"This is your mother," Madam said. "Doesn't she look pretty?"

Irene looked at the photo in a daze.

"Is this really my mother? She's gorgeous!"

"Yes, she is indeed gorgeous. Not only was she gorgeous, but she also had a sweet voice. She was so attractive, she had men in her grips."

Madam sounded a little jealous when she said that. "What's enviable is that she comes from a rich family."

Irene asked, "Is she dead?" She remembered that the old woman had told her that all her family was dead.
