Mia Garcia began to explain, "Mom, I had actually broken up with the Third Young Master Collins, and we hadn't been in contact for quite some time. But when he found out about my troubles, he not only identified the person who was smearing me behind the scenes but also came to comfort me right away. He stood by my side, helped me resolve the crisis, and even took the initiative to reconcile with me. With a man like that on my side, why shouldn't I agree to repair our relationship?"
"As for not telling you proactively, it was because everything happened so abruptly. Then, when the News broke, I thought you would see it, so I didn't say anything. I noticed you hadn't contacted me, and I thought maybe you were still against me being with the Third Young Master Collins. I figured we could talk it over after you cooled down a bit."
All of this seemed reasonable and sensible.
But upon closer scrutiny, it was all false pretense and insincerity.
