Chapter 488


    The voice was sharp and loud, as if it was about to rip their eardrums apart. Yvette, Ronald, and Raine


    were standing there in the kitchen doorway.


    They could see clearly what was happening before their eyes, especially looking at that angle of theirs.


    An indescribable shock filled their faces, their expressions changing.


    Yvette red at Summer, not bothering to hide her outrage. ''Shameless bitch!’


    Ronald nced at Mark, then at Raine beside him, and frowned.


    Raine''s expression was no better. Her face changed from red to pale, her fingernails sinking into the


    flesh of her palms. Her body was shivering, as if a bucket of ice water had poured down her head, her


    body and limbs feeling cold.


    Mark''s reaction was quick. But he did not look back, his deep-set eyes moving in the eye sockets.


    Meanwhile, Summer''s heart was racing. That voice was all too familiar. Who would it be if not Yvette?

    Yvette stepped in and stood in front of Summer, and breathed out her hatred. "You are so disgusting!”


    In Yvette''s eyes, Summer was a scheming woman.


    There was no doubt about it. While she kept a chaste face by telling everyone there was nothing


    between Mark and her, she and Mark were tantly doing this i n private. She was nothing but


    shameless. 1


    "Knock it off, Mom." Mark frowned, his deep voice clearly carrying a sense of displeasure, hugging


    Summer in his arms in front of the three of them.


    Anger rose higher in Yvette, and she raised her voice, which was sharp and loud. "Are you defending


    her now, Mark?"


    "Yes, she is my woman and the mother of my daughter. It is my duty to protect her." He spelled out his


    words.


    Raine''s expression changed again as a sense of irony and cold struck her. What about her? Who was


    she to Mark?


    Mark held Summer''s shoulders with just the right amount of force. In fact, it was gentle. Summer was


    calm, even when she was facing Yvette and Raine.


    She looked at Yvette without saying a word.


    Yvette became a little out of breath. "I am your mother, who brought you up since you were a child. Yet


    you are defending her against me now. What am I to you?"


    "Had you been calm and not made those nasty remarks, I wouldn’t have to defend her, would I?”


    "Nasty remarks? Even if what I said is nasty, she deserves it." Yvette blew her top atst. "Mark, have


    you forgotten how she pushed me down the stairs and Raine off the cliff four years ago? Why are you


    defending a vicious woman like her? Why are you doing this to me?"


    "That''s because of your deep prejudice against her. She is not what you think. I know her better than


    anyone else. You don''t have to doubt my ability to read people.”


    He squinted. He said softly, but was determined. "Tell me, if you were three-months pregnant, holding


    on to the edge of a cliff with one hand and grasping Raine’s hand with the other, how long do you think


    you could hold on? Besides, if she really wanted Raine dead, why did she even bother to grasp Raine


    with all her strength?"
