgotTrina’s engagement gift!”
Geraldurged,“Quick,tell Benny to take itinside.”
Welma removedajewelry box from her bag and handed it to Benedict, saying,“Hurry,catch up to
Trina.”
“Right! Sure thing, Mom!” Benedict took theboxand ran inside.
Bonnie didnothave muchtocarrywhen she collected her things. She only took her notebook and her favorite clothesbeforegoing downstairs. Immediately after, she saw Trina discarding something into
a trash bin.
“Disgusting. How dare they give me such a horrid–looking sweater. She expects me to wear that outside?”
Bonnie noticed the bag Trina had thrownawayand realized she had seen her mother carrying it just now. The former ran over and grabbed Trina’s collar,shouting, “You’ve gone too far,Trina! Take thatbagout of the trash bin now!”
