Kathryn was mocked by Clarissa, but her expression remained unchanged. She said, "You're my mother, of course I care about you. No matter how you treat me, I will always care."

Clarissa responded, "How have I treated you badly? Haven't I been good to you? If you weren't my biological daughter, based on what you've done, you wouldn't deserve to live, even if you had nine lives like a cat."

"It hurts! It hurts so much!" Kathryn exclaimed.
