Charmaine was packing in her room .
She only had a backpack , a laptop , and a sketchbook when they brought her back to the Nelsons a few months ago .
That was all she took with her .
But no matter how much Charmaine searched , she couldnt find the sketchbook anywhere .

If Charmaine really knew something , things would have blown up by now .
She wouldnt simply ask to cut ties with the family .
Only a fool would give up being a daughter of the Nelsons ! It must be because tonights birthday party was all about her .

Leah sneered .
