169: Chapter 169

Chapter 169

"But… I will miss you…" Hilda was sad when she heard that she couldn't contact her youngest daughter anytime soon.  0

Erin held a special place in her heart. She was the emotional crutch that Hilda clung to for years after her husband was jailed for plenty of child rape. She wanted to get close to her oldest daughter, but she simply couldn't do it because she kept resenting what Kate did to their family.

Kate ruined their family and destroyed her reputation by reporting what Hilda's husband did to those young girls, so Hilda had to work two low-paying jobs out of town while raising two girls because everyone simply closed their doors on her.

They shunned her and refused to help even though Hilda was in a difficult situation.

And it was all because of her oldest daughter.

Of course, she knew what Kate did was morally correct, but was it worth all the embarrassment, shunning, and pain she had to endure?

Why couldn't Kate simply walk away and pretend she didn't see anything that her Dad did to those girls?

They truly had an amazing life before Kate called the cops.

'I don't care if you miss me or not, you old bitch. You can rot in that nursing home. Just stop bothering me!' Erin said in her heart. But she knew her mother might die because of it, and she couldn't torture Kate anymore. 

So she replied, "It's okay, Mom. Don't worry. I will send you gifts, pictures, and even souvenirs whenever I feel like it."

"Anyway, I am very busy right now," Erin said. "Bye Mom, I'll talk to you later."

Erin hung up the call first. She knew that Hilda and Kate were feeling awkward right now. Kate felt so guilty about what she did to destroy her own family, and Hilda was too resentful of it.

"Hihi, I want to know what kind of face Kate makes right now. I bet she's in tears because she knows that she'll lose all of her assets."

**

Kate and Hilda went quiet instantly when Erin hung up the call abruptly. They were still on the call, but none wanted to start a conversation due to awkwardness.

But Kate knew that her mother would probably just hang up on her. So she said, "You heard it yourself, Mom. I don't have a fight with Erin. She's just busy with her own stuff. She found a new man, and that means she will be very busy with her new man and ignore you instead."

Hilda sighed, "I don't know if I can survive through this, Kate. Why are you sending me to this nursing home? I'm doing just fine in my home."

"You're not doing fine, Mom. You could get a mini heart attack any time, and you passed out in the bathroom at least twice this month. You need a dedicated caretaker," Kate insisted. "And you don't need to worry about Erin. I will call her often and ask her to send me souvenirs, photos, and even voice mails."

"It can't be helped in the end…" Hilda murmured. "Thank you for allowing me to call her Kate. I know that we don't have a good relationship, but I'm asking you as your mother. Please treat Erin well, make sure that she is happy."

"Oh, she's such a sweet precious child of mine. Now she has grown up and forgets about her own mother…." Hilda said.

"Oh, don't worry, Mom, I will take care of her. You don't need to worry about her ever again," Kate said. She had a big grin as she said the last sentence because the call just now would be the last call between Hilda and Erin.

"Thank you, Kate."

Beep.

After she was done with her Mom, Kate called Erin back to 'seal the deal.'

—

"So, how was it, Sis? She didn't get another mini heart attack just because I hung up the call, right?" Erin rolled her eyes. "Seriously, that old bitch is just so dramatic for no reason at all!"

"She's doing fine now," Kate said. Her voice became colder after they ended the call with their mother.

Erin could sense the nonchalant and coldness in Kate's voice. But Erin brushed it off, thinking that it was just her paranoia.

'Heh, there is no way Kate would be able to fight back now. She can't do anything since Mom is always on my side, and she'll lose all of her assets,' Erin thought. 'And soon, she will find herself unable to find a job afterI told Henry to help me. I want her to suffer for the rest of her life!'

"Don't forget to give me all of your assets once I return to America, Sis. I want literally everything, you know."

"Why are you doing this to me, Erin?"

"Ha? Didn't I tell you before?" Erin sighed. "It's simply because you're too kind and stupid. It's the perfect recipe for someone to get bullied, hihi."

"… alright, I will give you all of my assets once you return to America, I promise," Kate said. She paused momentarily and added, "I doubt you'll ever return to America, though."

"Hah? What do you—"

Beep.

— 

Erin clicked her tongue when Kate hung up the call. 

She knew that Kate must've been crying in her room right now, and she couldn't wait to see her cry until her tears ran dry!

"Hihi, it feels so good to see her suffering. I mean, no offense, it's just kind of my hobby to see her feeling burdened with everything," Erin said. "It's her fault that she's just so stupid."

**

Kate was finally finished with Erin. She smirked as she knew that Erin wouldn't be a problem anymore.

"With this, my mother will not ask about Erin anymore. I can just send her fake letters, souvenirs, and even fake voicemails just to keep her happy," Kate said. "Now everything depends on Henry. I hope there's nothing wrong with our mission."
