Just when Jack Hughes and Lone Wolf drove away.
In front of the restaurant.
Jenny did not leave yet.
She sat on the roadside and played her phone in boredom.
She didn’t even care the stares she got from the people who were stunned around her.
Not far away, two figures stopped.
“Sister, I saw Jack with that girl a while ago.”
Tommy Parry pointed at Jenny who was at the roadside.
Beside him, Katherine Parry stood.
However, the Katherine Parry and Tommy Parry today were completely different from who they were before.
Katherine wore a little black suit and cut her long hair into short hair. Thus, she looked extremely competent.
On her face was an additional dash of darkness and gloom. She was no longer charming like before.
Even the look in her eyes became extremely cold.
On the other hand, Tommy looked a lot skinnier and lethargic. He stood beside Katherine and yawned from time to time.
“Are you able to get ahold of dad through the phone?”
Katherine’s voice was very low and emotionless.
Tommy yawned and said, “I can’t reach him.”
The look on Katherine’s eyes changed. Her eyes were filled with darkness and a bit of anger.
“Then continue calling him. We already don’t have mom. If we also don’t have dad, then what’s the point of our family?”
“Fine, I know. Sister, give me some money. I’m getting sleepy again.”
Tommy shrugged his shoulders and with a careless attitude, “Also, I won’t be coming home tonight. I’ll be having fun and spending the night at the bar.”
Unconsciously, Katherine clenched her fists, and her face looked pale.
She suddenly turned around and glared at Tommy, “Tommy, are you going to complete all the evil stuff out there?”
As Katherine stared at him, Tommy subconsciously took a step back in fear.
Ever since their mother died, his sister changed a lot.
The look on her eyes from time to time scared Tommy.
However, after yawning again and again, Tommy insisted, “Sister, you are always good to me, I’m really sleepy. How about this, give me some money first. If my sleepiness gets cured, then maybe I won’t need to spend the night outside tonight.”
Katherine remained motionless, but the cold expression on her face became more intense.
Tommy suddenly panicked and begged, “Please, sister. You’re the only one I have, and I’m the only younger brother you have. Mom already died and dad is missing. We only have each other to rely on. Are you going to abandon me when I need help?”
‘Abandon him?’
Katherine’s heart felt terribly hurt.
The corners of her mouth tugged upwards and a strange smile appeared.
In the end, she still grabbed 500 Yuan from her pocket and handed it to Tommy.
When Tommy saw the money, his eyes lit up. Once he grabbed the money, he turned away and ran.
As she watched Tommy disappear from the crowd, Katherine looked extremely cold and stern. She murmured, “It was just because I always save you when you need. That’s why you became like this.”
As she spoke, tears filled Katherine’s eyes.
“Mom, could you see that from the heaven? Were you happy now that Tommy had been spoiled like this because of you?”
Katherine raised her hand, wiped the tears on the corners of her eyes, and firmly said, “But mom, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of him. I only have one younger brother, so I need to help him. And…I will also take revenge for you!”
Hatred and anger surged like tide and enveloped Katherine’s entire body.
She would never forget what happened that night in front of the grave of Jack’s mother.
That moment was the darkest, most hopeless, and most helpless moment in her life!
Although it had been so long, she would still be awoken by her nightmares. Then, she could only open her eyes and fear to go to sleep again, and stayed awake through the long, long night.
Her mother’s death was like a sharp knife that intensely pierced right into Katherine’s heart.
