“Bonnie?” A familiar voice sounded from behind, interrupting Bonnie's thoughts.

She was shocked when she turned to see who it was. “Mom?”

The middle-aged woman was not Vera but Bonnie's foster mother, Welma. Not only was Welma there, but she

also brought Gerald and Bonnie's younger brother, Benedict.

“Dad, Benny, why are you here?”

“It's been five years, Bonnie. You've grown into a beautiful young lady.” Welma's eyes reddened as she

embraced Bonnie tremblingly.

“I'm sorry we haven't contacted you much these past few years, Bonnie. We haven't even visited you once. It's

not that we don’t care. We didn’t want our background to make you and Trina the city’s laughingstock.” Tears ran

down Welma'’s cheeks as she spoke.

Even Gerald becteary-eyed while Benedict turned aside to wipe away his tears discreetly.

Welma added, “I wanted to visit you for your 20th birthday and Trina for her engagement party. But your dad

was worried we would embarrass you two if we showed up that day. That's why we waited until today to visit.”

“It's okay, Mom. Stop crying, okay? If you keep crying, I'm going to cry, too.” Bonnie took out a handkerchief to

wipe away her foster mother’s tears.

“Yeah, we finally get to meet our daughter, and you're crying so much. What's that supposed to mean?” Gerald

sighed and then looked at Bonnie, saying, “The Shepards are too high-class for us. We knew we would stand out

like a sore thumb and embarrass you and Trina. Hey, could you go in

and call Trina out? We have birthday gifts for you two.”

“Sure thing, Dad.” Bonnie turned and rang the doorbell, which puzzled the trio. They did not understand why

Bonnie had to ring the doorbell to her family’s house.

“Who is it?” The butler walked over. When he saw Bonnie, he bechostile. “Oh, it’s you. I'd prefer not to let

you in, but Madam Vera toldyou'd be coming to get your stuff. Quick, collect your things

and leave.”

The tfelt something was amiss. Benedict asked, “Bonnie, what's going on? Why's he talking to you like that?

What are you here to collect?”

Bonnie frowned and was about to explain, but the butler sneered and said, “You guys don’t know, huh? The

Shepards have disowned Bonnie.”

“What?! Is that true?” Gerald trembled and almost fell over.

Welma was on the verge of tears, saying, “Bonnie, that can’t be true.”

Bonnie felt bitter but nodded and said, “They look down on me. It’s official. They've disowned me. I'll

be going my separate way.”

The twas shocked.

The butler continued, “It’s not that Madam Vera looks down on you, Bonnie. It's because you dug your own grave

by relying on your looks instead of your skills. You turned into a homewrecker and involved yourself in a love

affair-"

Smack!

Bonnie slapped the butler. She would let Vera's vicious accusations slide, but not a butler to insult her so

casually. She was not an easy target.

“How dare you slap me, you little gremlin! I'll make you pay!” The butler held his cheek and then motioned to

return Bonnie's slap.
