NovelApexChapter 1488: Yet, Kenia had never contacted her after she had said that. Even today, Holley had to beg shamelessly at the doorstep before Margie let her in.
Holley had been convinced that Kenia would ultimately relent when she saw her current wretched state. Perhaps she could even sway her to offer her shelp.
To her utter dismay, however, Kenia remained unmoved. She was unwilling to even speak to her.

She broke into a sob. "Mom..." No sooner had the word left Holley's lips than Kenia cut her off, her voice slicing through the air like ice. "Don't call'Mom.' Ms. Lewis, whatever bond may have once existed between us is long gone." Her tone was resolute, and it struck Holley like a dagger to the chest.
If only she had foreseen this day... If only she had destroyed Belinda completely when she'd had the chance, then perhaps none of this would have happened.
Regret consumed Holley.
But even faced with Kenia's merciless rejection, she refused to give up. Her voice trembled as she pleaded, "Mom, know I was wrong. I truly, deeply regret everything. Please... Just forgivethis once. Look at me; I've already been punished more than enough." Tears spilled freely down her cheeks.
She continued, "Mom, I'm your flesh and blood. How can you bear to seelike this? Doesn't it tear at your heart?" Unexpectedly, Kenia laughed, a cold, hollow sound.

Did your heart ache then, Holley? Did you feel even a flicker of remorse?" Holley was at a loss for words for a moment, her face turning pale.
"I-I wasn't thinking straight at that time," she stammered after a while. "I thought it was for Belinda's own good. I only wanted what was best for her—" more updates in gal"Enough!" Kenia's harsh voice sliced through her excuse like a whip. "Sparethe pitiful lies and twisted logic. Don't insultfurther by pretending your cruelty was care. I'm sick of it." Her sharp eyes bore into Holley. The disgust etched into her gaze was unmistakable.
Holley was silent, crushed under the weight of Kenia's fury.
Just then, the door creaked open.
Moments later, Belinda entered the living room.
At the sight of Holley sitting on the sofa, Belinda's expression instantly darkened.
But when her gaze settled on Holley's bloated features, her eyes narrowed, appraising the transformation.
The effects of the hormones had clearly taken their toll on Holley's body. Holley was visibly rounder now, her face puffy, her neck lost beneath a pronounced double chin.
