Chapter 828
“Kimberly, don’t be angry. It must be someone who said something negative about you to Mr. Humphrey, that’s why he treated you this way. After all, in Freybourne now, who doesn’t know you are Mr. Humphrey’s most beloved stepsister?”
When I heard “stepsister,” I just laughed. It seems that Kimberly saw no hope in Reynaldo, so she settled for Quentin instead, openly stating that she is Reynaldo’s stepsister. In this way, she not only coaxed Quentin into revealing everything, but also did not lose the protection from Reynaldo’s side, and even managed to cover up her motive and suspicion of killing Mikaela. I have to say, “This woman is quite scheming.”
However, no matter how deep her scheming was, the day would eventually come when the bad things she did would be exposed. I coldly smiled at Kimberly, “Don’t be too happy too soon. Some people have done bad things; it’s not that they won’t be punished, it’s just not the right time yet.”
“Is it?” Kimberly smiled at me kindly. “I am also looking forward to the day when the bad guys get their comeuppance. But Ralda, do you think that day will come?”
With that, she walked up to me, leaned in close to my ear, and in a volume that no one else could hear, she said to me arrogantly and triumphantly, “I bet that even after you die, you won’t be able to see that day. Oh, I almost forgot, Mikaela was really looking forward to the baby in your belly. You see, why don’t I take those two kids down to see her one day?”
This sentence clearly indicated that she would lay hands on Essie and Roddy. The hatred and anger in my heart surged straight to my chest. I clenched my fists tightly by my side and said to her coldly, “It seems that the two stabs four years ago were too light. If you dare to touch my child, I don’t mind poking you into a hornet’s nest.”
Four years ago, the pain brought by those two knives may have been too intense for her. At the mention of it, the woman’s face twisted. The child from the orphanage behind her carefully tugged at her sleeve, indicating a strong desire to play. Her face only returned to normal then.
She smiled kindly at me and said, “Well, that’s it for now, Ralda. Remember to take the kids to visit Quentin.” She said, and then she rubbed my shoulder and walked into the amusement park, with a look of satisfaction in her eyes.
I lowered my head and quietly tripped over something. With a scream, Kimberly immediately fell to the ground in a sorry state. The ground had undergone special anti-slip treatment, with a rough texture, and she was dressed lightly. With such a fall, her knees and elbows were scraped, looking quite disheveled.
I deliberately exclaimed “Oops” and quickly went to help her. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to; I didn’t expect you to brush against my shoulder. You are so kind, you shouldn’t blame me for this unintentional mistake, right?” I said, placing my hand deliberately on her elbow, pressing hard on the injured area.
She turned pale with pain, pushed me away abruptly, and glared at me fiercely. I quickly put on a sad expression and said to her, “I really didn’t mean to, I also apologized to you, are you still unwilling to forgive me? Didn’t you say you were my kind sister-in-law? You didn’t even hold a grudge against me for stabbing you four years ago. Are you really going to hold a grudge against me for this stumble?"
