"Mom, listen to me! This is all Nina's fault! She knew I wanted that lead role, so she pushedto the edge on purpose! And Linden must have been Daniela's pawn, sent to ruin me! You were right all along, Mom. Daniela is out for revenge!" Elyse drew in a slow breath, her shoulders heavy.

Elyse's expression didn't change. "You're too worked up to listen to reason. No matter what I say, you won't hear it. That's enough for now. I'll visit another time." With that, she ended the call.

Nina didn't even flinch.
Elyse bent down, picking up the thermos with a quiet sigh. "Nina, no matter what, I'm still your mother. Your father passed away when you En.
were young, and I raised both you and your sister on my own. I know you resent me, but I swear-I'll make things right."
Nina took a slow sip of water. "You don't have to, Mom. As far as tim concerned died the day you leftto rot in that warehouse."
Elyse's expression darkened, her features twisting with anger. Shen if he were looked at Nina as if she were a stranger-one she wanted nothing to do with.
