Laura scolded her.
Mom, dont blame me for this. Marina pouted Like a spoiled child.
Its all Marcos fault. If he hadnt cut off my finances and taken all my luxury items for Loraines sake, I wouldnt have resorted to spending part of your money.
Marina was fond of blaming anyone but herself whenever things turned bad.
Florence was utterly disgusted by her behavior. She had thought Marina was a good young lady, but she now realized that it was all a facade.
She gave up the idea of engaging her son with such a fraudulent woman.

Mom, my new friend is really something, isnt she?
Grady chipped in, his eyes glinting with admiration for Loraine.
Florence frowned when she saw the way her son looked at Loraine.
Although she didnt believe the bad things Laura and Marina said about
Loraine, that didnt change the fact that Loraine was Marcos ex-wife.
The last thing Florence wanted was for her son to be involved with a divorced woman. Worse still, the divorcee in question wasnt even from a reputable family. What was there to gain from such a union? No! She couldnt allow that to happen!
At the thought of this, Florence said to Loraine, Im grateful for your help. If you hadnt pointed it out, we wouldnt have known that the clock was fake. You know what? Our warehouse is filled with priceless antiques. You can go there to pick up whatever you Like. I dont Like being indebted to anyone.
Mom, how can you say such a thing? Grady uttered disappointedly.
Without being told, Loraine immediately knew why Florence was behaving this way. But she turned down the offer politely.
Thats very considerate of you, Mrs. Cruz. But, no, thanks. What I did was nothing. I just remembered that I have some urgent errands to run, so Ill take my Leave now. Bye!
Loraine was exhausted now. She didnt want to get into an altercation with Florence, so she turned around and made for the door in a hurry.
Grady caught up with her outside.
