His taunting gaze was filled with naked contempt for her when he stared at her, and even though this was not the first time that she had been humiliated by the man in front of her, her heart would still ache whenever she was subjected to his demeaning treatment.

Catherine’s sanity finally came back to her the moment her white T-shirt was being lifted by him. Despite trembling all over due to extreme fear, she forced herself to regain her composure and stared at Anderson, “Didn’t you like Isabella the most? Won’t you be afraid that she will hate you in hell?”

Anderson’s hand halted abruptly in its track on her body.

She knew that mentioning Isabella would work on him, hence she hurriedly continued, “Isabella always hated the fact that you and I were together, and I still remembered clearly that she would fall sick whenever you had stayed the night.”

Anderson’s lechery had dissipated entirely when Isabella was suddenly mentioned, and it was at that moment that the driver had stopped the car, “We’re here, Mr. Clark.”

When Madison had laid her eyes on Catherine, her eyes lighted up in an instant.

However, Catherine did not manage to catch the changes in Madison’s expression as she was contending with dismay, and she quickly called out to the kids on the bed in a soft tone, “Mommy’s here, Sophia.”

Saphia’s sobbing stopped abruptly when she heard Catherine’s voice, and when she had raised her head to look into her direction and confirmed that her mother had indeed come for her, she burst out crying again, this time in a more aggrieved manner as she rolled down the bed and threw herself at Catherine.

“Sophia misses you very much, Mommy.” Catherine hugged her tightly and muttered under her breath, “Mommy misses you too.” “You said that you were going to pick me up yesterday. Why did you lie to me?” Sophia lied in her arms and grumbled in
