The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1590

"Ma’am, I'm scared, really really scared," Alison said with tears in her eyes, her head bowed low. "If it wasn’t for Ivy yesterday, I might’ve already jumped off a building. Life with either Dad or Mom is just too terrifying..."

Rosalynn nodded. "I get it."

Alison glanced at Rosalynn timidly, unsure whether she would be willing to help.

Before, when her dad found out one of her classmates was a tycoon's daughter, they had brought up Ivy's parents at the dinner table. They were described as "ruthless and heartless". So, when she found out her mom went to see Ivy, she was petrified.

But the principal had just said that Ivy's mother was a good person, and if she needed help, she could try asking.

"You should go back to class. The rest will be taken care of. Of course, if you change your mind and want to choose between your parents again, or go see your mom, you can always tell the principal."

Alison was taken aback. She didn't expect Ivy's mother to agree so readily.

"What's up?" Rosalynn noticed her surprised look and asked.

Alison hesitated, bowed her head, and asked tearfully, "If I don't want my parents, will you think I'm cold-hearted and ungrateful?"

The criticism she most often received at home was that she was ungrateful. If she ate a little too much, she would be reprimanded. If her aunt was in a bad mood and she was too busy with her homework to comfort her, she would get scolded. Over time, she began to question if she really was that heartless.
