A Caged Songbird's Escape: Into the Arms of a Predator novel Chapter 478

As soon as the words left her mouth, a wave of guilt washed over Suzanne.

At the end of the day, this was her biological child.

And the reason Marcia had turned out this way was because she hadn't had her family by her side to guide her properly all these years.

Her harsh, unforgiving words were probably a bit inappropriate.

Yet, for some reason, her immediate instinct was to protect Elissa, and she couldn't control it.

It was as if she simply couldn't tolerate anyone bullying Elissa, even if that person was undeniably her own daughter.

Both Elissa and Marcia looked completely stunned.

Elissa was surprised because the awkward, conflicted scene she had imagined Suzanne being trapped in hadn't lasted for even a second.

Suzanne had instantly taken her side.

Marcia, on the other hand, was shocked because the entire Wilkinson family seemed to be under Elissa's spell.

Even as the real "daughter," Marcia meant absolutely nothing in front of Elissa!

Marcia ground her teeth and forced tears into her eyes, looking at Suzanne pitifully. "... Mom, you're right. I was being arrogant, thinking that kneeling could solve my problems."

"It's just that over the years, whenever people bullied or oppressed me, they would only let me go if I got on my knees..."

No parent could bear to hear something like that.

Especially not Suzanne, who had always blamed herself for losing Vera all those years ago.

She had constantly tormented herself with the thought that if she had just kept a closer eye on her, none of this would have happened.

Looking at the daughter who was so drastically different from the one she had imagined, Suzanne let out a soft sigh. "We will do everything we can to make up for the suffering you endured in the past."
