Chapter 1589 The taste of victory
Ste couldn’t understand. Stiffly, she walked up to Karen, asking her, “Aunt, what are youughing
about?”
Karen didn’t hide her smile at all. Instead, she raised her hand and gently touched Ste’s hair, saying,
“I’mughing because my little Ste has finally escaped this demon.”
She seemed to pity Ste very much. With gentle movements, she stroked Ste’s cheek and said,
“You’ve been through hell because of Erin all these years, and I really feel sorry for you. So when he
died, even though it pained me too, I still felt happy for you. After all, your escape from nightmares
matters more….”
Karen was very kind to Ste, giving her money and love without reservation. Right after Ste joined
the Simpson family, Karen transferred all the money that Thomas had given her to Ste’s ount and
even gave her several houses.
Karen treated Erin well too, in Ste’s eyes. She always cared for him and protected him, even when
Erin treated her with harsh words and violence. Karen had noints and even showed love for
Erin.
But when Ste wasn’t there, Erin would often angrily use Karen of being two-faced. Without
waiting for Karen to exin, Thomas would p Erin, and then Erin would say nothing, just kick the
chair and leave the Simpson family…

Many times, when the three of them had conflicts, Ste would be upstairs, and if she identally saw
them, Karen would use
Ste felt like she was just a guest, and it was better not to get involved in their family affairs. So she
would obediently keep her distance.
As their conflicts intensified, Ste developed a habit of not getting close or cavesdropping, and she
never knew the reasons behind their fights.
But in Ste’s impression, Karen was indeed a very gentle and kind stepmother. At least, she never
said anything bad about Erin in front of her. She always praised the child for being smart. Even with the
servants around her, she never said. anything horrible about him.
Ste thought that maybe this good person was genuinely happy for her, just like Andrew. After all,
Karen and Andrew were her rtives, they had blood ties, and naturally, they loved her more. than
Erin, who had hurt them…
Ste thought about it and didn’t ask any more questions. She just looked away and nced at the urn
that had been ced in the ck car. Erin had turned to ashes, and even with all the
grievances, it was now over.
However, strange feelings surged within her heart as Ste touched her chest.
She felt suffocated, as if all the hatred she held toward Erin was gone. Moreover, it felt like she had lost
the purpose of being.
As Ste couldn’t hold back these strange feelings, she could only let them consume her and drag
herself into the abyss, into hell…
put away her smile. The taste of victory was reflected in her
eyes…
Erin was finally dead. There would be no one to belittle her, no one to point fingers at her as a
homewrecker, and no one to oppose her. And her son would be able to inherit the Simpson family
without anypetition.
From now on, as an uneducated, uncultured, and immoral woman who came from a small county town,
she could sit firmly in Mrs. Simpson’s position. No one would expose her past, and no one would look
down on her arrogantly.
Thinking of Erin, Karen stared coldly at the small ck urn. She sneered to herself that no matter how
stubborn or capable he was, he still turned into ashes.
After a mockingugh, Karen greeted Ste and got into the car. As the ck window rolled up, Karen
and Mike exchanged a nce, and then both of them grinned.
Erin was dead, and no one would know what Karen had done behind the scenes, including Erin
himself. In this world, only she knew the schemes she had set up back then, and she would never be
foolish enough to reveal her secrets to the public.
Karen thought about this while touching Erin’s urn, andughed heartily, feeling a joy she had never
experienced before.
She had been hoping for his death toe for many years, and now that he was finally dead, she was
overjoyed.
