Go ahead then, hit me, yell at me! Accusingof being an ungrateful wretch—did you ever really treatas your own daughter?” “If you truly consideredyour own, you would have gone all in to support my design stuinstead of makinggrovel for favors, only to be duped by scum like Finley!” Simone staggered backward, utterly taken aback by her outburst. Bennett rushed to steady Simone and lashed out at Carmella, “How dare you, Carmella! Haven't we treated you like our own daughter? Have you forgotten all the love and support we've given you over the years? For you, your mother even drove Estelle away!” “You raisedto compete with Sabina!” Carmella wiped away her tears, her eyes filled with disdain and coldness. “You never liked Estelle because you thought she was worthless, unable to bring glory to your name, only shin front of your big family! | know you too well!

Overwhelmed with rage, her heart raced, and darkness encroached on her vision until she fainted. “Simone!” “Simone!” Bennett cradled her and laid her on the plush carpet, yelling for the servants hiding in the corners, “Call 911, hurry!” Carmella, seeing Simone collapse, seized the opportunity to grab her purse and slip away.
