Chapter 597:

“Joyce is doing just fine. And what money are you talking about? Don’t accuse me of things that aren’t true! If you want to live a poor life, that’s your problem, but leave Joyce and me out of it.

With those cutting words, Erika ended the call abruptly. Katrina sank to the floor, her entire body shaking uncontrollably.

The realization hit her like a storm—someone she once trusted implicitly had betrayed her so completely.

In the end, something inside her broke.
