At the Young residence, after learning about Ethan’s engagement, Frida dialed Evelyn’s number with a mixture of frustration and concern. “Evelyn, why didn’t you tell me about Ethan’s engagement? I’m his mother, don’t I have the right to know about something this significant?”

Evelyn replied coldly, “This is Ethan’s decision, and I have no authority to interfere. He has finally managed to emerge from the shadows, and if you truly care for his well-being as a mother, you should refrain from disturbing him.

Evelyn added, “You and our family have no connection anymore. I’m only answering your call out of respect for the fact that you used to be his mother.

She continued, “When Ethan was just five or six years old, you tormented him, locked him in the basement, nearly taking his life. Your remorse now is too little, too late. Don’t call again in the future, hmph!”

The call ended abruptly. Frida slumped on the couch, utterly defeated, covering her face with her hands.
