Chapter 1602 Karen wanted to destroy Erin
But just by looking at Karen’s eyes, Ste knew she hadn’t guessed wrong. Karen was the one who
made the first move.
Realizing this was even worse than knowing Karen had used Erin’s men to make things worse for
Ste. Because that night, whether Erin had coincidentallye up with this idea or not, her own aunt
would have done the same thing in Erin’s name.
After all, as long as they bribed the thugs and made them me Erin as the mastermind, even if Erin
had a hundred mouths, he wouldn’t be able to exin it clearly.
So at that time, when Ste woke up, Karen didn’t care about her well-being first. Instead, she kept
pressing her, wanting to know who was behind it all. She imed it was for revenge, but in reality, she
wanted to destroy Erin…
If Ste hadn’t been blinded by family ties and hatred for Erin at that time, she should have thought
carefully and not be a pawn.
Ste sneered inwardly, but remained calm as she questioned Karen.
“Tell me, when did you start using me? Was it from the moment you brought me to the Simpson family,
or when you
manipted me to get close to Erin…”
Karen stared at Ste’s red eyes and suddenly felt like she had awakened, seeing right through
everything. Facing Ste like this, it seemed pointless to hide anymore because she could feel that
after today, her niece would never care for her as before.
Thinking this, Karen reached out and grabbed Ste’s hand, gently releasing her grip on her dress and
cing Ste’s hand in her own palm. She then covered it with her other hand.
“Ste, Auntie brought you to the Simpson family because I felt sorry for you, losing both your parents.
I wanted you to have a good life with me, but I never expected Erin to transfer her hatred towards me
and Andrew onto you.”
If Karen had raised Ste just to use her, she wouldn’t have sent Andrew away beforehand and kept
him by her side while using Ste as a shield. It was because she had no such intention that Karen
didn’t set any traps in that regard.
Ste could already distinguish between truth and lies, so she didn’t question Karen’s words but
continued to look up at her.
“Then when did you start using me?”
Since when?
Since Erin repeatedly mocked her, insulted her, and hated her with cold words, Karen wished for Erin’s
death!
But with Erin’s grandfather guarding him at that time, she
couldn’t touch Erin.
Moreover, Erin was clever and quickly sensed something was wrong. Several times, she tried to push
Erin into the water from behind, but he cleverly avoided it.
Coincidentally, she saw little Ste chasing after Erin, wanting him to teach her medical skills. She felt
that Erin was much kinder to Ste than to her, so she thought if she could transfer Erin’s hatred for her
onto Ste, she would have to suffer less.
She then told Thomas how pitiful and helpless Ste was, how she was constantly bullied by Erin.
Thomas heard it and saw it, and he started favoring Ste more.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.
Erin, being young at the time, probably felt that his father’s love had been taken away, which made him
ufortable. The more he saw Ste, the more he disliked her, and Karen wanted to make it worse.
She falsely used him of hitting Ste in front of Thomas to add fuel to the fire.
When Thomas heard about it, he didn’t hesitate. As soon as Erin came back from school, he pped
him hard, knocking him to the ground. Erin foamed at the mouth, convulsing, almost unable to handle
it.
He grabbed Thomas’ leg and asked through gritted teeth why he hit him. Thomas said it was because
he had bullied Ste. Erin probably thought Ste had used him falsely, causing him this injustice.
From then on, Erinpletely hated Ste.
Erin did transfer some of his hatred from Karen, but the
Simpson family still wanted him, the talented one, to be the heir. Despite Erin’s misdeeds, those uncles
of his liked him, almost unconditionally, without considering Andrew, who was far away in Arcadia and
under the care of the Evans’ butler. Karen believed that only by making Erinmit a major mistake
would the Simpson familypletely abandon him and consider Andrew for the inheritance.

She started provoking Erin every now and then, of course, when no one could see or hear. Whenever
Erin got angry, couldn’t control his insults towards her. Karen purposely waited for Thomas toe
back and acted as if she had been greatly wronged.
At that time, Thomas would scold and hit Erin, regardless of right or wrong. Every time Erin got angry,
he would redirect his hatred towards Ste and find new ways to bully her…
Karen made sure the servants around her knew what Erin had done to Ste, spreading it throughout
the Imperial Capital circle. Erin’s reputation slowly declined, even within the Simpson family. They
believed that as Erin grew older, he became more unruly…
