The answer was clear if someone asked Betty who her favorite person was. It was her mom, Leanne.

Unlike other parents who might use this question to vie for their child's affection playfully, Curtis never bothered competing for Betty's favor. After all, when faced with the same question, Leanne was always his undisputed choice.

Betty loved her mom, just as Leanne loved her. But even the closest of mother-daughter bonds could sometimes face their little quarrels.

Growing up doted on by everyone, Betty was the apple of her family's eye. Maddox and Jennifer would've plucked the stars from the sky for her if they could. Her two godmothers showered her with love, treating her as their own, not to mention her reliable and wealthy Uncle Phillip, the spendthrift but affectionate Devin, and Skyler, who secretly hoped to become her godfather but was outright rejected by Curtis And then there was the award-winning actress, Larissa, who eventually took Leanne as her goddaughter.

With everyone doting on her so much, it's no shocker that Betty ended up a bit spoiled.

And while Leanne was usually gentle, she was clear about her principles. Betty would get criticized for her mistakes.

As Betty grew older, her sense of self also began to blossom. After a wrongdoing she refused to admit, Leanne's stern discipline brought her to tears.

Holding her smartwatch like a lifeline, she sought external support.

Leanne sat unmoved on the couch. "Go ahead."
