Chapter 211 Back to Copper City

• “What do you think of this, then?” Lucy asked softly. She never expected Old Mrs. Robinson to make this reveal. No wonder she looks so agitated. Anyone would, if they found out their so-called parents killed their mother and pretended to be their real parents for over twenty years. However, she wondered how Old Mrs. Robinson found out the Collins’ secret that Lauren knew nothing about. This is too suspicious.
• “I didn’t want to believe it when Mrs. Robinson told me about it. Not one bit.” Lauren’s voice was cracking. “But I have no choice. She said Renee is but a dancer, unworthy of being my mother. She even said she used to be my mother’s friend. I thought about it a lot, and I didn’t want to believe it, but I can’t. They never even visited once when I was in jail. When I tried to call them to save Al since I couldn’t get through to Ethan Parker, they didn’t take it. Even if they think I have sinned, Al was innocent. They’re his grandparents. They should have saved him.”
• Her voice broke completely as tears fell down her cheeks. “I always thought she didn’t like me because I was a naughty kid. I thought she’d love me if I behaved. I worked hard to top everything I learned when I was a kid! But even when I was accomplished, she still didn’t like me.”
