Chapter 1078: This is exactly how you raised me, Mom.

The Miller family had their peaceful moments like any other family. They used to eat together, talk about anything, and laugh about something. It wasn't always bad. In fact, it was one of the favorite things Patricia liked to do.

"Where have I been?" Patricia repeated, gazing at her pretentious mother with mockery. "Mom, why are you asking me that now? I've been here for a while, but I never heard you look for me-not once. If anything, it seems you only remember me now that I walk in here."

"Patricia, what are you talking about?" Mrs. Miller was confused. "That's not true. I

"You, what?!" Patricia raised her voice, studying her mother from head to toe. "What, Mom?"

Patricia, who had to hide her body with this damn hoodie and these ugly pants to conceal the nightmare she went through, her mother was dressed fashionably. Mrs. Miller's hair was perfectly done, and one could tell by her skin that she had just come from the beauty clinic to get
