Chapter 979 The Last Shred Of Value

Catherine could have easily evaded the incoming slap, but on second thoughts, she ultimately abandoned the notion of avoiding it.

With this slap, the mother-daughter bond between them would come to an end. From this point onward, she would no longer grieve over familial bonds.

Five seconds later, the pain she anticipated still hadn't materialized.

She instinctively glanced upward, only to see her mother's arm frozen in mid-air.

It wasn't that she had a sudden surge of conscience and couldn't bring herself to follow through. Instead, a powerful arm had shot out from behind Catherine, intercepting the older woman's limb.

Then, a cold and aloof voice resonated from above her head. “Mrs. Rogers, owing to your seniority, I will let this slide, but I hope you can be more mindful of your actions in the future. Don't resort to physical violence each time. Catherine is no longer the daughter of the Rogers family, but the matriarch of the Luther family. Given the international standing of both our families, even if you don't bow and grovel at my wife's feet, you should, at the very least, show her the respect she deserves.”

Once he had finished speaking, he abruptly pushed her hand away.

Stephanie, being a coddled noblewoman, was in no condition to endure the vigorous push from Simon, especially considering the anguish of losing her son she was currently suffering.

Almost immediately after he released her, she staggered backward and collapsed directly onto the bench behind her.

With trembling fingers, she pointed at Catherine, her voice quivering as she spoke, “I've heard that the Luther family is mounting a full-scale assault out there, and it's all because of you. You've brought trouble into this family! Catherine, how can you be so shameless and ungrateful? To appease this man, you've actually forsaken the family that raised you for twenty years. You're truly malicious and evil. People die every day in this world. Why don't you die, too? Why?”

After enduring everything she had, Catherine believed her heart had toughened sufficiently to remain impervious to external factors.

However, as she listened to her mother cursing her, she couldn't prevent an overwhelming wave of sorrow from washing over her.

She had always thought her mother cherished her deeply, that she was the precious gem cradled in her mother's palm.

When everyone had been adamant about preventing her from giving birth to Luna, her mother had stood by her side in silence, offering her the strength to bring the child into the world.

Alas, reality once again inflicted a merciless wound upon her heart.

Consequently, regardless of how much she contributed and sacrificed, they viewed her
