She pointed at Ruka. “I-I can’t believe you did something so foul. You disappoint me. You’re supposed to be my daughter. Scarlet’s your godmother. How could you even do this?”

Ruka was shocked. She had no idea what her mother was talking about, but seeing her so sad made Ruka sad too. “C-Calm down, Mom. We can talk this through.” She tried to hug Claire.

Claire shoved her away. “Tell me, why are you dating Ren? What were you thinking? You’re not supposed to be a gold digger.. You’re not supposed to date someone just because they’re rich, so why did you?”

Ruka blushed even harder, but then she blanched. How did Mom find out about that?

“I saw everything. You hugged and kissed him. How could you do that? Have you no shame? He’s your uncle! You’re tarnishing our name!” Claire was still crying from anger. She was furious and disappointed.

Ruka was panicking. She was too ashamed to face her mother. The girl pursed her lips, and tears welled up in her eyes. Her mother’s disappointment was too heavy for her to bear. She had no idea how to console Claire either.
