The car came to a stop outside the Stone family home. Karina took a deep breath, unable to suppress the nervousness that crept up on her.
Her anxiety peaked when Mrs. Stone opened the door.
“It’s you?” Mrs. Stone’s expression twisted with displeasure, and without another word, she turned on her heel and walked away.
Voices drifted from inside—it sounded like Mr. Stone was asking who had come. The conversation abruptly stopped as Karina stepped inside.
Mr. Stone sat cross-legged on the sofa, his expression dark and unwelcoming. “Hmph, you’ve been gone so long, I thought you’d died somewhere out there. That would’ve been better—at least then you wouldn’t be back here to annoy us.”
Mrs. Stone chimed in, her tone equally harsh. “Exactly! After everything you did to ruin us, just look at the state of this house now. We’ve been reduced to nothing!
“If people didn’t know better, they’d think we were your sworn enemies in a past life instead of your foster parents!”
Their words weren’t far from the truth. The Stone family’s current situation was indeed bleak.
In the past, even though they were never wealthy, they could still afford a set of rosewood furniture, and the living room once had a large fish tank. Mr. Stone had a penchant for tea and used to stockpile expensive tea leaves.
Of course, all of those luxuries had been purchased with Karina’s money.
But after Kieran’s troubles and his time in rehab, all of it was gone. Now, the living room was barren, with nothing left.
Karina looked around and smirked. “Well, isn’t this how it should’ve been all along?”
Mrs. Stone glared at her with hatred. “You! You’re nothing but bad luck!”
Karina remained unfazed.
In the past, such words would have cut her deeply, but now, after enduring so much in the outside world, they barely scratched the surface. Compared to the betrayals and struggles she had faced, this was nothing.
