Reborn Matriarch: Shattering The Orphan's Mask
“Christa discovered her adopted daughter Evelyn was sneaking around with a street thug named Dante. When she furiously confronted her, Evelyn squeezed out a few tears and played the tragic, abused orphan. "Mom is so cruel to me, I just want someone to love me," Evelyn cried to the men of the house, who instantly took her side. Christa didn't realize her anger only gave the girl the perfect victim card. Evelyn manipulated the family's guilt to drain their wealth and orchestrate a massive corporate fraud. When the authorities closed in, Evelyn let Christa's eldest daughter Julianna take the fall, sending her to federal prison. The Stephenson family went completely bankrupt. Christa's husband Grant, crushed by the betrayal and debt, jumped off a Manhattan skyscraper. Until her family was entirely destroyed, Christa couldn't understand. They had given the orphan a home, a trust fund, and endless love. Why did Evelyn treat them like easy marks? Why did she use their kindness as a weapon to tear them apart? Opening her eyes again, Christa saw the heavy velvet drapes letting in the pale morning light. She was back seven years ago, on the exact day she first caught Evelyn texting that thug. This time, Christa wouldn't scream or fight. She would cut off the money, drop the rules, and watch the parasite dig her own grave.”
