"I knew you were an unlucky person. People would just dump you as soon as they say so, and it's only been a few months! So, after all, a jackdaw remains a jackdaw; it can't turn into a phoenix." Evelina mocked sarcastically.
Mabel Quinn was not unfamiliar with Evelina's schadenfreude, and she even expected it. She simply said coldly, "Whether I'm a jackdaw or a phoenix, it's not up to you to comment. You never truly treated me as a daughter, and from now on, I won't call you mother anymore. I think it's best if you don't come looking for me again; we have no relationship anymore."
In the past, she always hoped that maybe one day her mother would feel that mother-daughter bond and truly treat her well. But after knowing the whole truth, her heart suddenly calmed, and she could finally and completely sever ties with the woman she had called 'mother' for 23 years.
