Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

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."

Kathryn replied, "Yes, Mom, I should thank you for not killing me."

Clarissa couldn't help but slap Kathryn on the arm.

"Ouch." Kathryn deliberately screamed in pain, then covered the spot where Clarissa slapped her and squatted down.

Her reaction startled Clarissa.

Staring at Kathryn, Clarissa said, "I just slapped you, could I have broken your arm? You're screaming so loudly, like a pig being slaughtered."

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

She didn't respond further, just kept holding the spot and crying out in pain.
