While waiting for the car, Kara suddenly realized Zoie’s calling her. She turned around in confusion.
“Zoie, what’s the matter?”
“Well, to express my gratitude for you sending the dress in person. I’m going to drive you back.” Zoie replied while she was still sizing up Kaya.
Noticing that Zoie came by, the woman turned around immediately and walked into another direction.
Zoie wanted to verify her thoughts and pulled Kara towards that woman. However, she found that the woman quickened her steps, looking quite anxious.
“Stop it!”
Zoie stopped, and shouted at the woman. But she chose to run instead as soon as possible.
“What’s wrong, Zoie?” Kara asked in confusion. Then she followed Zoie’s gaze but saw nothing.
“It’s alright. Let me send you back.”
Zoie took her to the styling room for the key. If something happened to Kara tonight, definitely James would never forgive her.
At first, she was only curious about it, but now she was even more sure that someone was following her on purpose.
Since Kara was possibly in danger, she had better tell James and caution him to be careful.
Kathleen was running wildly and stopped at a remote alley. She turned around and ensured that no one was chasing after her. Then she leaned on the wall and gasped for breath.
Fortunately, she ran fast, otherwise, she would be spotted. She rejoiced for herself in secret.
She had been following Kara for several days, and it’s not easy to wait for her to be alone. But she did not expect that there was another sharp woman. She was pissed off.
In NK City, Mr. James was not afraid of the Marshalls. Therefore, she was intended to catch Kara and threatened James to help her leave the city.
However, it’s not easy to catch her.
She felt helpless and returned to Elisa’s villa. Seeing the cold and mocking expression, Kathleen lowered her head and did not dare to speak.
“Failed again?”
“I don’t believe that she won’t be alone!” Kathleen clenched her fists and snared.
Kara lived a regular life. She would stay in the studio for work. When she took meals, a few people accompanied her all the time.
James always picked her up for commuting. She was protected well and there was no chance to take advantage of it.
“Kathleen, you have to use your brain.” Elisa glanced at her in disdain.
Being mocked, Kathleen was furious, but now she still needed her protection, so she had to grin and bear it.
“If you can’t find an appropriate occasion, then make it,” Elisa suggested.
Kathleen narrowed her eyes, trying to make a plan. On what occasion would Kara go and meet her?
Night fell pitch black. Now in the Quain’s.
Sophia returned to the apartment. Since Zoey couldn’t drive her away, she treated her as a labor.
Thinking about Rose’s smug expression, Sophia was extremely unwilling to make dinner for her.
Did she reckon that with Zoey’s spoil, she would do anything she want?
Rose had been scolding Sophia for not being able to give birth to a son, and declaring that her daughter was a murder. She even slurred that her life was meaningless and pathetic.
Staring at the dinner, Sophia felt extremely resentful. So she spat in the meal, and deliberately poured the mouthwash water into the dishes.
“Is dinner ready? You have always been letting the grass grow under your feet. I’m starving to death!”
Zoey bought a new cane. When she walked to the kitchen, she knocked on it. Trembled by the sudden sound, Sophia poured all the dirty water she used to rinse her mouth into the food. She quickly brought out the dinner.
“Madam Quain, you do nothing but merely know how to mess it up.”
Hearing Sophia’s reproach, Zoey got angry and hit Sophia’s leg with her walking stick.
“Listen up. If you don’t want to do it, then get out of my house. What a shameless woman! I told you to divorce but you didn’t. Now you are still in the Quain’s. Shame on you!”
Sitting on the table, Rose listened to Zoey’s mockery while gazing at Sophia, who was swallowing her anger.
“Madam Quain, you’re to blame for saying this. No matter what, it has been over 20 years that she has been your daughter-in-law.”
“Daughter-in-law? She even doesn’t give birth to a son. She lives in the Quain’s. What she eats and wears is all supported by us. I’m so ashamed to have such a daughter-in-law.”
Madam Quain was full of resentment, as if Kathleen had killed someone and was a total stranger.
Sophia clenched her fists. She was so angry that his entire body trembled.
What Zoey said was complete nonsense. All these years, she had no work and only stayed at home for rest.
All the necessities for daily use were served by Sophia.
Besides, when she married into the family, she earned money by herself, and didn’t use any penny from the old lady.
Zoey had been insisting that a woman should be taking care of the seniors at home. It was shameless to work outside. Therefore, Sophia was forced to quit her job a few years ago and returned to the Quain’s to take care of Zoey wholeheartedly.
But now, the heartless Zoey was actually making a false counterchange. For the past twenty years, she had worked hard for the whole family but was treated as useless efforts!
“Madam Quain, don’t be sad. Now that I am pregnant, I believe the baby will serve you with all heart and soul.” Rose patted Zoey’s chest and said.
Hearing that she was pregnant, Zoey immediately laughed out loud and touched her belly kindly.
“My little grandson is so sensible. Rose, you have to eat more and take good care of the baby. I am still waiting for him to show filial piety to me.”
Looking at them hugging each other, Sophia’s eyes full of mocking.
It’s still hard to tell whether the vile spawn could be delivered smoothly. Zoey had demanded the baby to show filial piety.
At this time, Sophia’s phone rang. She looked at it and found it a strange number. Then she picked it up doubtfully.
“Mom, can you come out and see me?”
“Kathleen?”
Sophia immediately shut up and ran to her room to answer the phone.
Rose stared at her doubtfully. Her eyes narrowed as if she was guessing something.
Sophia quickly got dressed and came out of the room.
“Where are you going? Dinner isn’t ready yet.” Zoey asked and stared at her.
“I haven’t visited Adam for a long time. I’ll go to the hospital.” Sophia said nervously.
Speaking of her son in the hospital, Zoey paused for a moment. In order to take care of Rose, she had not been to the hospital for a long time.
“Go and buy some nutrition products,” Zoey instructed.
Sophia nodded and reached out to her.
“What? Do you still want my money to buy things for your husband? I am blushing for you!”
Seeing Zoey being so cheeky, Sophia gritted her teeth. She was asked to cook three meals a day and she has to pay for herself.
Originally, she was pretty wealthy. But Rose had always been asking for some precious food, her money was squandering.
Now that she had no money, Zoey didn’t care at all.
But thinking of her agreement with Kathleen, she could only endure and grit her teeth and leave the apartment.
Gazing at Sophia, Rose fell into deep thought.
Sophia hurried to the place agreed with Kathleen. She saw a familiar back from afar. Her eyes moistened.
She was worried that someone was following her and did not dare to run over. She could only move step by step.
Passing by a woman, she called out softly.
“My Kathleen.”
Kathleen was surprised to see her mother recognize her at a glance even in her perfect disguise?
Seeing her confused expression, Sophia smiled helplessly and explained, “You are my daughter. I have raised you for more than twenty years. Even if you turn to ashes, you are still my daughter.”
Kathleen was touched deeply in her heart. Since she risked following Sophia, she had to make it short.
