Renee Langdon took a deep breath, trying to calm her tone to soothe Mom Langdon: "Mom, don't get upset. I know because of Martin Archer, you're skeptical of people in this circle, but Quinn Leroy is really different. He's very good to me, gives me resources, teaches me how to act, helps me with everything. He's not like Martin Archer, trust me."
Unexpectedly, these words made Mom Langdon angrier: "What do you know, you're so young, men like that are handsome, know how to play tricks, and aren't of low status. He's just deceiving you, don't repeat my mistakes, I won't allow you to be deceived. Since you're home, stay in your room and rest for a few days. I'll send you abroad in a few days."
As she spoke, she stood up as if the decision was made.
Renee Langdon was so angry that she didn't know what to say. "Mom, I'm not a child. Can you stop locking me up at home like when I was little? I'm an adult now, what you're doing is illegal..."
