    Chapter 2443


    They were all just going about their day at work. Ivy did nothing but taking a look after knowing that her


    mother was there.


    But who could’ve guessed that she’d be smacked around by a thermos?


    Did her mother really think she could evade thew just by iming maternal rights?


    That was not how things worked.


    As Tessa was hauled off to the police station, she fought every step of the way, “You can’t arrest me!


    I’m her mother. I was just disciplining my daughter. Whatw did I break, hum?” One of the female


    officers was clearly irritated, “It’s because of mothers like you that there are so many unlucky kids out


    there. You think you can just smack your daughter around with a thermos? You were trying to hurt her,


    maybe worse. You’re a murderer, so stop ttering yourself.”


    This was a new level of harshness for the officers. They’d seen their share of family disputes, but


    nothing like this. If they were shocked, Ivy must be devastated.


    ra, who had asked Tessa to handle a certain matter, was blindsided when instead of results, she got


    a call about her mother causing a scene at the police station. She looked all annoyed when she took


    the phone on the set.


    “Who did you say? Tessa? She’s not my mother, so stop calling me. Yeah, you’ve got the wrong


    number; her daughter’s Ivy. Yes, I’m busy here. If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”


    With the director shooting her impatient looks, ra promptly ended the call.


    She had fought hard for this opportunity to shoot an ad and wasn’t about to let Tessa’s drama ruin it.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    It was Tessa’s foolishness that led herself to the police station. Why would that be ra’s problem?


    The officer, who was so resigned, hung up, “She says she’s not your daughter. Did you give me the


    wrong number?”


    Tessa’s smile was strained. Thest thing she wanted was for Finn to hear about this and add to her


    troubles. She had provided ra’s number, after all, it was at her behest that she had gone to Ivy in the


    first ce. Yet ra had denied her to the officers.


    “Officer, maybe you didn’t exin the situation properly so she might not realize how urgent this is.


    Could you please try calling her again?” Tessa pleaded.


    Reluctantly, the officer dialed again, but this time ra’s phone was turned off.


    The officer brought her phone close to Tessa’s ear, “See? It’s not that I didn’t say. She just doesn’t want


    toe. Isn’t her attitude clear enough?”


    Tessa slumped into the chair, crushed. She had devoted years to this family but it was in vain. She was


    even neglecting her own daughter for ra, and she believed that even the coldest of hearts could be


    warmed by her efforts. But reality had pped her hard. Was all the respect and affection ra


    showed her just a facade?


    If ra truly cared, why wouldn’t she even show up at the station?


    Tessa was in agony andpletely lost.


    Her own flesh and blood was in the hospital because of her, and ra, whom she had poured all her


    love and attention into, couldn’t even spare her a nce.
