Hector gazed at her intensely and couldn’t contain his anger. “Kate! Don’t be reckless; she’s your cousin!”

“Cousin? She’s just a spiteful person!” Kate retorted.

Kate exclaimed with frustration, “Ever since we were kids, she’s been in constant competition with me, and it’s been the same as we grew up. Every good opportunity in the family has been handed to her, and I’m left with scraps. Why? What makes her better than me?”

In truth, he had provided Kate with more resources than even his own daughter.

“Nonsense! Do you expect me to believe your nonsense? If it weren’t for your secret support and encouragement, how could Natasha be stronger than me?” Kate scoffed.

“Kate, you’re all my family. How could I play favorites?” Hector’s expression was filled with complexity.
