It seemed Sabrina had already anticipated what Rita was going to say.

Sabrina's calm demeanor suggested she might already have been aware of her true identity.

Reflecting on Sabrina's expression, Rita considered that her hunch could be accurate.

When had Sabrina uncovered the truth?

Rita recalled the day when she met Sabrina in the hospital. At that time, Sabrina didn't seem to be aware of it.

Yet, after that incident in the hospital, Sabrina must have somehow found out she was her biological mother. However, given what happened that day, Sabrina felt aggrieved, leading to her intense anger and refusal to acknowledge her.

Rita smiled at the reasoning in her mind.

If Sabrina was upset about what happened in the hospital that day, it indicates she still cares about their relationship. As long as Rita took the initiative to get close to Sabrina, Sabrina would soften up in the end.

Meanwhile, Sabrina leaned against the back of the seat, staring blankly outside the car window.

Before seeing Rita at the hospital, Sabrina had already dismissed her mother's presence from her heart and mind many years ago.

She once tried to understand why Rita abandoned her when she was still a kid. Although giving birth to her, Sabrina knew Rita still had the right to pursue her own happiness if she didn't lead a happy life in her previous marriage.

However, Rita's sudden appearance went beyond what Sabrina had expected.

Sabrina knew a sophisticated woman like Rita wouldn't have sought her out if not for something from her.

In the evening, Rita attempted to reach out to Sabrina but received no response. Upon making another call, Rita realized Sabrina had blocked her.

Rita used the driver's phone to send a message to Sabrina, saying, “Sabrina, it's mom. I'm sorry for everything. I understand you hold a grudge against me for leaving you and ignoring you for so many years. But now I realize my mistake. I know you've been through a lot of pain, and I promise I won't leave you again. If you agree, I can take you back to the Fowler family. Blayze and his father will treat you like family."

Sabrina had anticipated that Rita wouldn't give up easily. So it came as no surprise when she received a message from Rita.

Rita continued to send Sabrina another message, saying, “If you don't want to go to Violetholt, I can buy you a house and a car in Mathias or give you some money.

I heard that you recently won first prize in a _ photography competition. I have some connections and can help you set up a photography studio to pursue your dream. I also heard that you've started acting. Horace has an entertainment company, and he can help you continue shooting if you're interested."

Sabrina sneered as she read these messages and promptly replied, "No, thanks. I've been alone for over twenty years. Having a mother or not doesn't make a difference to me now. I know there's no such thing as a free ride in life. I'm not that naive to be easily swayed by your promises. If you care about me, as you say you do, then don't disrupt my life again.”

Rita frowned at Sabrina's mocking words and started to write a reply.
