When Faye Lockwood heard even her own parents saying such things, she found it utterly unacceptable.
She couldn't understand it. Vera Warner had clearly stolen the life that should have been hers, yet now, it was as if everything was her fault.
"I am not going to apologize to that bitch! She doesn't deserve it, and I haven't done anything wrong."
"She only got where she is by relying on Victor Morgan. Without him, the idea of her beating me on her own is a complete fantasy."
"All you do is defend her, day in and day out! Who's your real daughter, anyway?"
Faye Lockwood screamed, unwilling to be trampled under Vera Warner's heel forever.
Seeing her daughter in this state, Mrs. Lockwood felt both heartbroken and helpless.
"Your father's right. It's not that we're protecting her. We're just in a situation where we have no choice but to bow to pressure."
