Yvonne thought her words would make Rowena grateful, finally realizing that only she truly cared about her and wanted the best for
Yvonne expected Rowena to just listen and do whatever she said, no questions asked.
But what Yvonne didn’t know was that Rowena was already completely disappointed in her. She was starting to think maybe they just weren’t meant to live together anymore.
“Mom, I’m not going home with you tonight. I’m going to get my own place and live by myself, Rowena said, her tone calm but resolute.
When Yvonne heard this, she was stunned for a couple of seconds, staring at Rowena in disbelief. “What did you just say?”
“Rent her own place? On her own? Yvonne couldn’t believe it as she wondered.
But Rowena just looked at her, eyes steady and full of determination, her voice tinged with helplessness. “Mom, are you really trying to push me to the edge?”
The confrontation left Yvonne momentarily stunned, unable to react.
“What are you talking about, sweetheart? I don’t understand. You need to tell me clearly what’s going on. If there’s something wrong, we should talk it through, don’t you think?” Yvonne said, trying to keep her voice calm
Rowena just let out a cold laugh. “How many times have I tried to talk to you? Has it ever changed anything?
“Mom, what else do you want from me? I’m not your puppet, I’m a living, breathing person. Mom, I’m begging you. Just let me live my own life
Yvonne stood there in a dare for a few seconds before snapping back, her expression full of displeasure. “Rowena, I’m your mother.
“Is this really how you see me? Who do you think I’m doing all this for? For myself? Answer me. Isn’t everything I do for you?”
Rowena shot back, her voice shaking with anger. “Isn’t it all for yourself? I’m just your designer bag, aren’t I? Something you carry around to show off in front of others.
“Ever since I was a kid, I’ve done everything you wanted, followed every plan you made for me–even how much I eat every day, I have to look at your face first.
This time, I just wanted to do something I like, but why? Why did you have to interfere and ruin it? Why
Yvonne never expected that Rowena actually snap at her like that. The outburst was so loud that people nearby started turning to look.
Yvonne cared more about saving face than anything. She grabbed Rowena’s arm, trying to drag her away. Don’t embarrass me here.”
But Rowena yanked her hand free, her eyes cold and empty, like she was looking at a total stranger. That look cut Yvonne to the core.
All these years, Yvonne’d gone through so much, put up!
p with everything, all for Rowena,
Why just couldn’t she get it? Yvonne thought, completely at a loss.
“Rowena, who put you up to this? she demanded, her voice trembling.
“No one put me up to this, Mom. You’re the one who pushed me to this point. Mom, just let me go, and I’ll let you go too.
“Please, stop forcing me. If you keep this up, we might as well just cut all ties and be strangers from now on. Rowena said, her voice deady and determined
Those words left Yvonne completely raided. Panic rising, she hurried to grab Rowena’s hand.
But Rowena didn’t even look back. She shook off her mother’s hand and bolted out the door,

Vivian looked at the drunken Nathan in front of her and realized she had no choice but to take him home.
Nathan clung to Vivian’s arm, slurring, Vivian, I scored big tonight. That dumb rich kid–totally clueless–asked me to keep him company.
“I barely had half a drink and he was already out cold. Made a cool 300 thousand dollars, and honestly, I even gave him a discount since we’re sort of friends.”
Vivian raised an eyebrow. “Seriously, have you ever thought about starting your business to make money!”
Nathan waved his hand dismissively. “No wa
way. I’ve already got plenty of investments and businesses. Why bust my ass when I don’t have to? The best part is, this gig is a guaranteed win—can’t lose, right?”
