The instant I saw my mother , a wave of pent - up grievances surged through me . Mom ! " I cried as my voice broke with emotion . My mother's heart broke at the sight of me . She immediately rushed toward me and pulled me into her embrace . I finally felt safe when I leaned against my mother's chest . The surrounding onlookers gasped in astonishment at my mother's vehicle . " Look ! That's a limited edition stretch limousine ! " " Only the extremely rich and powerful can own that car . It seems Vivian messed with the wrong person this time . " " Wrong person ? Please . Even if she's got connections , nobody could possibly outrank the Goodwin family in this city . " Vivian thought the same , too . She charged toward my mother . " So you're the witch who raised this brat ? She dared to steal my dress and hit me ! how are you going to make this right ?! " Tell me , My mother raised her eyes to look at her . " How am I going to make this right ? " Oblivious to my mother's murderous glare , Vivian made her demands without restraint . " This was my dress until your trashy daughter put her hands on it . Now it's ruined . You'll pay ten times the price . And for those slaps ? She'll kneel right here and slap herself twenty times in front of everyone . " Most importantly , cancel her engagement with Luc . " She spoke as if she was bestowing some great mercy . " Do everything I say , and maybe I'll let you walk out of here in one piece . Otherwise , you're not leaving this store alive ! " My mother laughed in disbelief when she heard Vivian's outrageous demands .
