Kaitlyn's brow furrowed as she questioned, "Then why?" Alexander, in response, withdrew his hand, rose to his
feet, and placed a deliberate distance between them.
"Does the reason truly matter if it aligns with your intentions?" he countered. Kaitlyn found herself reluctantly
agreeing with his logic, even though it irked her. Feeling unjustly treated, she couldn't help but brush away the
tears trickling down her cheeks.
"Do you despiseso much now, even when I've been nothing but considerate towards you? | must truly be a
failure as a mother," she lamented.
Alexander's gaze bore into her, his face a mask of impassivity. "I do despise you, but | believe I've treated you
fairly," he declared coldly. Kaitlyn's eyes widened in disbelief, her pupils trembling as she looked up at Alexander.
"What did you just say?" she asked.
His voice, devoid of any warmth, echoed in the room, "I've said it before. Things are not the sas they were
when | was a child."
"Was your sacrifice truly for me? The only right thing you did was going to the Kennedys.
Everything else has nothing to do with you. Don't make yourself out to be a martyr," he continued, his words
cutting through the silence like a knife. Kaitlyn was taken aback by his harsh words, her gaze flickering between
shock and disbelief as she stared at Alexander.

will ca day when it must be repaid. | hope you can conduct yourself appropriately and not hasten that day's
arrival." His words pierced Kaitlyn's heart like sharp blades. Slowly, she rose to her feet and approached
Alexander, tears welling up in her eyes. Suddenly, she raised her hand, poised to slap Alexander.
But her hand was intercepted mid-air by Alexander, who gripped her wrist and looked down at her. "If there's
nothing else, you should leave," he said dismissively.
Kaitlyn trembled with rage, struggling to find words. Each tshe realized that Alexander was beyond her
control, she was filled with an unprecedented sense of anger, helplessness, and deep-seated fear.
Kaitlyn tugged at her wrist, forcefully pulling it from Alexander's grip. She shot him one last glance before
grabbing her bag, gritting her teeth, and declaring, "Fine, you've grown up. Don't acknowledgeas your
mother. Just remember to keep your word about the divorce, or | won't lift a finger to help you!" With that, she
stormed out of the room, her high heels clicking angrily against the floor. The people around them pretended as
if they didn't exist.
Alexander, on the other hand, regarded Kaitlyn's visit as a minor interruption. He showed no particular reaction,
as if she had never been there. He turned and ascended the stairs as if nothing had transpired. Upon reentering
the bedroom, he found Quinn awake. She was looking around the room, her eyes filled with confusion.
Quinn couldn't quite recall what had transpired. All she remembered was Alexander promising to take her out for
her birthday. But why was she in bed now?
