Initially indifferent to it, Kathryn's perspective shifted as she remembered how the Winchesters had mistreated a woman—her mother. She felt determined not to allow them to continue holding onto what Charlotte had left for her.Benjamin, initially in a sour mood that day, suddenly found delight in Kathryn's words. He nodded. "Don't worry. I'll get it back soon."However, Benjamin wasn't solely interested in recovering the shares. He harbored a desire to hold accountable everyone who had mistreated Charlotte.Unable to wait any longer, he rushed to the hospital after Kathryn made a request.Arthur's condition was critical, and he had already been admitted to the hospital. His face soured when Benjamin suddenly appeared at his ward.While Benjamin felt a twinge of sympathy witnessing Arthur's current state, he quickly got to the point, recalling the mistreatment of Charlotte's belongings by the Winchesters."I'll be direct. Return Kathryn everything Mom left for her immediately."
"Alright. That's all." Susan nodded after concluding her conversation on the phone. She then hung up, but her hand continued to tremble uncontrollably with rage even though everything had been settled.She wanted Kathryn dead.Susan had initially believed that by handing over her share to Benjamin, she could appease him. She was under the assumption that what rightfully belonged to Emma would eventually be hers.However, Susan didn't anticipate that Benjamin would forsake everything for Kathryn, relinquishing any connection with the Winchesters. He refused to let go of even the shares that originally belonged to Emma.With Emma's shares also taken away, Susan found herself with nothing left. All the shares now belonged to Kathryn, including those that once belonged to Harlet and Emma.Infuriated and on the brink of losing her mind, Susan wished for Kathryn to suffer the same fate as hers. The profound changes in her life left Susan with a sense of despair, contemplating giving up
The Winchester family remained in chaos. Benjamin was determined to reclaim everything Charlotte left for Kathryn after discovering the truth.Meanwhile, Jessica was discharged from the hospital. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she witnessed Kelly lying on the bed upon her arrival at Sunshine Bay.Kathryn approached her. "Jessica, I'm sorry."Kathryn harbored a constant sense of guilt about Kelly's situation. Jessica had entrusted her with taking care of Kelly. Yet something like this had to happen. Kathryn was equally upset. Jessica's voice sounded choked as she asked, "What did the doctor say?""He mentioned that once a person reaches this stage, we have to rely on miracles. He advised us to make an effort to talk to her every day."Despite Kathryn spending time conversing with Kelly daily, there was still no response from her, no matter how hard she tried.Silence lingered as Jessica wept.Kathryn recollected that Byron was getting engaged with Cindy when she saw how dep
Kathryn hesitated to disclose to Jessica the truth about Kelly's father being Byron and that he was aware of it. She also refrained from revealing that Byron was getting engaged despite knowing about the situation.Kelly was in a vegetative state, but he didn't care about her at all. He hadn't even given them an explanation yet."You've just finished your surgery. You have to stay calm, okay?" Kathryn said in a soft voice.Jessica closed her eyes. Tears streamed down her cheeks as memories of Kelly's sensible nature flooded her mind. Kelly was such a sensible child. Jessica couldn't understand why she had to suffer all of this. Kelly had done nothing wrong at all.Her breath caught at the thought."Find him for me…" Jessica softly mumbled, appearing almost possessed. The desire to locate the man and exact revenge consumed her.Kathryn's heart ached as she held Jessica in her arms.…Jessica hated both Krista and the man.Meanwhile, Krista had lost contact with Jessica since
Krista, however, had a request at the moment. "Please don't mention it to her now, okay? Give me some time." There was a sense of pleading in her tone as she spoke.Despite not having revealed the truth to Jessica yet, Krista found solace in caring for her.Jessica had been so small when she left her. She had never taken care of Jessica and had never let her experience the love of a mother.Krista had investigated Jessica's childhood. She knew that Wendy had treated Jessica badly. Jessica was like a slave to the family from a young age. Her life was even worse than Kathryn's.Krista believed that, unlike Jessica, Kathryn had Noel to lean on. Despite the hardships, Kathryn wouldn't suffer as much with Noel's love.Krista was distressed by what Jessica had been through. Jessica had been living under Wendy's constant oppression for years.Kathryn nodded as she met Krista's pleading eyes. "I won't tell her."Knowing Jessica's recent successful surgery, Kathryn hesitated to burden he
Krista pondered and took out a card from her bag. She then handed it to Kathryn."What's this?" Kathryn asked."There's one million dollars here. Please give this to Jessica for me." Krista thought she had been thoughtless about it, after all. Jessica hadn't had a good life ever since she had gotten married to Matthew. She didn't really have a job either after she got divorced. Jessica even had to take care of Kelly. Krista was convinced that she lacked sufficient funds.Kathryn frowned.Krista thrust the card into her hand. "You're a smart woman. I know you'll figure out how to give this to her."Kathryn looked at the card in her hand and eventually nodded. "Alright."She thought it wouldn't be a big deal to take Krista's money as she had to make amends with Jessica, after all.Krista was slightly relieved when Kathryn accepted her card.Nobody knew how she managed to get through recently. She had been hoping that she was the one lying on the hospital bed instead whenever
Jessica once only wanted to live a calm and peaceful life with Kelly. That was why she had been working hard and trying her best to care for Kelly after her divorce.Yet, her peace was eventually shattered when it was discovered that Kelly wasn't Matthew's daughter. It had led to a series of problems.Kelly was driven into depression because of the prejudice of the society. She had even gotten into a vegetative state, and here she was, lying unconscious before them. Jessica's once simple wishes had transformed into deep-seated hatred."What desires do you have, then? Tell me. I'll help you…""Kathryn!" Jessica fiercely interrupted Kathryn before she could finish what she intended to say.Kathryn was stunned.Jessica stared right back at Kathryn. Kathryn saw the fierceness in her eyes when their gazes met.The formerly gentle and weary gaze in Jessica's eyes unexpectedly revealed a touch of untamed spirit.The sudden shift in Jessica's behavior left Kathryn feeling stifled.
Jessica displayed unprecedented stubbornness, leaving Kathryn perplexed about what Byron might have done to instill such determination in her.Krista had been waiting outside all the time. Immediately after leaving Sunshine Bay, Kathryn entered the car. Krista wasted no time inquiring, "How did it go? Why did she want to work? Did you give her the money?"Krista seemed somewhat naïve about the situation, assuming that Jessica's desire to work was solely driven by financial need. She thought that by providing the money, Jessica could dedicate her focus to healing without the added urgency of returning to work. Kathryn furrowed her brows as she glanced at Krista. "She's going back to work at Skyline Group.""What?"Krista felt a sudden suffocation upon hearing Kathryn's words. She knew that Jessica had worked at Skyline Group.However, Jessica was unaware of Byron's identity as Kelly's father.With a perplexed look, Krista turned to Kathryn. "Is it necessary for her to go to wo
