Winner Takes All

Stunned, Katherine looked at Elissa blankly.

“Mum, I really had already spoken to Shirley about the engagement party!” Katherine felt extremely wronged.

The engagement party really had disgraced the Parry family. She had been explaining herself countless times these last few days after facing the blame from Elissa.

“You are still lying to me!”

Elissa breathed heavily and said angrily, “Shirley comes from a good family. Are you really saying that she deliberately pretended to cause havoc at the engagement party?”

“Katherine, what do you mean?” Tommy was also nervous and stood up quickly. “I know what kind of person Shirley is. So I know she would never do that kind of thing.”

Katherine trembled with tears as she felt she was being seriously wronged.

She was sobbing as she said, “Why don’t you believe me? Mom, just who exactly is your real daughter?”

Elissa’s face went red as she raised her hand to cover her chest, “When I face a matter, I focus on the facts and don’t bias towards certain people. You are my daughter, and Shirley is my daughter in law. She is about to marry my son. Do you still want to try contradicting me?”

“I…” Katherine was about to speak.

Kieran stamped his foot down as she said, “That’s enough Katherine, or do you want to piss your mom off to another heart attack?”

Hearing this, Katherine gave up arguing.

“Mum, get some rest. I’m going to work now,” Katherine put down the thermos flask, turned around and ran out while covering her eyes.

“Work? You earn that little. It’s far not enough. I am your mother. I am staying at the hospital now. You don’t even seem to care a little bit?”

Elissa shouted loudly when seeing Katherine leave.

After she heard this, Katherine collapsed completely. She passed the corridor and ran into the stairwell. She then couldn't help bursting into tears.

“Why am I the one to blame? What did I do wrong? Why must I bear all these myself?”

By doing so, she released all the emotions she endured these days.

After Elissa was hospitalized, Katherine had been under the stress of being framed. She had been tied up with preparing food for her parents and Tommy while working.

But in return she just got relentless questioning and misunderstanding from Elissa.
