Chapter 1316


    Renee sorted Kaitlyn’s pills, then neatly ced them into a small pillbox for each day of the week. She


    poured warm water and prepared to remind her mother to take her medicine.


    Bncing the cup and medicine, Renee approached the room’s doorway. She suddenly heard her


    mother’s hushed voice on the phone.


    Kaitlyn spoke softly, her tone urgent and low as if she meant it that way.


    “Is everything taken care of?


    “What? She… hasn’t died?


    “You all are a bunch of useless people!


    “…I don’t care about that. Just make sure she doesn’t return to Centrolis!”


    Renee’s heart skipped a beat. She struggled to catch the words beyond the door. She wasn’t sure who


    her mother conversed with on the phone, and the thought that her mother could utter such things was


    hard to ept.


    Could it be a misunderstanding? It had to be!


    She furrowed her brow as doubts gnawed at her. Her mother had been unwell and withdrawn for so


    long. How could she nowmand others to do such things?


    The voice from within the room persisted.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For

    “And that individual… Watch her closely for me. Don’t let her escape!”


    Fear surged through Renee, and her grip on the cup faltered.


    “Who’s out there?”


    Kaitlyn flung open the door abruptly. Catching Renee’s wide-eyed gaze, she emanated a chilling


    intensity.


    Terrified, Renee stepped back. The cup slipped from her hand and shattered on the floor.


    Kaitlyn’s expression darkened, her voice icy as she demanded, “What are you up to?”


    “Mom, I…” Renee’s voice trembled. “I came to give you your medicine. It’s time for your dose.”


    Kaitlyn nced down and noticed Renee’s bleeding foot. A piece of ss had lodged itself in her foot


    from the shattered cup.


    “Go bandage yourself,” she said coldly. “The first aid kit is in the cab.”


    “The first aid kit isn’t in the cab,” Renee timidly corrected her. “Our first aid kit has always been on


    the windowsill.”


    Kaitlyn’s gaze flickered slightly. She fell silent for a moment before softening her tone. “Renee, go tend


    to your wound. Give me the medicine. I’ll take it myself.”


    “Mom…”


    “What’s wrong? Do you want to watch me take the pills?”


    “No.” Renee quickly shook her head. “I just wanted to say… I also cut up some fruits, and I’ve set up


    the TV show you like. You cane to watch it.”


    Kaitlyn paused, then smiled lightly.


    Her daughter was truly filial. Not only was she gentle and understanding, but she also had a tight grip


    on the second Hamerton heir. Some people were truly fortunate. Even if they had nothing, having a


    daughter would be enough.


    Why could that fortune not be hers?


    That person’s daughter could also be her daughter. The glory and wealth that person could have in the


    latter half of their life… she must have it too!


    Kaitlyn went up and patted Renee’s head, saying softly, “Such a good child.”


    Renee smiled as she watched Kaitlyn enter the living room. She kept an eye out and quickly slipped


    into her mother’s room.


    She spotted the forgotten phone her mother had left on the bed.


    Her heart raced as she hid the phone behind her back and left the room quietly.


    Once back in her own room, she locked the door and tried to unlock the phone. After a few


    unsessful attempts, she contacted an engineer she knew from work. With his guidance, she


    sessfully unlocked Kaitlyn’s phone…


    The first entry in the call log was from an unknown number.
