**Episode 9: The Return**
Amanda's return to Vance Manor
was met with a carefully
orchestrated display of affection
from Eleanor. The media was
alerted, and photos of the
"reunited" mother and daughter
filled the society pages.
Eleanor lavished Amanda with gifts,
enrolled her in the most prestigious
schools, and introduced her to the
elite circles of society. But beneath
the surface of this perfect facade,
the tension between them
remained palpable.
Amanda played her part, smiling for
the cameras, attending social
events, and excelling in her studies.
But she never forgot the years of
neglect and abuse, and she never
let Eleanor forget them either. She
began quietly building her own
network of allies, people who saw
her for who she truly was, not just
as Eleanor Vance's adopted
daughter.
She reconnected with Mrs. Gable,
who was overjoyed to see her
back. Mrs. Gable became Amanda's
confidante, a source of comfort and
support in the cold, opulent world
of Vance Manor. Don't forget to leave a Comment
