Chapter 321-330

Julia felt her heart aching as she pulled Rina into her arms. “It’s all Henry’s fault! You would have never ended up in that family if he hadn’t brought you away. Tina’s in the wrong as well. She knows about this, yet she still treats you so rudely. She’s so immature!” Julia patted Rina on the back while grumbling.

Tina wouldn’t have been brought to the Grays if they hadn’t lost Rina in the first place. All along, Julia had treated Tina like her biological daughter—her love for Tina remained the same ever after her biological daughter came back to her. However, Julia felt rather conflicted when she heard about how Tina was treating Rina.

Rina noticed the slight resentment that Julia felt toward Tina at that moment. While Julia wasn’t looking, Rina curled her lips into a smug smile. She was the complete opposite of the girl who had been crying and sobbing just moments ago. Tim was taller than both the women, and he had a better view of Rina’s expression from his spot. He raised his eyebrow when he saw her sudden change of expression. Is this the eldest daughter that the Grays have reunited with recently? She doesn’t seem like someone you can mess with. It only took her a few sentences to portray herself as a helpless girl, and she managed to gain Julia’s pity within such a short period. At the same time, she managed to create a bad impression of Tina in Julia’s heart. It seems like things are about to get juicy with her around.

“You guys can stay out here, Mrs. Gray. I’ll go in to visit Tina.” Tim’s glasses glared as he spoke. Julia nodded. “Okay. Thanks for doing this, Tim.”

Tim didn’t know what to say in response, so he merely let out a thoughtful chuckle before he let himself into the room. Tina was sitting on the bed with her head hanging low, just like Julia had described. She really looks like a rag doll without a soul, Tim thought.

However, Tim knew that Tina wasn’t someone who’d struggle to pick herself up after a minor stumble along the way. He knew that being in a detention center wouldn’t do such a thing to her. Instead, it seemed like she had learned how to contain her emotions and expressiveness to make her seem more grounded. Tim was certain that she was still the same person deep down. She merely wanted others to think that she had changed.
