Cast Out-My Bloodsucking Mother Regrets Too Late

Evelyn wins lottery, stepfather steals her identity, mother sides with him, she cuts ties and builds new life.

Evelyn scrapes by until a five-million-dollar win coincides with eviction for refusing to guarantee stepfather Gavin's debts. Gavin then drains her windfall and uses her stolen identity to launder money for the Russo family. Marian, Evelyn's mother, repeatedly defends Gavin, even coercing a forged signature at Evelyn's wedding. Evelyn teams up with Roman, turning wary alliance into partnership, and finally severs financial ties with a legal agreement that blocks Marian from the wedding. Marian eventually recognizes Gavin's true nature, but Evelyn refuses to let that rewrite the past. She and Roman resolve their separate family troubles and forge an independent future, with Evelyn claiming the right to set her mother's place in her life.
