NovelEnglishChapter 408:
Norah had never truly discussed this topic seriously with Sean before. She was the one who had becupset
without offering an explanation, but Sean had also contributed to the tension by responding too harshly.
Watching the range of emotions flicker across Norah's face, from joy to unease, Alice swallowed the last bit of
her sweet mango.
“Alright, alright,” Alice said, setting the mango down. “You have work tomorrow, so don’t overthink things. Get
ssleep early.”
At Derek's villa, Kathy approached the front door, two clear red marks on her cheeks.
Derek swung the door open, and his gaze softened with surprise when he saw her disheveled state.
“Kathy, didn’t you go to confront the Andrews family today? Did they do this to you? You're pregnant; how could
they possibly hit you?” Derek asked, his handsface displaying anger. Kathy was his sister, and he wouldn't
stand idly by if she was being attacked.

“You are carrying Bryson'’s child. How can they strike you, regardless of their feelings towards you? How could
they?” His voice grew more intense as he spoke, his fists clenching in fury.
“Don’t worry, Kathy. | will make sure we get justice.”
Kathy gently touched her face and offered a weak smile.

“It was Dad who hit me, not anyone from the Andrews family.”
Derek’s brow furrowed in confusion.
“Why would he do that?” he asked, guiding Kathy into the villa. He had just returned from work and was about to
call their father to ask about how the negotiations with the Andrews family had gone. Any charity from the
Andrews family could be a game-changer for the struggling Carter family.
Seeing Kathy in this state gave him the perfect opportunity to ask about what had happened earlier.
“I need to find Madeline,” she murmured.
Kathy, dressed in a flowing white dress, spoke softly, her head bowed, and her hands nervously clasped in front
of her. Her demeanor was strikingly similar to Madeline's. Derek, too, seemed to notice something, examining
Kathy with concern.
“Madeline, Kathy is here to see you,” he called out to Madeline inside the house.
Upon seeing Kathy, Madeline immediately asked, “Did the Andrews family hit you?” How dare they! If word got
out, they could be overwhelmed by the backlash. She took Kathy by the hand and led her to the couch.
“Kathy, tellexactly what happened.”
Derek stood observing the two women, confused. Not long ago, there had been tension between them due to the
assassination attempt incident, and they had been on the brink of an argument at any moment. When had they
suddenly beccapable of sitting together calmly and chatting?

Kathy caught Derek’s gaze from the side and suggested, “Let's talk inside.”
Derek remained outside alone, puzzled. Why must they avoid him?
Once the door closed behind them, Kathy slammed the pregnancy test report down on the table.
“Weren't you supposed to have the records erased? Then why did the Andrews family have my medical records
from Silver Boulder Private Hospital? Do you realize that right after our discussion, Joanna pulled out this record,
threw it in my family’s faces, and then kicked us out?” She pointed to the red mark on her cheek. “This slap was
from Dad after we were thrown out.”
The imprint of the slap was still vividly red on Kathy's face.
Madeline looked uneasy, clearly not expecting things to go this way.
“When | messaged you, the other side assuredit had been deleted. It was your idea to go to the hospital for
the check-up in the first place. Couldn't you have just used a hpregnancy test?”
Kathy said in disbelief, “So it’s all my fault?”
