Chapter 269

Matt's chest heaved as he was so angry at Kate.  0

"It's so easy for you to hurt me because a powerful man supports you. It must've been good having a pussy," Matt sneered. "I am all alone. I'm a good man who has been wronged because you're too petty and heinous!"

Kate humiliated him so many times to the point that he refused to back down now. "You tricked my Mom until she got arrested. You tricked me into blackmailing you, so you could use the video evidence in court, and you also taunted me by intentionally offering six million dollars, knowing I would lose this case!"

"Look at me now. I'm broke! I don't even have ten dollars in my wallet right now because the prenup has been annulled," Matt said. He raised his voice and pointed at Kate, "YOU ARE A FUCKING HEARTLESS BITCH! YOU RUINED MY LIFE!"

"Heh, I can finally beat the shit out of you now," Henry cracked his knuckles. 

Matt got scared instantly. 

Henry was too scared for him, so Matt would subconsciously hunch like a scared turtle and take a step back to avoid conflict. 

But then, he realized this was a courtroom, and knowing Kate, she definitely didn't want Henry to get arrested for assault and battery. 

So he tried to muster his courage and puffed his chest, "Go on and punch me! I will report this to the authorities instead!"

Henry gritted his teeth. He was already pissed.

He didn't care if he had to handle a few thousand dollars for an assault case. But he didn't want to give any compensation to Matt.

Fortunately, Kate also had the same idea. She grabbed Henry's arm to ensure he didn't lose control.

"Don't do anything, Darling. This is just his trick to squeeze some money since he already lost ten million dollars after the prenup was annulled," Kate said.

"But—"

"Stay still, and let me handle this," Kate said confidently. Thus, after ensuring Henry wouldn't jump on Matt, Kate took a step forward toward Matt, and the latter quickly took a step back out of fear.

Kate raised her brows, "Seriously? I get that you might be scared of Henry because he is very intimidating. But I didn't expect you to be scared of me as well. Do I look like a monster to you?"

Matt said nothing, but he was still on guard against Kate.

Kate's awful plan that cost him his ten million dollars was enough to imprint such a terrible image of Kate in his head. He felt this woman wasn't the same woman he married because the Kate he married was gentle and sweet.

She might be a hardworking lady, but she would never fight back when Matt yelled at her.

At most, she would just pretend to be deaf if she didn't want to argue with Matt. 

But this woman…

"You've changed, Kate," Matt said. "You're not the same Katherine that I dated and married five years ago. My Katherine is a sweet girl, unlike you."

"That sweet girl is dead," Kate smiled. "You killed her."

Matt's eyes widened, "What do you mean?"

"You heard it right. You killed her," Kate repeated. "You mocked her every day because she cannot get pregnant. You squeezed her money dry to fulfill your hobby and desire while she worked her bones off. You also squashed the last hope of that sweet girl by sleeping with her sister."

"If you have a remaining brain cell in your head, I think it shouldn't be hard to see why that sweet girl you dated finally gives up on wishing that her husband would improve," Kate said. "Besides, she was not ugly. Far from it. She just hadn't found the right man yet."

Matt swallowed his saliva when he saw a looming figure behind Kate.

His deep emerald eyes were like those of a viper, ready to strike him in case he dared to do anything to Kate. 

Kate smiled after seeing Matt's fear.

As expected, she truly had no more feelings for Matt. Because the only feeling she had when she saw his fear was joy. She was happy seeing him terrified.

'Ah, this is not good for the baby, though. I shouldn't go too far. I don't want my baby to think that they have an evil mother,' Kate thought. 

"I did not ruin your life, Matt. You did it yourself," Kate said. "Your mother entered my Mom's house and took a picture of that newspaper clipping, knowing well that my Mom kept it because she missed my bastard Dad."

"You blackmailed me, knowing fully well that I'm not the one at fault for the whole thing. But you just want a quick ten grand, and you see me as nothing but a cash cow you could squeeze dry," Kate sneered. "You two are a pair of lazy and greedy mother and son. All I did was to act accordingly to protect my dignity and my family's property."

"And all you do right now is trying to find someone else to shift the blame. You don't want to be blamed becuase you're too much of a coward to take responsibility for yourself."

Matt was left speechless when Kate said those words to him.

Deep down, he knew that he was being extremely greedy.

But he never really thought there would be a repercussion of his greed because he had never experienced any setback for the past five years.

All he had to do was ask Kate for money, and if she refused, he'd ask Erin to do it for him. 

Usually, Erin would threaten Kate by calling Hilda and lying about a few things, such as Kate beating her up, so Hilda would get a heart attack.

Hilda had an obvious favorite child and didn't care much about Kate, especially after Kate reported her father's crime and ruined their family's reputation. She would always believe Erin's words no matter what because Erin was her emotional crutch.

This trick worked for years, allowing Erin and Matt to enjoy a lavish lifestyle without having to work at all.
