I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

Chapter 603 Sawyer shot Kate a look . " Go ahead and call the cops . I'm guessing you're already thinking of ways to save yourself , anyway . Remember that this is your only chance , though . " Kate's heartbeat turned erratic . Then , she felt like something was crawling under her skin , bringing goosebumps with it . It made her hair stand on end . She thought that he was being so brazen . He didn't seem afraid in the slightest . Despair washed over her . Half a month ... She would find out the truth if she could hang on for that long ?

Well , since she was under his control , she had no choice but to do as she was told . At that moment , Kate's desire for money and power surged once again . They'd been within her reach once , but now ... " Go wipe the floor . And I mean for the entire villa , " Sawyer said . Kate was already numb to having to do chores . She turned to leave . Sawyer added , " I want you to do it on your knees . " She whirled back incredulously . " On my knees ? Are you insane ? " Didn't he have any idea how humongous this place was ? " Now , you think the place is too huge ? " He lit a cigarette .

Tendrils of smoke rose before his face before fading and dispersing . Kate heard him continue , " You were the one who picked out this place , weren't you ? I remember you saying that you wanted the largest and most spacious villa with the most rooms . That way , your friends would be happy for you when you invited them over . " His last sentence reverberated in her ears like a curse , and her knees ached with every movement she made . In all her years on this earth , the last time she'd kneeled was when Evie had died .

The maids in the villa chatted and laughed while Kate was reduced to kneeling on the floor and scrubbing it alone . As she moved past the maids to another spot , Taryn said coolly , " Remember to make sure the corners are clean , too . Mr. Burton will probably want to check them . " Kate was the perfect example of someone who'd shot themselves in the foot . She stopped and looked at Taryn icily . Taryn sneered . " What are you looking at ? This is the house you wanted , right ?

I heard from Keaton that back then , you acted like some nouveau riche , thinking you deserved a house this grand when you never even gave Mr. Burton anything . " You get what you give , but what do you have to offer ? How shameless were you to demand such a gigantic house from Mr. Burton without giving anything in return ? Do you actually believe someone as worthless as you is worthy of this ? " 1/2 " That's enough . " Lydia stopped her . Taryn shook her off . " Stay out of this . I can't stand her attitude .

She's already fallen from grace , yet she doesn't realize that she needs to humble herself and keep her head down . Do you think your arrogance and backbone are worth a lot ? How much do you think they'll weigh on a weighing scale ? People like her spoke much sharper words than Lauren did . They were used to seeing how the rich lived , and they were also used to ordinary life . So , when faced with someone like Kate , Taryn had a thousand ways to insult her . Kate glared at Taryn so hard that her eyes looked like they would pop from their sockets . She couldn't believe it .

Even a maid could mock and insult her like this ... After two hours of floor - scrubbing , Kate wasn't even halfway done . However , her knees were swollen and rubbed raw . She couldn't move anymore . When Sawyer showed up , she couldn't help but burst into tears . " Please let me rest ... I was never supposed to suffer like this ... " It was hard to find the right words to describe Kate . Even now , she was looking for opportunities to wail about what a poor thing she was . " Do you feel wronged ? " He crouched before her .
