Chapter 3637


    Kathryn was mocked by rissa, but her expression remained unchanged. She said, “You’re my


    mother, of course I care about you. No matter how you treat me, I will always care.”


    rissa responded, “How have I treated you badly? Haven’t I been good to you? If you weren’t my


    biological daughter, based on what you’ve done, you wouldn’t deserve to live, even if you had nine


    lives like a cat.”


    Kathryn replied, “Yes, Mom, I should thank you for not killing me.”


    rissa couldn’t help but p Kathryn on the arm.


    “Ouch.” Kathryn deliberately screamed in pain, then covered the spot where rissa pped her


    and squatted down.


    Her reaction startled rissa.


    Staring at Kathryn, rissa said, “I just pped you, could I have broken your arm? You’re


    screaming so loudly, like a pig being ughtered.”


    “It hurts! It hurts so much!” Kathryn eximed.


    She didn’t respond further, just kept holding the spot and crying out in pain.


    rissa paused for a moment, then squatted down to check. “Even if I hit you a little harder, I


    couldn’t break your arm with one p, and I haven’t practiced martial arts.”


    Kathryn said, “You may not think your p was that strong, but it really hurt me.”


    “How can it hurt when you’re wearing such a thick coat?” rissa was skeptical, but still took off


    Kathryn’s coat and pushed up her sleeves to check.


    The spot where rissa had pped Kathryn was slightly red.


    Despite this small mark, Kathryn screamed loudly, clearly doing it on purpose.


    rissa twisted Kathryn’s arm again, this time with real force, making Kathryn scream like a pig


    once more.


    “I told you not to lie to me,” rissa scolded. “If I don’t twist it redder, it wouldn’t match those pig-


    like screams of yours.”


    Standing up, she tossed Kathryn’s coat back to her. “Put it on, don’t catch a cold.”


    Kathryn stood up, put on her coat, and said, “Mom, you’re so cruel, twisting my arm that hard— itProperty ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    hurts so much.”


    rissa snorted twice, left her, and walked out.


    After putting on her coat, Kathryn quickly followed. Once the mother and daughter left the house, a


    few people upstairs peeked down the stairs.


    It was Holden and his three sons.


    Kathryn’s loud, pig-like screams had woken them from their sleep.


    Thinking something had happened, the four of them rushed out to see what was going on. Once


    they realized it was just the mother and daughter, they silently agreed not to go downstairs, instead


    hiding and watching from afar.


    They didn’t dare to peek until the two had gone outside.


    “It’s not even dawn yet, why did Mom take Kathryn outside? Did she… tormented her?” Sage


    muttered.


    As soon as he finished, the others stared at him.


    Sage rubbed his sleepy eyes. “Why are you all looking at me?”


    “You’re an idiot,” Marco said to Sage. “Mom has tormented all of us, but she wouldn’ty a finger on


    Kathryn. Didn’t you see what happened? If any of us tried to fool Mom like that, she’d kick us into


    the corner.”


    “Would she even bother checking if we were actually hurt?”


    “Didn’t Kathryn get twisted pretty hard? She used a lot of force.”


    Marco replied, “That’s nothing. Mom’s a martial artist. Even though she’s older, her strength is still


    greater than most people’s. If she kicked us, we’d be in pain for ten days to half a month. Kathryn


    got twisted once, and the pain probablysted less than two minutes.”
