Recalling the last time she was here, her parents castigated her for assaulting Courtney and for shaming the name of the Rames They never believed her side of the story, claiming that Scarlett was jealous of her adopted sister

It was the though she really was jealous. Scarleti should have the love of her parents and not Courtney She felt she should be the one living a comfortable life and not her fake sister Not her parent’s fake daughter But why was her life so pathetic?
