Lucas frowned. Katherine’s words stabbed at him, leaving him deeply uncomfortable.

“You humiliated her, you hit her, and now you’re standing here making excuses to justify yourself, making it sound like you’re the one in the right. Katherine, this is who you are.”

Hearing the word “excuses” felt like a thorn in Katherine’s ear.

He dismissed Rachel’s cruelty and denied his own betrayal, pinning everything on her instead.

Katherine looked at them. These people even want to take my children back to the Grants.

Are they gonna bring my children back here, then treat them the same way they treated me?

Her resolve hardened. No matter what, she would never let them discover the children.

“Waaah!” A loud cry suddenly rang out behind Lucas.

Everyone turned toward the sound at once.

Katherine, still burning with anger, felt the voice was familiar and looked over.

When she saw Ivy, her head buzzed, and for a moment, she wondered if her eyes were playing tricks on her.

Ivy?

Why is she here?

The little girl Lucas picked up at the airport was Ivy?

Ivy was crying hard, clearly frightened.

Seeing her, Lucas took a breath, reined in his anger, walked over, and crouched in front of her. “Why are you crying again?”

“Evil… She’s evil.”

Rachel’s heart leapt with joy. She walked over and said to Ivy, “Don’t be scared, sweetheart. That evil woman can’t hurt you.”

The moment Rachel got close, Ivy shrank behin Lucas, terror written all over her eyes as she looked at Rachel.

Lucas noticed Ivy’s reaction and asked, “Ivy, tell me, did you see something just now?”

Through her tears, Ivy pointed at Rachel. “That evil woman said that the other lady had no background and had nothing to her name. She said her mommy and daddy were damned and short-lived, and she should go and be with them. She also said… she also said poor people’s lives are cheap. That’s why that lady hit her.”

Rachel was stunned. “I didn’t. You’re lying.”

Ivy hid behind Lucas, and seeing Rachel’s twisted expression, she cried even harder.

Rachel hurried to explain, “Lucas, I didn’t. This girl is lying. She’s slandering me.”

Lucas’s face darkened even more.

The child didn’t know anyone here. There was no reason for her to lie for Katherine and frame Rachel.

And those words weren’t something a child could make up out of thin air.

So Ivy couldn’t be lying.

“Lucas, believe me, I didn’t say all that… She’s framing me…”

“She doesn’t know you or Katherine. Why would she lie for Katherine? And the things she said, if she hadn’t heard them, could a child make them up?”

“I-I…” Rachel stood there, speechless.

Katherine finally snapped out of her panic at seeing Ivy here, just in time to catch Ivy blinking at her through tears.

This little clever thing.

Katherine didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Lucas glanced back at Katherine, standing there with a cold expression, and a flicker of guilt crossed his dark eyes.

In the end, Elijah stepped in and put an end to the chaos.

Rachel had spoken viciously, and Katherine had hit her. They were even.

Rachel sat on the couch with red eyes while Sarah comforted her.

Lucas glanced at Katherine, then at Ivy, trying to find some connection between the two, but saw nothing.
