Chapter 108 I Can\u2019t Forgive Your<\/p>\n
Deanna\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
I heard the door shut.<\/p>\n
I wrapped my arms around my knees and sat there in a daze.<\/p>\n
Days passed without a single call or text from Luis.<\/p>\n
*10 Free Coins<\/p>\n
I locked myself at home, pulled out my old art supplies, and sketched interior designs one after another.<\/p>\n
The phone in the living room rang.<\/p>\n
I picked it up.<\/p>\n
\u201cBae, the Muses grand opening is tonight. I\u2019m the spokesperson, and I saw your name on the guest list. Are you coming?\u201d<\/p>\n
Violet\u2019s voice was full of excitement.<\/p>\n
Ever since that recording came out, everything had flipped. She went from a sinner to a victim. The public sided with her.<\/p>\n
Violet popularity soared even higher than before.<\/p>\n
The brands that once demanded compensation and the shows that had dropped her were now crawling back, begging for her return.<\/p>\n
I thought for a second, then remembered\u2013my assistant had sent me an invitation a few days<\/p>\n
ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, I got it. But I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her tone dropped. \u201cWhy not? You sound off lately. Did something happen?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNope, nothing\u2019s wrong. Don\u2019t think too much.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLast time I asked about that recording, you never told me how you got it. Deanna, don\u2019t keep me worried.\u201d<\/p>\n
Afraid I\u2019d slip up if I kept talking, I rushed out, \u201cAlright, superstar. I\u2019ll go. I\u2019ll come see just how stunning their spokesperson looks tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

After hanging up. I pulled a gray one\u2013shoulder gown from my closet and got ready to head<\/p>\n
out<\/p>\n
Bun just as I finished changing, the doorbell rang.<\/p>\n
Did Violet send someone to pick me up?<\/p>\n
I hurried to the door and opened it.<\/p>\n
Standing there was my mother.<\/p>\n
Kathryn looked worn out, but her eyes lit up when I opened the door.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeanna, you haven\u2019t answered my calls or texts in days. I was worried something happened, so I came to see you.\u201d<\/p>\n
My face darkened instantly.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, you see me now. I\u2019m fine.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYour dad told me you haven\u2019t been to the office.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf that\u2019s why you\u2019re here, you can leave.\u201d<\/p>\n
I started to close the door, not wanting another word with her.<\/p>\n
Kathryn grabbed my arm, her voice urgent. \u201cI came today to ask you to forgive me.\u201d<\/p>\n
A bitter laugh slipped from my lips. I turned and stared straight at her.<\/p>\n
\u201cForgive you? How am I supposed to do that?<\/p>\n
\u201cForgive you for only remembering Jillian as your daughter when I come home? Forgive you for always being biased against me? For never once treating me like your child?\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathryn\u2019s face turned stiff with embarrassment.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease, give me a chance to make it right. Let\u2019s put the past behind us and start fresh as mother and daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cForget?\u201d I let out a cold laugh.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I needed you most, you weren\u2019t there. Now? I don\u2019t need you anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her hand suddenly tightened on my arm. \u201cDeanna, I can make mistakes too. If you had grown<\/p>\n

up with me, none of this would have happened. The one I loved most would have always been you.\u201d<\/p>\n
That sentence was like a match tossed into dry wood. Years of anger and hurt burst into flames inside me.<\/p>\n
1 yanked my arm free, my voice rising without control.<\/p>\n
So because I didn\u2019t grow up with you, you disdain me? That\u2019s your excuse?<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was Dorothy\u2019s selfishness that switched me and Jillian. She gave Jillian everything. And you -you were my real parents. I thought you would be my backer, but all the pain in my life came from you!\u201d<\/p>\n
Kathryn\u2019s lips trembled. For a long time, she couldn\u2019t say a word.<\/p>\n
Looking at her, I suddenly felt nothing but emptiness.<\/p>\n
I slammed the door shut, stumbled down to the parking garage, and slid into my car.<\/p>\n
My hands gripped the steering wheel as I sucked in one shaky breath after another until the tightness in my chest finally loosened. Then I hit the gas and sped away.<\/p>\n
Because of the delay, I arrived late. The first session for the new shop opening of Muses had already ended.<\/p>\n
The staff quickly led me to the next session of the event\u2013the cocktail party.<\/p>\n
