Mrs. Mcguire was stunned, her voice almost breaking, "What did you say? Your sister-in-law has been released without guilt?"
"Surprised, aren't you?" Katie's eyes narrowed slightly, dripping with sarcasm. "When it comes to my sister-in-law, the Howlett family cares more than ours. After all, she has a caring little brother, right?"
"And her good little brother is on good terms with Franklin and Sylvia, right?"
Katie chuckled, "I must have been blind before, thinking poorly of Sylvia and my sister-in-law. I was ridiculous."
"Katie, no, you're the best..." Mrs. Mcguire forgot the argument with her daughter just now, quickly comforting Katie. "Don't belittle yourself, you're great at dancing, singing, you're a star in the circle. You're beautiful, you're already starting to act, you'll surely win awards in the future."
"Compared to Poppy, what am I?" Katie chuckled softly. "I don't want to be a star anymore."
"Weren't you dreaming of being a star since you were a child? Why suddenly change your mind?" Mrs. Mcguire was shocked. "Don't scare mommy."
"I want to teach in the mountains, I want to go to Cool Mountain." Katie looked out at the dark sky, even though the rain had stopped, the sky remained gloomy.
Mrs. Mcguire's voice almost broke, "Go to the mountains? The conditions there are so harsh, Katie, are you crazy? Have you lost your mind? You're a good girl from a wealthy family, you don't want to be a star, now you want to endure hardships?"
"I want to be a useful person to society. I've been to university, teaching children shouldn't be a problem." Katie glanced at her injured foot. "When my foot heals, I'll go."
Tears welled up in Mrs. Mcguire's eyes, "What's wrong with you? You..."
But Katie ignored her, instead, she picked up her phone and started messaging her agent about her plans to teach.
The agent called immediately, sensing her excitement, "Katie, what's wrong? You just sprained your foot, when it heals, you can go back on stage, continue with shows, or acting, anything!"
"No, I don't want to." Katie's gaze was indifferent. "I just want to teach, I suddenly feel being a star is not that interesting. Anyway, all my appointments are canceled because of my injury, postponed. I'm practically free now, right?"
The agent was a bit dizzy. Although Katie wasn't famous, she had some fame, and being backed by the Mcguire Group, they usually gave the group some face when it came to resources.
So...
Now, the lady of the Mcguire family suddenly wants to leave the entertainment industry?
She was shocked!
After calming down a bit, she tried to persuade Katie, "How about this? You go teach first, and I'll release a statement about your injured foot. When you want to come back, we can still get you appointments."
"I don't care how you release it." Katie shrugged.
After hanging up, she turned to see Mrs. Mcguire's teary eyes, "Katie, you're really not yourself today..."
"Everyone grows up, I'm just growing up. I don't want to be like before, depending on the Mcguire Group for everything. I want to live according to my own ideas."
Katie's mind drifted to the images she had seen in the news.
All those things had happened around her, in this city.
Especially the collapsed houses, the trees submerged in water... all reminding her of one thing, she couldn't continue to live aimlessly as before. She wanted to live like a human being.
Outside the police station.
It had been flooded long ago, and when the flood came yesterday, the prisoners in the temporary cells were all transferred to the second floor.
Carolyn was carried out by Jasper. There were only a few guards left in the police station, almost everyone else had gone out to participate in rescue operations.
In just two or three days, she looked noticeably haggard.
"Jasper, put me down, I can walk by myself."
"It's flooded everywhere, how can you walk? Isn't it my duty as your brother?" Jasper carried her and slowly moved forward. There was a kayak outside the police station.
He was tall and had long legs, and he walked all the way to the kayak before putting Carolyn down. "Don't worry, I'll soon find out who framed you."
Carolyn sat in the kayak, a young man handed her a bottle of water and some food. Carolyn hadn't been eating well or sleeping well these past few days.
Now she could finally come out, but unexpectedly encountered another flood.
