“Lena! You just recovered from a serious injury. Who do you think you can protect? Can you protect anyone?”
Chris’s frustration grew.
He recalled how he had urgently rescued her from near-death, covered her medical and living costs, arranged a
place for her to recover, and even transformed into a home chef, making various dishes every day. He had treated
her like royalty…
Yet, what about her? She appeared entirely unappreciative!
He had nurtured her back to health so she could endanger herself once more for someone else?
Chris erupted in anger, exclaiming, “You’ve barely healed from your wounds. Can’t you look after yourself?”
The car fell into silence. The driver braked, glancing at the normally composed Hamerton heir through the rearview
mirror, perplexed by his sudden outburst.
Lina gently nudged Lena, signaling her to move to the back.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLena remained unmoved.
The incensed Chris was not finished. He turned to Zuko and shouted, “You’re responsible for your wife’s safety!”
Zuko knitted his eyebrows. “Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed again?”
Chris crossed his arms, sulking as he turned his gaze out the window.
Lina and Zuko exchanged a glance and chuckled.
To Lina, this wasn’t just a young man’s shattered heart but fragments of that broken heart cruelly flung at everyone
around him.
The cars swiftly halted at the mountain’s base.
The Thompson bodyguards were once members of gangs. They were not just quick but also skilled in
understanding the terrain, which helped them catch up to Kaitlyn effortlessly.
Kaitlyn was driven to a cliff. She stood near the edge, her hair tangled by the wind, and her expression grew darker.
Renee dashed ahead of everyone without hesitation. She came close to Kaitlyn and stopped abruptly.
“Renee, you’re here,” Kaitlyn greeted with a smile.
Renee’s heart skipped a beat. This woman wasn’t her real mother—her true mother’s smile was different, filled with
love, even in her eyes.
“Renee, why did you bring all these people here? Did I… Did I cause trouble again?” Kaitlyn held her forehead,
seeming to struggle. “My head hurts so much… Renee, what’s happening to me?”
“Mom, why did you go out alone? Why did you have people hurt Toph?” Renee’s voice trembled. “Toph had to stay
in the ICU for a long time because of the accident!”
“Are you here to question me?” Kaitlyn’s smile didn’t reach her eyes. “Hah, that brat can forget about breaking up
with you. He deserves whatever comes to him!”
“Mom!” Renee’s voice rose, “It’s not him breaking up with me. It’s me wanting to break up with him!”
“It’s a breakup either way.” Kaitlyn’s gaze had a strange glint. “Renee, don’t won’t be apart… You’re going to marry
into the Hamertons. You’ll make that jerk Melvin pay me back!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRenee stepped back, her heart aching.
“Aunt Kaitlyn, watch closely!” Lina stepped forward, gripping Renee’s shoulder. “She’s Renee, your daughter! When
Melvin asked her to act as me, you told her not to take what’s not hers. Renee is honest and kind, just like you! But
you… What did you just say?”
“Honest and kind? Hahaha!” Kaitlyn laughed maniacally.
“What’s the use?” she yelled. “Things like this, intangible, only get exploited!”
Kaitlyn continued to gaze at Lena, who stood behind Lina, while she spoke. Her look seemed evasive.
However, Lena stepped forward with a mocking smile and positioned herself in front of Lina and Renee.
“Why do you have this expression?” Lena grinned. “Like you’ve seen a ghost upon seeing me?”
“You…”
“I’m sorry I didn’t die.” Lena’s demeanor turned icy. “Not only am I alive, but I’m also here to avenge myself!”
“Lena!” Lina pulled her back and shook her head.
Renee spoke with determination. “Please don’t harm my mom!”
Then she told Kaitlyn, “Mom, I realize this isn’t truly you… You’re unwell, battling dissociative identity disorder. This
voice is from another side of you. To be exact, you’re not my mom but a monster lurking within her!”
“So you’ve figured out so much?” Kaitlyn tilted her chin. “Just as I’d expect from my daughter!”
