Rita lowered her head, sighing.
I didnt expect that Sierra is my brothers only child. I cant bear to see her go to jail. Horace, cant you manage to help her out this one last time? If she can get out, you can send her to any school you like, and Ill never

Is that what you think after I bailed you out? Horace asked, narrowing his gaze.
What?
Horace shook his head in disbelief.
Sabrina is your biological daughter, and yet you seem unconcerned about her well-being. Instead, youre trying to save a human trafficker! Rita, how have you changed so much? Why? Why have you become like this?
Horace looked at Rita as if she were a stranger, not the woman he once knew and loved.
When he first met Rita, she was resilient, determined, considerate, and, at the same time, tender and charming. These qualities captured his heart and made him fall in love with her.
Why had Rita changed so drastically? Even if she asserted she hated that abusive ex-husband who had passed away, Sabrina was her biological daughter and shouldnt be held responsible for the past.
Why was Rita so cold-blooded toward her own daughter?
You raised Sierra to become a human trafficker! Do you think your brother would be proud of what you have done? Ive decided. Nicol will go to boarding school! Stay away from him, Horace cautioned.
Horace didnt want Rita near Nicol anymore, fearing a negative influence.
Ritas heart skipped a beat as she pleaded, Horace, please. Nicol is still so young, and he has asthma. He needs me!
Hell be fine with the nanny around. Hes not a young child anymore.
Its time for him to learn to be independent.
Horace strode forward, saying, Were going back, and tomorrow we will apologize to the Blakely family. Dont even think about trying to post bail for Sierra. The case is serious, and the authorities are monitoring it closely.
Rita opened her mouth but didnt dare say more.
