Anabelle Martin watched Edward Anderson and Bella Scott walk away, and she took Elyssa Scott and left Edward Anderson's house.
Once in the car, she looked at Elyssa and said, "You should learn something from her. When it comes to seducing men, you're not even one-third as good as her."
Elyssa felt wronged: "How can you blame me for this? Mom, I'm a victim too. Could you please not ridicule me by comparing me to her?"
"I'm not ridiculing you. Both you and Kallie are the fruits of my hard work in raising you. I put so much effort into you both. Kallie suddenly went abroad, and you wouldn't listen and insisted on marrying Charles. Even now, we don't know what kind of background Charles has..."
Elyssa interrupted Anabelle Martin unhappily: "What kind of background could Charles possibly have? He's doing very well in the company now. At most, after we're married, let dad help him out a bit, and everyone will be happy, right?"
