She turned to Be, her eyes filled with disappointment and usation.


    “Are you actually ming me? Could you stand idly by while your daughter was almost r@ped?”


    Be closed her eyes, inhaling deeply before responding with measured calm.


    “Don’t you know why Leo did that? Elizabeth, are you still refusing to face the reality? When we return to Dorburn, you’re going to be grounded for three months.


    I hope you use this time to contemte your actions.


    ”


    Elizabeth clenched her teeth, locked eyes with Be, and growled, “You can’t simply do this to me! Even if you lock me at home, I’ll find a way to Seamarsh.


    ”


    “What so important here that you can’t part with it? Be barked, her frustration boiling over.


    “Have you no regard for your own reputation? What do you aim to achieve with this theatrics?”

    Elizabeth was speaking of Matthew.


    Unable to contain herself, Be eximed, “You’ve lost your senses!


    He’s a married man!”


    “I don’t care! I must have him.


    If he slips away, I’ll steal…”

    Be’s handnded sharply on Elizabeth’s cheek, halting her words.


    She couldn’t bear to listen to such delusional words from her own flesh and blood.


    The sting in her palm reverberated as the force of the p struck Elizabeth squarely.


    The shock and hurt in Elizabeth’s eyes were undeniable, a stark contrast to the love and gentleness Be had always shown her.


    Her mother had neverid a hand on her.


    Tears streamed down Elizabeth’s face, a mix of betrayal and sorrow evident.


    “You know nothing of my struggles in Dorburn.


    I want out of this family more than anything!”


    Be’s gaze froze as she looked at her daughter.

    At this, Be was engulfed by a profound sense of loss.


    The daughter she adored for most of her life now sought to distance herself, pushing her away.


    After a moment of reflection, Be chose a softer approach.


    “You are my daughter, whom I deeply cherish.


    I’ve even sought forgiveness from Luther and Ste on your behalf.


    If youe back to Dorburn with me, we can move past this and find happiness again.


    ”


    Yet, Elizabeth’s anger only intensified.


    “Who gave you the right to apologize to Ste on my behalf? I’ve done nothing wrong! Do you know how much I wanted to kill her? How dare you apologize?”


    Be’s suppressed anger resurfaced upon witnessing Elizabeth’s attitude.
