I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

Chapter 602 Early the following day , Kate huddled up in her room to hide from Sawyer's torment . She thought about the past few months , feeling like she'd been stuck in a dream . Initially , she'd thought that she'd met her lucky charm , her true love , and a godlike man who favored her . But now , she was stuck in this manor like a trapped beast in a cage , not even knowing what had changed . She'd pondered this question for a long time , but she still didn't have an answer . She figured that she needed to get one .

She couldn't suffer such torment without even knowing why , nor could she take the fall for someone else . She was positive that she hadn't done anything to offend Sawyer from the day they'd met up until this point . Someone knocked on the bedroom door , making Kate jolt . " Who is it ? " Taryn said , " Ms. Pearson , you need to get out of bed and get to your chores . " Kate's temper flared , and she opened the door . " I'm still Sawyer's wife . He and I are facing some problems now , but that's no excuse for you to treat me like this . " How dare Taryn order her around !

Didn't she know that there was a disparity between their statuses ? Taryn had argued with Kate the other day over the chicken soup . No one wanted to take on the task of ordering Kate around . After all , they didn't know whether she and Sawyer would make up in the future . Thus , they didn't think that it would be a good idea to thoroughly offend her . Taryn didn't care about that , though . She despised Kate . She wasn't exactly sure why , but she just found the latter to be pretentious and wholly unworthy of Sawyer . She said , " Mr. Burton has made it clear that you're no better than us .

He's my employer , so I have no choice but to do as he says . Come with me . Don't blame this on me if Mr. Burton gets mad at you for dragging things out . Kate wore one of the exquisite , expensive dresses she had bought . It was worth a lot , and even a single one would cost Taryn a year's salary . Taryn frowned and said , " Change into something else . " Kate was filled with pent - up rage . " Stay out of my business . " She sidestepped Taryn and headed straight for the study . She figured that Sawyer had to be in there at this hour . She barged right in without bothering to knock .

He didn't say anything about her rudeness . Instead , he leaned back in his leather chair and asked , " Have you finished memorizing the book I gave you ? " " What the hell do you mean by all of this ? Have I done something to upset you ? If you have a grudge against someone , get back at them , not me ! At the very least , tell me what I've done wrong , " Kate hoarsely said . " If you're doing this to me to get revenge on someone else , then it's seriously unfair to me . " I'm positive I've never done anything to wrong you .

I wouldn't be bold enough to call myself a good person , but I've never hurt you . You can't torment me and make me suffer because of a mistake someone else made ." 1/2 She became choked up toward the end of her rant . Sawyer frowned slightly when he saw the agony in her eyes , despite her best efforts to stay calm . He thought that she was truly impressive . Her speech had almost moved him . She was also right about one thing she'd never done anything to wrong him or Sylvia . But it was just Kate's luck . Sylvia was a lunatic , and he was a lunatic's brother .

Dragging their enemy's family into the fray was what would make them feel vindicated . Besides , Kate wasn't some underage child . It was true that she hadn't done anything to wrong them , but she'd chosen to cover up Connor's crimes . She couldn't be considered entirely innocent . " You want to know why ? " Sawyer asked . Kate clenched her fists as her heart raced . Even if she were to die from this , she wanted to die while knowing what exactly had gone wrong . Sawyer laughed . " If you perform well over the next two weeks and do everything I ask of you , I'll tell you .

In fact , if I'm pleased by your performance , I might just let you go . " " Are you that confident you can keep me trapped here ? We're in Dalea , and we live in a society governed by laws . You're taking things too far ! " Kate decided to use the law to threaten him .
