You can’t expect me to have any manners when I grew up without parents, Mrs. Rosewood, Elysia said, crossing her arms.

“Who are you calling Mrs. Rosewood? I’m your mother!” Bella snapped.

“From what I’ve seen, you didn’t act like my mom at all. Seriously, what kind of mom blames her own daughter without getting the full story?” Elysia sneered.

“You” Bella was so furious she could barely speak. She raised her hand, ready to slap Elysia.

“Enough!” Scott’s voice boomed, slicing through the tension. He took a deep breath and turned to Elysia. “What’s going on?”

Elysia explained everything that had gone down earlier, her voice tinged with frustration. “Dad, isn’t this my home? Aren’t you and Mom truly my parents?”

Scott furrowed his brow. What are you talking about? This is your home, and we are your parents.”

“Then why am I being insulted in my own house?” Elysia pushed back, her beautiful eyes flashing. “You asked me to come back, but Emma still questions whether I’m really a part of the Rosewood family. Should I have just stayed away?”

Scott shot a disapproving glare at Emma. “As the older sister, you should act like one. And is this really how a Rosewood lady. should carry herself? Who taught you these manners?”

“Enough!” Scott interrupted. Looking at Emma, whom he had raised for eighteen years, he couldn’t bring himself to really lay into her. He just waved his hand and said, “It’s good you own up to your mistakes.”

Emma turned to Elysia with a smug look, like she was saying, “So what if you’re Dad and Mom’s real daughter? They still got my back. See? Even if you’re in the right, they’re always on my side.”

“Mary, take Elysia to her room,” Scott commanded.

“Yes, Mr. Rosewood Mary bowed respectfully and then turned to Elysia. “Please come with me, Ms. Elysia Rosewood.”

Elysia walked behind Mary until they reached a small room on the second floor of the villa. “This is your room,” said Mary.
