Chapter 215
Hearing this, Stephanie couldn't help but be taken aback.
Did Martin tell him?
She wanted to become as strong and independent as Gracie.
What did he mean by those words? In the future, would she meet even more annoying people than Mrs. Klein and Ms. Klein?
Stephanie didn't quite understand.
Seeing her baffled expression, Sebastian couldn't help but rub her head, "Don't overthink it. Eventually, you'll know that the world isn't as beautiful as you imagine."
"Alright..." Stephanie, with her head being rubbed under everyone's gaze, had a flushed face, and her ears started to heat up.
Tears filled her eyes, and she looked a little silly.
A hint of laughter flashed in Sebastian's eyes. The girl was at her most obedient and pitiable at this moment.
Katherine watched the interaction between the two, feeling that Sebastian's eyes seemed to only see Stephanie.
She lowered her head disheartened, thinking there was no way she could win against Stephanie anymore. Stephanie had Sebastian; what did she have?
Even if her father intervened personally, he could only bow and kowtow in front of Sebastian. While her mother remained fearless, knowing full-well that Sebastian was backing Stephanie, and she still tried to interfere in the kidney search. This situation had become bigger and bigger, beyond the level that she could meddle in.
So, she took the initiative to say, "Mr. Ingram... I, I'll go back and bring my father here."
Hearing this, Mrs. Klein frowned, "Katherine! What do you mean?"
Katherine no longer dared to look into her mother's eyes and lowered her head, "Mom... This issue has become serious, Dad will find out sooner or later."
"So, you're going to invite your father to please him?" Mrs. Klein asked.
"I... you're his wife, and he'll respect
you. but I'm just one of the
daughters in the Klein family. I don't
have his favor like Angela. I've already been abandoned and arranged for a marriage alliance, and now I'm forced to kneel and apologize because of you. How much more do you want me to do?"
Katherine was truly scared.
She was afraid of Sebastian and her father; the only thing she could do was admit defeat and minimize the damage this situation caused her. Otherwise, she didn't know what the consequences would be.
Mrs. Klein angrily huffed, "How could I raise a daughter like you!"
With that, she stomped out of the room in her high heels.
Katherine's fists clenched tightly. With a bittertone, she told Stephanie, "Stephanie, I've admitted my mistake, and I've knelt down. My mother's actions have nothing to do with me. I'll go back home now and bring my father here."
Stephanie replied indifferently, "Okay! Let your father come. It's about time. I've never seen him in my life."
Katherine looked at her and said, "He actually knows nothing, not even the existence of your mother. It was only after I met you guys in the mall last time that my mother told me."
Stephanie said, "So he can pretend
like nothing happened? I want
justice for my mother today! I really want to know how Morton could make her suffer all these years, having her bearing the humiliation of being pregnant before marriage. My mom was being looked down upon and insulted by her own families.. Her beautiful youth was wasted because of that man. Sometimes I even hate my own existence! If it wasn't for me, would my mother's life have been different? But she's a kind woman. She always feels sorry for me, for not being able to give me a good life. She's never thought of me as a burden, a waste of her beautiful life."
