Polly quickly recovered, straightening her back. "What, am I wrong? You treat strangers better than your own family. That Yesenia girl, that mute... you treat those two women like treasures. I'm telling you, if you don't get Renata out, don't blame me for what I do."
Clifford just stared at her silently. After a moment, he spoke. "And what do you plan to do?"
Polly snorted. "Cut the nonsense. Get your sister out. I might not be able to get her out of prison, but I can certainly put a couple of other people in."
The threat was clear.
A cold smile touched Clifford’s lips. "Then by all means, try."
Without another word, he turned and walked away.
Polly was left fuming, nearly jumping in frustration. She stared at her son's retreating back, her nails digging so deep into her palms they nearly drew blood. From his attitude, it was clear he had no intention of helping Renata.
The realization sent a chill through her heart. She couldn't believe this was the son she had raised.
...
Meanwhile, Latisha waited a long time before she was able to hail a cab. She sat in the back, distractedly scrolling through her phone. Her mind felt empty, hollowed out. Her eyes scanned the screen, but nothing registered. Her focus was gone.
Then, an entertainment news alert popped up: *Stunning Newcomer Yesenia's Secret Backer Revealed!*
Latisha’s heart skipped a beat. Before she knew it, her finger had already tapped the notification.
