Chapter 209 Leah was stuck in the past and unable to move on. Right now, she couldn't care less about what Lisa was saying. The disappointment and tangled emotions swirling inside her were almost too much to bear. Finally, Leah spun on her heel, hopped into her car, and told the driver to get going.
Lisa just stood there, her fingers clenched into tight fists. "Chloe, I'll never forgive you," she muttered under her breath.
Meanwhile, Ann, who had just been acquitted, was walking out of the courthouse. She spotted Lisa from a distance, her face a mix of emotions. She never expected Lisa to file an appeal. She always thought her daughter wanted her to rot in jail forever.
Naturally, Lisa saw Ann, too. She marched right up to her.

Still furious, Lisa yanked her hand away. "Mom? Whose mom are you? Just because I got you out doesn't mean I accept you as my mom. If you hadn't swapped my life with Chloe's, my life wouldn't be such a mess now." Lisa glared at Ann with contempt. "Don't clooking foragain. Go find your real daughter, Chloe. She can take care of you in your old age." Then, Lisa turned and left.
Ann stood there, frozen. The midday sun was blazing, making it feel like she was being roasted.

Ann was startled but recognized her immediately. She had seen the girl's photo before. Finally, she got into e car. They quickly merged into city's traffic.
the the "I'm Chloe," the girl introduced herself calmly.
Ann's expression was complicated. "I recognize you," she said quickly "I've seen your photo." When she went to prison, she had taken two photos with her-one of Lisa and one of Chloe.
Ann was visibly nervous, but Chloe was calm and composed. While driving, Chloe asked, "Do you have a place to stay?" "I used to live in Sundance Heights," Ann replied.
Chloe drove directly there. Sundance Heights was an old neighborhood set for demolition but had a prlocation near the city center.

Ann got out. "Ms. Chloe, thank you for bringinghere. Cup for a cup of tea before you go." Chloe called her Ms. Ann, clearly not ready to accept her as her mother. But Ann didn't feel dejected; she knew she didn't deserve to be called mom.
Chloe didn't refuse the invitation.
