Chapter 7

I need to tell Lily that I'm not actually her mom.

These last three months should be enough for me to find her a new home.

Just as I was about to start visiting orphanages, Mist suddenly appeared in front of me.

She clung to my arm affectionately, as if we were best girlfriends.

She took me to a coffee shop, and as soon as we sat down, she immediately showed her true colors: "Vivienne, how are you feeling?"

I didn't understand what she meant.

"How does it feel to be attacked by internet trolls? Let me tell you, I'm the one who spread all those rumors. You should know, Zoran is mine. You have no right to be around him anymore, and don't even think he'll give you another chance."

"Even if you and Elias team up to reveal the truth, so what? No one will believe you. Don't think you can turn this around!"

Her words were like knives - cold, sharp, and merciless.
