The Hughes family was truly grateful to Kate for waking up Steven, and when they heard Kate
mentioning it again, Steven‘s parents exchanged looks with each other. Eventually, Mrs. Hughes
walked toward Kate and held her hands closely.
“Kate, I know you‘re upset. I think Steven is just not in his right mind now because of that b*tch. Don‘t
you worry, though, because we‘re on your side. We‘ll make him change his mind. He won‘t break up
with you.” Mr. Hughes nodded vehemently.
“That‘s right, Kate. Don‘t feel sad. As long as we are still alive, you are the only daughter–in–law we
approve of!” Kate pursed her lips and stopped crying. “Thank you, Mr. Hughes. Thank you, Mrs.
Hughes.” “Sweet girl.” Mrs. Hughes was relieved to see Kate stop crying. She held Kate‘s hand and
wanted to bring her to look for Steven together.
“Nevermind.” Kate sniffed, her voice croaky due to her crying.
“You should all go without me. I don‘t think I should go. I‘m…sure he doesn‘t want to see me.” She
withdrew her hand and sighed sadly.
“After I knew Steven jumped out the window and ran away from home, I had been searching for him.
It‘s already afternoon. My parents are still worried about him, so I need to go home and comfort them.
Steven… If there‘s any problem with him, please contact me anytime.”
Then, she bowed politely at Steven‘s parents and left. The Hughes family merely watched as Kate
walked away. “Kate is such a good person.” Denise sighed and secretly clenched her hands into fists.”
Dad, Mom, you two go ahead and visit Steven first. I want to look into the woman who seduces him!”
Her parents exchanged looks with each other and said with a smile, “Denise, we won‘t stop you from
looking into that woman. However, you have to remember you‘re no match for Joshua. Don‘t act
recklessly. Remember to come to discuss with her once you have gotten any information. Okay?”
Denise pursed her lips and nodded. “I understand.”
She turned and headed to the door to leave the hospital. As she reached the entrance, she saw Kate
getting in a taxi. However, the driver was not driving toward Kate‘s house.
It went in the opposite direction in the west.
The sight baffled her as her brow furrowed. ‘Didn‘t Kate say she was heading hoine? Why is the taxi
heading in the opposite direction?” In the meantime, Kate, sitting in the back of the taxi, took out her
phone with an angry look on her face. “Wait for me at home.”
The man sounded terrified from the other side of the phone. “Kate, can‘t you just tell me on the phone?”
“Do you think we can settle everything over the phone?” Kate snorted. “Wait for me at home. Don‘t try
to play any tricks with me. I‘m sure you know what I‘m capable of.”
It was just two simple sentences, yet the man from the other side of the phone did not dare to say
anything.
After a while, he said, shivering, “I understand…” Only then did Kate hang up the phone. Soon, the taxi
arrived at the destination. It was a mansion situated on the outskirts of the city.
Kate got out of the taxi. The moment she was at the door, she kicked open the door with her leg. She
strode to the living room and stood beside the man who was sitting on the sofa.
She kicked at him vehemently. “I asked you to kill Gwen, and this is how you do it?”
