Your Love Is But a Dream (Clara and Wren) novel Chapter 229

After stepping out of the Zachman residence, Katrina dialed the driver's number and asked him to pick her up. Since the driver had just left, it did not take long for him to return.

Seeing the suitcase in Katrina's hands, the driver hurriedly got out of the car and placed the suitcase into the trunk.

Katrina entered the car and looked out of the window, staring at the brightly lit villa disconnectedly.

"Let's go. Take me out of this hellhole," she said, looking away. Exhausted, she leaned against the seat and closed her eyes.

The driver did not dare to say much. He quickly uttered a brief response and drove off.

As the sound of the engine drew farther away, Martha went downstairs grimly.

Shirley was sitting anxiously on the living room couch when she saw Martha approaching.

Hurriedly getting to her feet, she began, "Mrs. Zachman Senior—"

However, Martha glared at her and slapped her hard on the face.

Shirley's face instantly reddened. She covered her face and stared at Martha, surprised by her sudden attack. "How dare you hit me?" she questioned.

All Shirley got in return was a disdainful laugh and another slap from Martha. She stood frozen to the spot, her ears ringing from the slaps.

Martha's palms were numb from slapping Shirley. She looked at the latter disgustingly, saying, "You disgraceful woman! I'll make you come to your senses and know your place.
