Nina Monroe suddenly started talking, the light in her eyes brightened, then dimmed again as she looked at Serena Sullivan.
"Ever since I can remember, I knew I was different from my brother at home."
"Not that life was bad; it was great!"
"But my mom... no, my aunt always looked at me with a strange gaze."
"Materially, I was never lacking, but she didn't like me. Many times, I heard her hurling ugly words like 'bastard'. I never felt warmth in that home, just that I was an outsider."
"Only Wendy Monroe was good to me. I used to think it was because she liked me, but later I found out, she was my biological mother!"
As Nina Monroe's smile faded away at the corners of her mouth.
"I was born from her and Felix Lockwood, and they raised me in my uncle's home, yet no one dared to acknowledge my identity publicly."
"If it weren't for your investigation and Renee Grant causing a scene, I probably wouldn't even have a chance to be talked about."
