When Zack heard what Katherine said, he frowned.
"Wait, I'm also six feet tall"
‘However, I'm much more capable than these losers, and I can fight without holding back” Zack thought
to himself.
"Yes, Mr.Colburn, you're really tall"
Katherine was startled, and it was rare for that to happen.
After she gave a perfunctory compliment, she threw the baseball bat and walked towards the side road
to wait for a taxi.
Meanwhile, Zack was dissatisfied with the cold and empty praise.He immediately followed her to the
side of the road and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Zack, I'm not in a good mood today, so please, don't do anything that will provoke me again" Katherine
said and glanced sideways.
Katherine knew that if he would provoke her again, she didn't know what else she could do.
Zack knew the reason why Katherine was in a bad mood.
It was because her neighbor accepted the bribe and exposed everything.It was the second day of the
new year when Katherine's parents got involved in a car accident.
Her parents were on their way back to her grandmother's house when her father tried to avoid the man
who ran through the red light and crashed into a big truck, getting crushed under it.
They were dead in an instant.
Actually, Katherine's grandparents had other grandkids.
However, her grandmother, Amelia Wilson, preferred boys rather than girls.
The grandmother also intended to save money for the future of her grandson.
Katherine had lived with her grandmother for a long time, and for those years, she had received
scolding and, sometimes, corporal punishment.
When Katherine's parents figured it out, they couldn't help but feel disappointed.
That was why her parents decided to cut ties with her grandmother.
When Katherine was five years old, her grandmother would always take her to the welfare home that
she built for business.
Then, one day, Amelia was confused and did not know whether it was intentional or unintentional to
leave Katherine behind.
Fortunately, the orphanage director who saw Katherine felt pity for her and took her in for a night.
The next day, a rich couple came to the orphanage to choose children that they would adopt.
However, among the dozens of children in the orphanage, Katherine stood out.
When the rich couple talked to the director about Katherine, Amelia had accidentally heard it.
The rich couple liked Katherine very much and said that if Katherine agreed to the adoption, they would
donate a million dollars to the orphanage.
When Amelia heard about the million-dollar donation, she began to conduct a plan.
The director had told the rich couple that Katherine was not an orphan that belonged in the orphanage.
He even further explained that Katherine was just a child that was left by her parents under orphanage
care for the meantime.
The rich couple were disappointed and were ready to leave when Amelia appeared out of nowhere and
declared that Katherine was already an orphan.
She even told the rich couple that she found Katherine on the mountainside.She told them that she was
the one who raised Katherine.
Amelia was making a deal with the rich couple that if they would really like to adopt Katherine, they
must pay her a huge sum of money.
The rich couple was unwilling at first, but Amelia told them that Katherine was a talented genius girl
who could easily learn math through her brother's book when she was at her pre-school age.
She also said that her skin was soft and delicate.
Amelia even told them that, by just a glance, Katherine didn't look like a child that came from a poor
family.
The rich man's wife wanted to have a daughter.
Unfortunately, it was impossible for her to do so because her husband was sterile.
For the past few years, she kept on searching for children to adopt in the orphanage.
And true enough, fate had its own way to people because, after all those years, she had found
someone whom she wanted to adopt.
The moment she set her foot in the orphanage, her attention was caught by Katherine.
Moreover, just by looking at Katherine from a distance, she looked really pitiful.
She was only wearing a thin and worn-out sweater without any thick covering that would shield her
from the cold weather.
The rich man’s wife pitied the latter's situation and eventually gave two-hundred thousand dollars to
Katherine's grandmother.
Although her grandmother wanted a million dollars, she thought that two hundred thousand dollars
were not a small amount of money.
After her grandmother received it, she hurriedly told the rich couple to wait for her as she was going to
pack Katherine's things.
After Katherine heard it, she followed the rich couple back to the gas station and tried to contact her
parents through the police's phone.
Katherine's parents had completely cut off their contact with Amelia and took custody of her.
That year, Amelia fell ill and was admitted to the hospital.
She was already in critical condition at that time.
Amelia's doctor called Katherine's parents for them to visit her.
Since Celia Wilson, Katherine's mother, didn't want Katherine to remember what she had gone through,
they left early in the morning and planned to come back as soon as possible.
Yes, they did come back.
However, they came back to Katherine as two lifeless bodies that no one would even dare to look at.
