When Indie Lowell saw the message from Alvin Morgan announcing her expulsion from the Lowell family registry, she didn't feel the slightest bit of sadness. Instead, she heaved a sigh of relief.
'Finally, I'm free of this nightmarish family. From now on, I'll be wherever my son is.'
The Lowell Family's decision sent shockwaves through the upper circles of Kingsford. The Great Families rarely expelled a direct-line daughter. Usually, such a drastic measure was reserved for capital offenses.
Eve Lowell had been pestered by her friends for days, so she hid in an empty classroom to watch a TV show.
Just as she was getting into it, she suddenly heard the voices of several girls outside the door.
"Joyce, you're finally back! Did you hear about the huge drama with the Lowell Family? The lady who eloped was expelled from their family registry, right?"
"Why?"
"They say she got a secret divorce and infuriated the Lowell Family Head..."
