Later that night, Selina had a very long talk with Sabrina.
Selina was very angry at Sabrina at first, but after getting advice from Cecilia, now she just felt guilty.
She's my daughter after all.
And she inherited her stubborn nature as well!
Selina decided to speak to Sabrina nicely and sounded apologetic for what had happened.
Sabrina however, didn't appreciate her mother's kindness.
She still held a grudge against her mother.
She would never forget the moment her mother took that hillbilly's side instead of hers.
Sabrina swore to hate her mother till the day she died!
But Matthew, her father was nearby!
Sabrina was very scared of him!
So she kept her mouth shut.
Since Sabrina was quiet, Selina assumed that she had accepted her advice and felt that she had resolved the issue.
Things would go back to normal now.
Dory on the other hand, was getting severely punished at this moment.
Aimeen was annoyed that Dory had offended the rich lady and assumed that she had cost her a means of making easy money. That's why she was beating her harshly.
Dory cried the entire night.
Bit by bit, time passed.
Days turned into weeks, weeks into months and months into years.
Dory and Sabrina were now old enough to go to primary school.
Selina went to visit Yesseca that day.
The both of them sat down in the lounge at Yesseca's bakery and chatted together.
Years had passed and Yesseca's business had grown even bigger and better.
Her bakery had gotten so popular that it was deemed the best bakery chain in the entire country!
But Yesseca was not interested in him at all. Selina tried to encourage several times, but Yesseca remained adamant.
In the end, nothing came from it.
Ever since then, Selina knew that it was hopeless.
So she stopped talking about men with Yesseca.
Selina hadn't come to see Yesseca about anything in particular. She simply missed spending time with her and came to catch up on each other's lives.
As they talked, they soon began talking about Sabrina.
After all this time, Sabrina's attitude had not improved at all. On the contrary, she had only gotten worse.
It was because of this, Selina decided not to enroll Sabrina into an elite school.
Because children who went to those schools came from wealthy and powerful families.
Selina wanted Sabrina to mingle with children from regular families.
She hoped that the children she hung around with would eventually rub off on her and help her become more grounded and down-to-earth.
