Chapter 39

• Belinda clenched her fists around her daughter's mouth, slammed her palms against it, and looked around to see if there was a maid nearby. She sighed and faced Alyssa with a serious face.
• “Alyssa, this isn't the time to feel sorry for our lives; they weren't fair to us when I gave birth to you and was thrown out of the house by my parents. I hate to admit it, but you were born out of wedlock, but you are still my child." Haven't you always wanted a father?”
• Belinda sweetened her words and rubbed her hair affectionately. She was well aware of Alyssa's flaws and exploited them. Her own daughter was born out of wedlock, and Belinda knew how much she wanted a father. So, why not give her one? She thought.
