Betraying her trust
Mrs. Banks also took hold of the antique collection Sam’s biological parents spent years collecting. According to Sam, “she practically stole” all her mother’s antiques to keep for herself, give to Kitty or give to other relatives and friends as gifts.
Sam’s biological mother had one special piece of antique in her collection – an extremely rare and expensive china set, that was part of Sam’s inheritance. Mrs. Banks, of course, thought Sam didn’t understand its value and talked about how the set would be Kitty’s gift on her wedding day.
