Chapter: 1547
However, when Horace heard the news, he was enraged.
He rushed to Mathias overnight to bail Rita out.
Outside the police station, he couldn't contain his anger at Rita.
"No wonder Tyrone suddenly changed his attitude. It's because of Sierra! I really underestimated her! How could she engage in human trafficking? She's a disgrace to this family!
Sierra promised to apologize to Sabrina and change her ways. I thought she had turned over a new leaf. I was even considering sponsoring her education at a prestigious university abroad. But what a disappointment! What a vicious and narrow-minded woman. Is this how you raised her?"
Horace was livid. He felt so angered and disgusted that he didn't want to hear Sierra's name in his presence.
Horace never liked Sierra and had already broken ties with the Garrett family because of her. While he had shown leniency to Sierra in the past for Rita's sake, he was now adamant about her facing the consequences. Sierra's self-conceit and ruthlessness couldn't go unpunished. How could she abduct someone, and of all people, Sabrina?
Horace could imagine how Tyrone would treat him in the future! Had the situation not involved Tyrone, Horace wouldn't have been this furious.
Rita lowered her head, sighing.
"I didn't expect that... Sierra is my brother's only child. I can't bear to see her go to jail. Horace, can't 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 I'll never..."
Horace turned around and fixed Rita with a glare that could pierce through steel.
The intensity of Horace's gaze made Rita shiver, leaving her feeling unsettled and apprehensive.
"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, you're 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 shouldn't be held responsible for the past.
Why was Rita so cold-blooded toward her own daughter?
