Anne said, “Betty, why are you being so silly? Your parents raised you for over ten years. They care about you. Zinnia just came back into their lives, and of course, they care about her too.

“But she’s their biological daughter, and blood ties are hard to ignore. Still, why would you do something so reckless just to test their feelings? Zinnia’s return doesn’t mean they love you any less.

“It’s just you and Zinnia as the two girls in the family. There’s no real competition between you two. Honestly, Zinnia doesn’t seem like the scheming type. Wouldn’t it be better if you two just got along?

“Now, because of what you did, everyone thinks you’re in the wrong, and you’ve hurt your parents’ feelings. Betty, this was such a foolish move.”

Thinking about the drama on the forum, Anne felt a mix of frustration and pity for Betty. She thought, ‘This whole mess is completely unnecessary. Maelis and Donald are such kind people. How could they possibly abandon Betty just because Zinnia is their biological daughter?

‘Zinnia doesn’t come across as someone manipulative or calculating in the video. If anything, she seems simple and unassuming. Why would Betty act this way?’

Betty continued, “Anne, I was just too scared. Zinnia must resent me for taking her place. She probably hates having me in the Shaw family.” Her eyes reddened with unshed tears.

Anne gently rubbed Betty’s back and said, “I don’t think Zinnia is like that. She seems indifferent to the Shaw family. She even left without hesitation. She probably doesn’t care much about them.

“Betty, you’re the one they raised, and Zinnia is their blood. To Maelis and Donald, you’re both family. They wouldn’t want to see you two fighting.”

Anne thought, ‘Now that things have escalated, even the Lynn family is treating Betty poorly. If the situation between Betty and Zinnia worsened, who knows what the Lynn family might do next?

‘The best solution right now is for Betty to apologize to Zinnia and at least mend things on the surface.’
