If it weren't for Rosalynn, her parents would still have been the couple admired and envied by everyone.

She would have still been the girl that people looked up to.

But Rosalynn destroyed all of it.

Deanna had never hated anyone as much.

She sniffed and wiped her tears, her eyes filling with contempt.

The divorce certificate was fake.

In order to placate their mother, she had convinced Brian to find someone and forge the document.

The entire thing only worked because of the timing. When Rosalynn called, it just so happened that the false certificate was ready.

Deanna jumped on the chance to send it to her.

She knew that Rosalynn was probably in grief at this very moment.

The thought gratified her. That woman's suffering was her greatest joy!

"Deanna." Selina's voice came from behind.

She walked up to Deanna, giving her a gentle pat in an attempt at comfort.

"Don't fixate on the bad. Your parents' divorce won't change their love for you."

Deanna answered her with a cold glare.

“I don't need to hear that from you, of all people. You talk like it wasn't your stupid suggestion in the first place that led my mother to use Karina as a warning against Rosalynn. Are you happy now that my family ended up Like this?"

At the scathing words, Selina's gaze evaded hers, but she still reached for Deanna's hand.

"You know it's not like that, Deanna. How can I rejoice when things have come to this? I never expected Rosalynn to send someone to investigate your father, and I had no idea that he was having an affair."

Her seemingly regretful words failed to mask her real intentions.

Selina was pinning the blame on Deanna's father for his betrayal; she was washing her hands clean.
