I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

Chapter 360 Given what Rhea's friends had just said , it was obvious why Kate had come to see Rhea now . George was making the Pearson family pay for Kate's backstabbing . As his girlfriend , there was no way Rhea could be a hindrance . Liora glanced at her expression and said , " It's late . We should get going . " Rhea didn't try to stop them . Instead , she walked them to the door herself . From a distance , she saw a delicate figure under a white umbrella . She looked so fragile that anyone who looked at her would feel a pang of sympathy . Just then , her phone buzzed .

Rhea answered the call . " Hello ? " " Did Kate go to see you ? " George asked . " She's at my front gate , " Rhea replied , lowering her eyes . " Don't worry . I won't go against your wishes . " George chuckled . " My queen really is clever . " Rhea felt a little shy . " What are you doing ? " " Just wrapping up some work . Should I pick you up for supper later ? " " Okay . " Rhea readily agreed as she wasn't on any diet . Outside the house , her friends passed the gate . Kate stood under her umbrella , staring straight at the Ravelle residence . Her face was pale , and her gaze was cold .

Liora seemed like she wanted to say something , but Valerie tugged her hand . Liora looked at her , and Valerie just shook her head slightly . Since things had come this far , there was no point in trying to reason with Kate or waste any more words . But Carolyn couldn't hold back . " Kate , we considered you our best friend , yet you stabbed Rhea in the back . And now you have the nerve to come see her ? " Kate didn't look at her , ignoring her entirely . Over the past few days , she had already felt the icy distance from her friends . They were all clearly siding with Rhea .

Kate turned slightly , her eyes taking in all their faces . " Rhea's family is stronger than mine . I understand why you're all standing with her . After all , it's human nature to put oneself first . " Valerie , who was about to get into her car , stopped at those words . She turned back and met Kate's gaze before approaching her . " In your eyes , you think we're all siding with Rhea and paying no attention to you . But first , you should look at what you've done .

We'd like to help you , too , but we're honestly afraid that if we ever took something you care about , you'd stab us in the back just the same . " Liora stayed silent , unwilling to hurt Kate . Carolyn suddenly shouted , " Being friends with someone like you is nerve - wracking ! You actually did something like that just for a man . You really disgust me ! Fortunately , George's not into you , or you'd be strutting around and sniping at Rhea ! " Evelyn tugged her . " Enough . " But Carolyn wasn't done . " Why are you pulling me? She's the one at fault !

If you do wrong , you should expect to get scolded ! 1/2 Chapter 360 +25 BONUS Does she dare say that she came to apologize to Rhea ? She only thought of Rhea when she ran into trouble . Listen , Kate , be a sincere person . What goes around comes around . " Evelyn quickly pushed Carolyn into the car . Once inside , Carolyn's eyes were red with anger . " Who does she think she is ? We all saw what Rhea went through . That bastard treated her like trash . And Kate still had the nerve to do this ? What kind of friend does that ? " Evelyn tried to calm her .

" If you don't like her , don't be friends . Don't cry . " " I told my folks about it , and they told me to stay away from people who pretend to be righteous . I guess they were right . Most heartless people in this world are the educated ones ! " Carolyn scoffed . Chapter 361
