That wasn’t something a normal human could even pull off–and yet that absolute piece of shit had actually done it. Worse still, he was related to her by blood.

Hearing the urgency in her voice, the man narrowed his eyes slightly. “Are you defending her?”

“No, I’m not,” she said quickly. “I’m just being honest.”

After spending time with Marie, Tessa finally understood why there had never been any melodrama between Stella and Marie–no jealousy, no rivalry, no fight over who was the real daughter.

Because the Dawsons were generous, open–minded, and never got caught up in petty drama. Each of them had real depth and character.

Growing up in an environment like that, how could Stella possibly turn out like Lillian, that pretentious slut?

No wonder Stella never bothered to explain herself when Lillian tried to start something with her.

Half the time, she’d just go straight to throwing punches because talking felt like a waste of time.
