"Dowry? She's asking for a dowry? Which woman in Everburn Highlands would ask for dowries? Such nonsense," Wendy thought.Jessica was coaxing Kelly to sleep when she heard them arguing. She hurriedly came out of the house and asked, "What happened? Why are you arguing?"When Wendy saw Jessica, she pointed angrily at Kathryn before turning back to Jessica and complaining, "Do you think it has been easy for me? Do you? I've worked so hard to raise you all. Do you think that was easy? Now you're asking me for dowries?""Didn't you also ask me for dowry too?" Kathryn sneered.Easy?She talked about how hard it was on her. But who would have it easy in this world?Was she the only one who had it tough? Was it easy for her grandmother, who had raised her?Wendy was infuriated by her response. "I am your mother! You're the one I worked hard to give birth to! Don't I deserve some money?"Wendy still had the guts to speak about what she deserved.Kathryn appeared even angrier.Just as

Wendy's expression froze at Karen's words. "I … Mrs. Quinton, you've got it wrong! It's her!"Karen interrupted, "I don't care what you're planning. But my son, Matthew, is not as foolish as your neighbor's daughter."It's best for you to settle these family matters once and for all. Jessica had married into our family. So, everything will be decided by the Quinton family. You better wake up from those fantasies!"Karen made her words clearer than before.Wendy's face turned pale before turning red as she listened. Although Karen's statement was reasonable, Jessica was still upset at her words.Holding back her anger, Wendy replied, "That's not true, Mrs. Quinton. When Jessica married into your family, our families got united. How could families be divided like that? Don't you think so?" "Who said we'll be one family?" Karen's anger surged instantly.She no longer kept her calm. She fiercely retorted, "In all the years that Jessica has been married into our family, we haven't g

Jessica looked at Wendy blankly as tears streamed down her face. "Are you satisfied now?" she asked."No, Jessica, I …""I'll be divorced tomorrow. Are you happy now?" Jessica cried out in anger.After enduring years of abuse from Wendy, she finally met her breaking point when Karen brought up divorce.Wendy was about to say something before Jessica interrupted, "Are you satisfied now? Are you?""Jessica," Kathryn quickly held her back. She tried to think of something to say to calm her down. However, just thinking about Wendy's actions left her speechless.Wendy added, "I'm not the one who requested your divorce. It's your mother-in-law. She has gone too far!"Seeing Jessica like this, Wendy shifted all the blame onto Karen. Yet, tonight's incident was undoubtedly caused by Wendy's actions. It was all because of her!Jessica slumped onto the ground."Kathryn, you should go back first," she said with a sunken expression.At that moment, Jessica realized that her marriage

Kathryn hadn't expected Jessica's emotions to escalate to such an extent. She was even willing to risk her life to protect Kathryn. Wendy was also taken aback by Jessica's extreme behavior. "Wh-What are you doing? Put the knife down.""Jessica, put the knife down!" Kathryn was also shocked. She looked at Jessica anxiously.Jessica's voice softened as she said, "Kathryn, be a good girl and leave first.""But how can I leave you like this?" Kathryn's voice was strained, almost suffocating."How can I calm down if you're here? Please go, okay?" Jessica regretted calling Kathryn over and not being more assertive earlier. Why had she let Wendy continue to wreak havoc in her life?Seeing Jessica's current state, Kathryn couldn't leave her without worrying. Controlling her tone, she approached Jessica and urged, "My dear sister, please put the knife down.""Leave. I'm begging you. Please go!" Jessica's emotions grew even more turbulent as Kathryn approached. She pressed the knife agai

Kathryn ran out of the narrow alley and saw Chris' car parked under the orange streetlight in the distance. Even though he was quite far away, she could still make out his sharp profile inside the vehicle.The intense scene just moments ago and the current image of Chris waiting for her was the complete opposite. One made her feel suffocated, while the other briefly calmed her emotions.She stumbled into the car. Chris ended his call and glanced at her as she closed the door. He frowned. "What's wrong? You look so pale."Upon saying that, he reached out and touched her forehead. It wasn't feverish, which eased his worry.However, Kathryn's eyes were reddened as she looked at him.Chris was taken aback by her gaze. "What happened?"Kathryn asked, "Have you been waiting here all this time?"Chris nodded and checked his watch. It had been nearly an hour since she went in. He started the car, ready to leave immediately. But Kathryn stopped him. "Wait.""What's the matter?" Chris

