I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

Chapter 392 Kate panicked at once . Her usually sharp mind blanked , and she blurted , " Rhea , you and Carter are already divorced . Is it really appropriate to call him ? " She meant to stop Rhea from making the call , but in her nervousness , she hadn't thought her words through . They slipped out in a way that almost made it sound like she was subtly undermining Rhea in front of George . Rhea glanced at her and let out a soft laugh . " I'm just asking him to come to the hospital . George and I need to go home . Why are you so flustered ? " Kate's heart skipped a beat .

Only then did she realize that she had overreacted . However , she quickly composed herself . " I see . You two can go . I can help you take care of them for a bit . " At that moment , all of Rhea's suspicions from before were confirmed . Kate had been involved in the children's poisoning . Even if she hadn't directly participated , she had to have known about it . But Rhea didn't think that Carter was stupid enough to poison his own kids . Besides , his behavior didn't suggest it , and he wasn't that good at acting . So ... Was it Lauren ? Or was it Kate ?

Rhea's gaze lingered on Kate for a long moment . " George , can you step outside for a moment ? " George rose . " I'll be at the door . Call me if you need anything . " His compliance made Kate grit her teeth . From his words , it was clear that he wasn't comfortable leaving Rhea alone with her . She wondered if she really seemed that vicious in his eyes . Kate couldn't help but let out a quiet , amused laugh . " You do wicked things , yet worry about how others might judge you . Kate , if you've become like this because of love that has turned into hatred , I can't accept that .

Don't blame your dark thoughts on love . Besides , you're not needed here . I won't trust you with the kids . After all , our trust has long been broken . " Kate raised her head , her gaze cool and indifferent . " And what about you , Rhea ? Is it really appropriate for you to be here ? " " Weren't you the one who unilaterally sent the kids to me ? Put simply , anyone can watch the kids , just not you . You don't have the right . " Rhea then stood . " I think you don't need to come here anymore . Your mother is sick . You should be taking care of her .

Don't end up losing her and then try to tell the world I watched coldly as she passed . " Kate had a history of twisting things around . Her lashes trembled slightly . " So that's how you see me . I always thought that even with our differences , we still shared a bond . You had no one helping you in Colburn , but at least you have us in Draventh . " Rhea felt that Kate was utterly hypocritical and let out a small laugh . " I thought you came here to say that you had the medicine to save the kids and maybe wanted to make a deal with me or George . " Her words exposed all of Kate's thoughts .

She froze for a full three seconds . " I ... I did find the medicine to save the kids . That's why I came to discuss it with you . " " I'll go with you , then . There's no need to involve George . He's busy , but I have time , " Rhea said , her eyes fixed on Kate . Chapter 392 +25 BONUS Kate tucked a lock of hair behind her ear . " I think it's better if George comes .

If something irreversible happens , we'd all regret it . Don't you agree ? "
