I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

Chapter 610 After a brief moment of shock , the rich wives and Rhea and her friends cast looks of unbridled disdain at Kate . However , Sawyer had more to say . He continued , " The kicker here is that Kate knew about it and still covered for her father . She also insulted my sister and told her that it was her own fault . She even said my sister should feel grateful because it was a kind of ' affirmation ' from her father . " What the hell ? What sort of vile words were those ?

Even those in the room who didn't consider themselves saints felt a sense of inferiority when it came to Kate's venom . In terms of malice , no one in Draventh could surpass her ! Kate sat there , feeling as if her glamorous , beautiful facade had been silently ripped apart . Her skin had been peeled back , revealing the raw darkness within . She was numb and powerless , unable to even begin to defend herself or explain . As Sylvia's younger brother , Sawyer had more than enough authority to speak regarding this matter .

His words were like the final nail in the coffin , leaving Kate no chance to redeem herself . He said , " That's why I thought she should atone for her father's sins , which led to everything that's happened these past few days . " Everyone glanced at Kate's knees under the table . They were red , swollen , and scraped raw . They looked wrecked , but so what ? Those scrapes were nothing compared to the ruin of another woman's innocence by her beast of a father ! Yet no one in the room dared to voice their thoughts .

They exchanged glances , wondering whether they would even be allowed to leave the villa now that they knew about the Burton family's sordid family history . Would they be quietly disposed of there ? At that moment , many of the wives began reflecting on their relationships with their husbands . Their marriages were at least decent , right ? If something happened to them there , their husbands would look for them , wouldn't they ? The wives were filled with regret . Why had they gotten so close to Kate ? Could anyone save them now ? But there was one - Rhea !

In an instant , everyone subtly shifted closer to Rhea . However , they didn't dare to be too obvious , so they just inched toward her little by little . Rhea was baffled . She didn't know why everyone was crowding around her . She looked at Sawyer and said , " Mr. Burton , you're still too kind . " Could scrubbing floors or cleaning toilets really make up for what Connor had done ? " I agree , but I don't have evidence . So , I can only vent my anger in small ways . Of course , I do have a small favor to ask of everyone . Kate has been wanting to leave , so I hope you all ...

" Evelyn immediately raised her hand . " Our lips are sealed ! " 1/2 " Absolutely ! " the other wives chimed in . " We know nothing ! We heard nothing ! " Kate finally snapped out of her daze . She had just escaped the crushing fear of her reality and realized she could seize this chance to ask the women for help - either to get her out of there or at least to call the police . Yet now , they were ... " How can you do this ? You're just going to stand by and watch someone suffer without helping ? I wasn't the one who committed the crime ! I shouldn't be the one punished !

" Her true , vicious nature finally surfaced . One of the young wives frowned at her . " How are you any different from someone who covers up a crime ? And how could you attack a victim like that ? Being associated with you is downright shameful ! " Another said , " As a woman , you not only protected your father, but you also spewed such hurtful words to the victim . Are you even human ? " At this point , the women grew bolder , and one by one , they voiced their disgust and revulsion for Kate . " You ... " Kate clutched her chest , her face blotchy with rage .

" If I ever get out of here , I'll tell everyone you're all Sawyer's accomplices !