Chris let out a sigh and dialed a number on his phone. It was one of the company employees who lived nearby. He instructed them to go and check the situation inside. Seeing him make arrangements warmed up Kathryn's heart.Over the years, no matter what happened, her first thought was always about how to solve the issue. It was because she could only rely on herself. But now, Chris gave her a sense of security she had never had before.After finishing the call, Chris said, "Wait for ten minutes."Kathryn nodded. "Okay."Seeing that Chris wasn't rushing to leave, she felt much more reassured. She was genuinely worried about Jessica. Considering Jessica's trembling figure and the desperation she felt tonight, Kathryn wondered how much pain she must have been in to resort to such actions.On the other hand, Matthew had returned to the house. Wendy wanted to tell Matthew about Karen's actions. Just as Karen came out of the room, a heated argument between the two sides erupted. Finally,

An ambulance wailed as it came. Simultaneously, Chris' phone rang. Kathryn wasn't sure what was said on the other end, but his expression suddenly changed.Seeing Chris' expression shift, Kathryn's heart leaped to her throat. "Yes, alright. You should go back first," Chris said before ending the call. He then turned to Kathryn, who nervously asked, "What happened?"Chris replied, "Something happened at your sister's place."Hearing that Jessica was in trouble, Kathryn's heart trembled. She was never particularly brave, and now she was utterly terrified. "What happened?""The police and ambulance are there. We'll get the details when we head over."The caller didn't explain in detail on the phone. He only knew there was a commotion in the Quinton family courtyard. Even the neighbors were there, but the caller didn't tell him exactly what happened.Kathryn shuddered at the mention of police and ambulance. She didn't need to think twice to guess that Wendy had caused trouble again.

The doctor was undergoing emergency treatment for Jessica. Matthew and Karen were very worried about her. Nobody was able to reply to Kathryn's question.Kathryn's tears fell, and her gaze kept on Jessica's pale face. She dared not look away from her."I didn't! I swear I didn't!" Wendy said in bewilderment aside. Jessica's heartbeat recovered, and the staff carried her into the ambulance.Matthew and Karen wanted to follow into the ambulance, but Matthew stopped Karen. "Kelly's at home. You have to stay.""Okay. Do you have enough cash with you? I'll give you some." Karen was tense, but there was no sign of her usual dispute. She really wanted to follow the ambulance to the hospital. Matthew shook his head. "I think I have enough."Kathryn also wanted to follow, but Karen stopped her. "You have to stay. There's something you need to settle."Kathryn couldn't rest assured, but the ambulance door had closed and left. It was then that Kathryn finally glanced at Wendy, who was k

A meaningful smile crossed Chris' lips as he stared at Kathryn's back while she left hastily."Did she think that everyone's obsessed with money like her?" Chris thought.When Kathryn arrived at the emergency room, Matthew was pacing back and forth worriedly outside. Kathryn stepped forward and called him.Matthew nodded. "You're here."Kathryn wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. None of them were present when tonight's incident happened. She only knew the knife was in Jessica's hand when she left. She guessed it might be that Jessica tried to defend her, and things eventually went out of control. After some time had passed, the doctor emerged from the emergency room. Matthew approached him as the doctor removed his mask and asked, "Sir, what's my wife's condition?"Matthew was no doubt anxious. Kathryn had always believed both Matthew and Karen were cold and indifferent. But when Jessica was brought into the ambulance that night, she realized that some people

Kathryn stayed by Jessica's side until Matthew returned. Only when Matthew reassured Kathryn that he would always be by Jessica's side did Kathryn finally agree to leave. Still, she wasn't completely reassured. Jessica, too, urged her to go. It was already 4:00 am when she returned to Rexton Manor from the hospital. She was so tired that she immediately lay down on the couch. She wanted to sleep, but Chris dragged her out and said, "Go and have a bath.""I don't want to." Kathryn was exhausted. Plus, she was still worried about Jessica. So, she had no motivation to do anything else.Chris raised his brows. "I'll help you, then?"Chris was a neat freak. He couldn't bear the thought of Kathryn sleeping on the couch without bathing. He feared she would dirty it.Kathryn quickly jumped up from the couch after she heard him say so. "I'll do it myself."She rushed to the bathroom immediately after.As Kathryn was taking a shower, she realized a serious problem. She had forgotten to g
