The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 1458

Chapter 1458 

With a resounding accusation like this, Kate felt ashamed and reached out to hold Edith’s hand, but she was pushed away. 

“Don’t touch me. Your acting and your thoughts frighten me,” Edith said. 

Kate’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at her daughter’s hostility. For a moment, she couldn’t find the words to say. Tears filled her eyes as she stared at Edith in shock. 

Edward quickly stepped in to defend Kate. “Your mother is only trying to protect you. Anthony is always partying at nightclubs and involving your brother in his reckless behavior. If it weren’t for that, your mother wouldn’t have tried to break you two apart. If you’re going to blame anyone, blame him for not being responsible.”

“You thought that if you let go, he would win me back, and then we would be together, and you wouldn’t feel guilty about what you did back then, right?” Edith interrupted. 

Kate shook her head, but Edith continued to approach her step by step.
