In Katherine’s heart, Wesley was a forever hero, yet Rachel dragged him out and humiliated him like this.

Katherine was shaking with rage, her icy gaze cutting toward Rachel like a blade.

Rachel loved seeing Katherine furious and helpless like this.

After all, Rachel believed she was born superior

Someone like Katherine, who would be nothing without the Grants, was just a stray dog in comparison.

No matter how angry Katherine got, she couldnt really do anything to her.

Rachel knew exactly where it hurt most, and she kept going. “Your dad died young. Your mom died young too. She didn’t even make it past 50, right? I wonder why you’re not with. them already. But I’m really curious. With a family as poor as yours, so poor you had to sell your life, how did your mother afford such a fine emerald bracelet? Did she sell herself for

it?”

Smack!

The sharp sound echoed through the room, making the servants freeze mid-task and stare in shock.

Rachel covered her face, eyes wide in disbelief. She stared at Katherine with her head knocked to the side, forgetting to move.

“How dare you hit me! Katherine, you bitch, you actually hit me! I’m gonna-‘

”

Smack!

Before she could finish, Katherine’s other hand came down across her face.

Katherine didn’t hold back with either slap. Rachel was completely stunned.

The living room fell into dead silence.

“Ah!!”

It took a long moment before Rachel reacted, screaming at the top of her lungs.

On the stairs, Ivy, who had been about to come down, witnessed the scene and was instantly awed by how cool her mom was.

Then Ivy saw Lucas and Sarah come out.

She quickly ducked aside, pressing herself against the wall, eyes wide as she watched.

Rachel clutched her face, biting her lip hard. By the time Sarah reached her, tears were already streaming down.

“What happened? Rachel? What’s wrong?”

“Mrs. Grant…”

Rachel looked up at Sarah, pitiful and wronged, unable to speak for a long while before saying, “I don’t know what I did to deserve being humiliated like this.”

“She hit you?”

Sarah lifted her head, fury blazing as she glared at Katherine.

Lucas’s gaze fell on Rachel’s swollen, reddened face. The clear handprints showed the person who struck her hadn’t held back at all.

His frost-covered eyes turned to Katherine, his voice cold. “Why did you hit her?”

“She asked for it.”

Katherine wasn’t someone without a temper.

Especially when it came to her family, that was a line no one was allowed to cross.

Two slaps were nothing. She wanted to rip Rachel’s mouth apart.

“That’s your reason for hitting someone?”

“She said my parents died young. She said I should die too…”

“Lucas… I didn’t, I swear. Ms. Pearce’s father saved Elijah. He’s a hero in my heart. I’ve always respected Mr. Pearce.”

Rachel shook her head desperately, crying so hard she looked like a tragic heroine. She looked at Lucas and sobbed, “Ms. Pearce called me a mistress, said I was your lover. But you and I are completely innocent. I just asked her why she was humiliating me like that, and she said I was shameless, then she slapped me twice. I really don’t know what I did wrong to deserve this.”
