“Wait, that’s not true Rose. I and your little sister tried all our best to find you so you could be with her, I even sent an investigator to your town but he never saw you there! I looked for you for so many years but you weren’t found!” Claudia said holding Rose's arm to perhaps prevent her from leaving.
“Then why did you pretend that you and father weren’t married from the beginning? I even mentioned my sister’s name but you had pretended and tried to fool me!” Rose yelled out at the top of her voice.
“Because I found out that you hadn’t known about me yet, I didn’t want you to despise me without knowing the actual truth,” Claudia responded with a pitiful expression.
“I know that you have nothing to do about this but we are all victims of lies. I also fell victim!” She added.
