I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

Chapter 568 +25 BONUS Kate's words echoed in Sylvia's mind . What did she want ? Tell her straight ? Sylvia couldn't help but laugh . Not at Kate's arrogance , but because those words were exactly what Connor had said back then , word for word ! Could a person's viciousness really be inherited so perfectly ? What a tragedy for humanity . " What are you laughing at ? " Kate was irritated . " Just tell me . " She felt anxious . It was getting dark , and if she wasn't at the hospital when Sawyer returned , she feared he would worry . " What do I want ?

" Sylvia fixed her gaze on Kate and patiently asked , " What do you think I want ? " Kate looked at Sylvia , her gaze conveying that she had expected this . She didn't really want to look down on these mediocre people , but their presence just reeked of cheapness . What could people from a remote town want ? Nothing but fame and fortune . " I'll give you some money and find you a place to live , but that'll be the end of it . How about that ? " Kate offered . She had some money now .

The engagement gift Sawyer had given her before their engagement was more than enough to put someone like Sylvia in her place . A flicker of madness crossed Sylvia's eyes . " You think money is what I need ? " Kate's gaze was dripping with disdain . " If not , what then ? Don't tell me that you don't care about money . You worked so hard to get into Draventh University . Wasn't it for wealth and status ? I can hand it to you now and save you the trouble . " Ms. Burton , you don't need to play both sides . You're bringing up old matters after all these years . Isn't it just money you want ?

Or are you after something more ? " Her words labeled Sylvia as greedy . For anyone else , this might have been enough to make them back down . But the person before her was Sylvia , a mental patient . Sylvia smiled . " You actually guessed right . I don't want money . Money can't buy back my past or my dreams , but it can buy the life I want . Isn't that right ? " Kate frowned , a sense of unease creeping in . Sylvia continued slowly , " I don't want money or a house . I want you ... out of Sawyer's life . " " What ? " Kate lost her composure . She glared at her . " You're really insane !

How dare you even have thoughts 1/3 Chapter 568 about him ! " Sylvia blinked . " Why can't I ? Your father did something so despicable , and you think money can cover it up ? " Kate glared at her for a long moment , then suddenly turned her anger into a smile . " Fine . If you're not willing to settle , go ahead and take it to court . You have no proof , right ? If you did , you wouldn't have waited all these years . In the end , you'll walk away with nothing . " Sylvia just smiled . " And forget about Sawyer ! You don't deserve to even say his name !

You have the same last name , but you're worlds apart . " Kate's disdain for Sylvia was apparent . " You love him that much ? " Sylvia's voice softened unexpectedly . Kate didn't answer directly . " What does that have to do with you ? " " And does he love you ? How much does he love you ? " A subtle change flickered in Sylvia's eyes . She remembered the moment she had spoken out at the engagement party . Sawyer hadn't flinched in surprise . All she saw in his eyes was deep , restrained concern for her .
