Chapter 148

—2

Ruining my family.

That sentence had been used by Erin so many times in the past. 

Kate had to admit that she felt very guilty. She knew she could stay ignorant just like her mother, hoping that her father would change to be a better man and try to cover up for all his crimes of being a child predator. 

But Kate still had a conscience in her heart. She tried to follow what her mother said and stayed silent after discovering what he had done.

She felt the pressure from both her father and mother to keep it a secret despite her conscience telling her this was wrong. 

But when he began to molest an underage girl inside the house boldly, she knew there was no help from this man. 

His father was a sick bastard, and she'd rather have her family destroyed than see other girls' lives ruined instead. 

So she became a whistleblower, and Erin had been clutching her neck with the fact that she decided to save many girls' life in their community., 

Kate thought as long as she gave Erin a good life, she would grow up to be a good person, but it seemed to have the reverse effect.

So she did not need to be nice to this bitch.

"So what?" Kate asked. "Yes, I destroyed our family to save many girls' life, so what?"

Erin was caught off guard by the response. She thought that Kate would stay silent and then told her to stop because it would put Kate in a depressive mood.

Erin gritted her teeth, "You know that you're guilty, right? I fucking hate you because you ruined my family life, and you deserve to be ruined as well."

"And you did," Kate said. "You ruined my marriage, my career, and my mental health. We are more or less equal right now, Erin."

Kate scoffed as she knew that Erin wouldn't be satisfied with that answer. She wanted Kate to cry and beg so she would be satisfied. 

"But I know that you're a psycho, that's why you keep tormenting me for your pleasure. So let me set this straight—," Kate's voice was cold and unfeeling, something that Erin felt unfamiliar with. "—I don't give a shit about you anymore. If you want to give me hell, then I will drag you into the same hell, Erina Ross."

"From now on, we are not sisters anymore. You're nothing but a filthy bitch to me, good bye."

Beep.

—

Erin was caught off guard by her sister's boldness to fight back. She even dared to declare war against her and disown Erin as her sister.

Erin's body trembled with rage. She clutched the phone until her knuckles were white. She had a crooked smile as she tried to hold herself from screaming like a mad woman, "How dare she challenge me when she's already in a bad situation like this? Does she not realize that she has already lost against me?"

"Just you wait, Sis. You can't just 'disown' me like that. I'm not done tormenting you. I will make sure that you will never find a job anymore!" Erin vowed. "And don't you think that I don't know how to do that. I have a powerful man ready to do anything I want, including destroying your life completely."

**

A week had passed since Kate flew to San Francisco to rest and escape from the neverending torment that Erin did. She had been in a great mood for the past week. She could finally focus on reading the manuscripts she had to evaluate and had a good night's sleep as she didn't need to think about that bitch Erin or deadbeat Matt.

But Henry wasn't so lucky.

His days were filled with torture as he was really busy without the presence of a Chief Editor to help him, and he still had to cater to Erin, who kept on pestering him, wanting to have free time together.

Unfortunately, Michael was taking his time in Greenland. It seemed that he preferred the cold temperature rather than staying with this cold bitch. 

Fortunately, Henry could always use the reason that he was very busy with work, so he couldn't cater to her useless need for being a whore. 

"Mr. Grant~ Come on, why are you still in the office at this hour?" Erin complained as she checked her watch. "Nobody is in the office anymore at this point, let's just go to your apartment or one of your very expensive mansion, and do somethinggg!" 

Erin tried to hug Henry, who was still busy reading a few documents stacked on his desk. He sighed and replied, "I still have a lot to do, Erin. You can go home now."

Erin pouted, "Come on, it's been a week since my sister left. Why don't we celebrate it with a hot night together?"

Henry clenched the document in his hand but tried his best to stay calm. He tried to ignore Erin as much as possible since it was difficult for him not to snap at her now. 

Erin kept pestering her boss, but her seduction was cut short when Mai suddenly appeared in front of them and put another stack of documents for her boss, "There is more?!" Henry asked as he got shocked.

"Yes, Sir. Since Mr. Eckermann has been out of the office for the past week alongside Mrs. Woods, then you have to handle the job of Chief Editor and Co-Manager at the same time. There is a lot to do, Sir."

Henry felt that he could faint right now. But he could only sigh and continued to read the document he had to check. 

Erin glared at Mai, and the latter said, "Leave Mr. Grant alone to do his job. He doesn't need to be pestered by a rat like you."

"Rat? Hah! Are you talking about yourself?" Erin sneered. "You are small and ugly, just like a real rat."

"And you belong in the street, just like a real rat," Mai said with a bad smile.

Henry was trying to focus on his documents, but these two were too annoying, so he snapped, "Can you two fight outside? I'm trying to work here!"

Erin flinched when she heard Mr. Grant yell at her, but Mai didn't seem surprised. Instead, She shifted her gaze at Mr. Grant and said, "Sir, I also want to remind you about your business trip to Canada. Mr. Eckermann has prepared everything you need and you need to go as soon as possible."
