“If I had known she’d make those mistakes, I’d have been stricter on her from young!” Cindy lamented.

“You shouldn’t blame yourself, Aunt Cindy,” Arielle replied. “After all, she’s only your adopted daughter. From what I’ve heard, adoptees usually have personality issues. If you find her to be a handful, we can always disown her, can’t we?”

Cindy stared wide-eyed at Arielle as her face turned pale with rage.

If she didn’t have a plan to follow, Cindy would’ve blown her top at Arielle. Regaining her composure, she forced a smile and nodded her head. “You’re right. But I can’t bear to let her go, especially since she’s been with me for so long. You, on the other hand, have suffered so much while you were overseas. Even though you’re finally home, you haven’t been able to enjoy much peace, have you? I’m sorry. I’ve truly let you down.”

Arielle shook her head. “You’re not to blame, Aunt Cindy.”

“You’re a good kid…” Cindy whimpered as she pretended to wipe a tear away. “The thing is, there’s a party I was supposed to attend with Shannie. Many socialites from Jadeborough will be there, and getting invitations to it wasn’t easy at all. But, with Shannie being such a letdown, there’s no way I can bring her with me now. I was thinking of bringing you along instead and use the chance to introduce you to everyone. What do you think?”

 

Arielle’s eyes lit up immediately, unable to hide the excitement on her face. “Really? Come to think of it, Dad hasn’t formally introduced me to the other socialites, so this would be the perfect chance. I shall go along with you then, Aunt Cindy. I’d still need your guidance when I’m there, though, in case I make a fool of myself.”

Arielle was so quick to agree that Cindy heaved a sigh of relief.
