It's not very considerate to hang that painting in the hall, especially to your stepmom. What if someone sees it? Won't they gossip about our family? So I think her suggestion makes a lot of sense. Besides, you can hang that painting in your room, right? I remember your room doesn't have any paintings." Vince's open agreement with Karen to change the painting made Rita even more heartbroken.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? The painting's gone, and I can't find it! Even if Mom is gone, you can't just forget everything about the past. That painting is of you, me, and Mom! How could you be so heartless to let that woman change the painting?" Vince's expression darkened.

Why don't you just say you did it for yourself, rather than saying it's for me? And now that you have a new family, I bet you can't wait to marryoff, am I right? I should've known. You've always been like that!" "How dare you!" Vince erupted in anger, glaring at his daughter. He suddenly found her strangely unfamiliar, realizing she had grown up without him even noticing.
Her defiant stance, with her head held high, confronting him, reminded him of someone. Eventually, he lowered his raised hand.
"You've truly disappointed me!" he exclaimed.
"You've disappointedtoo," Rita cried out. "You're not a good father."
