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.

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.
