“Yvette Larson, get out! I don’t want to see you. My life is so tough! Why did I have to give birth to a daughter like you? You really disgust me! You’re as disgusting as Finn Taylor. How could you help an outsider scold your own mother? Think about it. Without him, you could’ve met a better husband and never gotten divorced. You’re a perfect woman. You became the CEO of the Larson Corporation and the head of the Larson family. But now, you’re a divorcée! But even that doesn’t mean much! You’re a heartless daughter who abandoned her own mother!”

“Don’t they say that mothers mean the world to their children? Don’t you have a mother, a mother who loves you very much? But why are you scolding your own mother? Have I really done something wrong? Everything I did was for the sake of the family and you. Do you think this money is all for me? Look, I didn’t even touch any of that money in the bank account. All that money is under your name, and I didn’t touch a cent of it. How could you say that I did this for money? If that was the case, why would I have handed the card over to you?”

“Wasn’t the card in my hands to begin with? You wouldn’t even have known about it if I didn’t tell you about it. It had nothing to do with you. I was generous and selfless and decided to give it to you. But now, you’re saying that I love money, and you’re even saying that I’m crazy and should die? I’ll gladly receive my punishment if I really did something wrong, but what have I done wrong? Let’s talk about your divorce first. It was only a suggestion. Do you mean I’m to be blamed for you guys getting a divorce when I was just suggesting it?”

“If you two really loved each other, you wouldn’t have gotten a divorce just because I mentioned it. But you did, so that means that you two weren’t actually in love. Even if you loved him, he might not feel the same way. Why would he have proposed a divorce otherwise? I’m sure you know that people get fake divorces, which eventually turn into real ones. I can’t imagine why couples in love would get divorced.”

“We’re all adults, and we know that self-interests are all that matter. People only do what’s beneficial to them. Tell me—did Finn Taylor really divorce you because he loves you and was thinking about you? Perhaps you might’ve believed his words as a 17-year-old. Even I may have believed it, but we’re both adults. We know that self-interests are the only thing that matters. You’re lying to yourself if you really think that he divorced you out of true love. Don’t look at me like that, Finn Taylor. I’m telling the truth, and I’m just voicing your thoughts. Are you very shocked that I managed to read your mind, or are you sad that you won’t be able to lie to Yvette now that I’ve exposed your lies?”

“How interesting. A complete stranger has been lying to you, even up till the point of divorce. Yet, you refuse to believe your mom, who has placed all her hope and love on you. You’re even scolding her now! If I was really selfish, I wouldn’t have handed that card to you. You better reflect on your own actions. Who are you going to choose between Finn Taylor and me?”

If there was anyone who had the most warped worldviews, it was probably Linda James.

Yvette Larson couldn’t imagine how her mother had managed to say such things. ‘Why Finn chose to leave me? It’s because the Taylor family from South-East Asia is too powerful, and he might die. Our family might be implicated too. How could she be fooled by Melanie Taylor?’

“Mom, you’ve changed so much that I don’t even know you anymore. I remember you saying that it didn’t matter if Dad wasn’t that successful as long as our family was happy and loving. But why have you changed?”

“Yvette, don’t joke around. Will love keep us fed? If not for me holding the fort down, our family would’ve broken apart a long time ago! True love is what your dad and I have. We have gotten into fights, but have we ever gotten a divorce? No, we’ve never even mentioned it. On the other hand, you guys say that you love each other but ended up divorced! So is that what true love is supposed to be? How amazing!”

“Mom, can you stop talking about the divorce?”

“What, you can’t stand me talking about it? But everyone sees you as a divorcée now. They might not talk to you about it, but that’s what they gossip about behind your back. You might not like it, but it’s the truth—one that cannot be changed. Do you know why your reputation is so bad now? Isn’t it all because you’re a divorcée? And think about the cause of all this—it’s Finn Taylor! He was the one who handed you those divorce papers.”

“Besides, why did you guys even get divorced? Wasn’t it because you caught him cheating? Although he said that it was just an act, who knows if he was telling the truth? People tell lies all the time, and I hope that you can see for yourself that there are only two people who will ever truly be sincere to you—your dad and mom.”
