Chapter 2062


    Elizabeth sighed, "Poor Hans, with his head-in-the-clouds parents, his future''s practically ruined!"


    Simone chuckled, "No worries, Mom. We still have Carme and Sabina, right?"


    "Mmm," Elizabeth nodded slightly and fell silent.


    The television suddenly erupted with noise, announcing that KING hadnded. The crowd surged forward, some even wielding


    baseball bats, faces flushed with fury as if ready for a brawl.


    Simone fidgeted with the hem of her dress, imagining Estelle getting mobbed, beaten down, and then dismissed from the scene.


    That would settle everything!


    Ever since they learned of Estelle''s existence, there had been this unspoken tension between them.


    She had invested twenty years into Carme, only to find out she wasn''t her biological daughter, which left her deeply


    disappointed.


    Before meeting Estelle, she was anxious that the girl might reim Carme and take her back to the barren hills, a ce her


    pampered daughter could never endure.


    Yet, she held some hope for Estelle, curious about what her own daughter would be like.


    However, upon setting eyes on Estelle, she felt her hopes deted.


    She still remembered that afternoon in a C City diner, an ordinary old man with a girl in a baseball cap at his side, introducing her


    and Bet to Estelle — their daughter.


    The girl merely nced at them before looking down, her demeanor icy,cking any excitement or warmth of recognition.


    Bet called out "Estelle," and she just hummed in acknowledgment.


    At first, she thought Estelle''s shy demeanor was just because she was from a small ce but even back home, Estelle was just


    as closed off and quiet, a stark contrast to Carme''s bubbly and outgoing nature.


    Carme tenderly offered her dresses and jewelry, but Estelle showed little emotion, leaving Carme feeling awkward.


    Seeing the daughter she had doted on acting so meek and reassuring her that it was okay, her heart ached.


    When Estelle returned to J City for school, she camest in the first exam.


    The principal called them in for a talking-to, bluntly tossing the report card on the table and demanding Estelle transfer out to


    avoid dragging down the school''s performance.


    Bet was mortified. Carme had always made her proud, receiving admiration from teachers and parents, but now Estelle


    was tarnishing every bit of respect Carme had earned.


    Not only were her grades poor, but Estelle was also fighting,nding a ssmate in the hospital right off the bat.


    She began to resent Estelle!


    Estelle''s friction with Carme kept growing, and she watched, distressed, as Carme was wronged. She regretted ever


    bringing Estelle home.


    If they had never discovered Carme wasn''t their own, hadn''t brought Estelle back, their family of three would have been


    blissfully happy!


    Fortunately, it wasn''t long before Estelle moved out.


    Bet was so angry at the time that she didn''t even ask where Estelle was going—she just hoped the girl would disappear


    from their lives!


    After Estelle left, their home returned to its harmonious state, and she increasingly felt that Estelle was an unnecessary burden.


    Over the years, the distance, misunderstandings, and prejudices against Estelle had deepened, leaving no room for turning


    back.

    Estelle and Jonathan''s group hadn''t even emerged when chaos erupted outside.


    Even a celebrity''s homing didn''t incite such frenzy.


    But instead of cheers, Estelle was met with jeers and calls for her to leave.
