?Chapter 205:

    Sharon was tall and strong, easily overpowering her husband.

    Yet her physical strength paled inparison to Katelyn’s, no matter how loudly Sharon yelled.

    Katelyn gripped Sharon’s wrist firmly, causing her to scream in pain as she tried to move.

    Katelyn’s eyes reflected a mixture of anger and disgust. She yearned for a quiet life, but it seemed elusive. Her icy gaze pierced Sharon like an invisible de, her overall presence sending shivers down Sharon’s spine.

    “I’ve had no dealings with you for a long time. Mind yournguage,” Katelyn retorted sharply.

    Sharon, bewildered by the change in Katelyn, questioned her own perceptions. When did Katelyn adopt such a formidable demeanor?

    “Do you speak to your mother like this? Katelyn, who nurtured you and taught you through the years—Is this how you repay me? Now you resort to turning against me? It’s unfortunate to have raised such an ungrateful child,” Sharonmented.

    Despite her frustration, Sharon couldn’t free her wrist from Katelyn’s strong grip, which seemed to tighten even more, frustrating her further.

    Their confrontation drew the attention of many bystanders in the crowded hospital corridor.

    Seeing the moment, Sharon addressed the onlookers, “Everyone, behold! This woman is supposedly my daughter, whom I’ve cared for over twenty years. I’ve devotedly raised her from childhood, yet she has usurped my biological daughter’s ce and even stolen her husband.”

    Sharon’s usations escted.

    “She’s more malevolent than I imagined! She endangered my daughter’s pregnancy, causing a near miscarriage, demanded an apology, and she responded with curses!”

    The anger in Katelyn’s eyes deepened.

    It was clear where Lise had learned to blur the lines between truth and deception—Sharon was a master maniptor.

    Their loud dispute captured the audience’s attention, and many seemed inclined to believe Sharon’s dramatic portrayal.

    For a moment, everyone turned against Katelyn.

    An elderly woman pointed directly at Katelyn’s nose and remarked, “A word of advice? Don’t be so cruel. It’s truly unfortunate for this family to have adopted someone like you. Karma will catch up with you sooner orter.” The crowd murmured in agreement.

    “Indeed, I’ve never encountered someone so shameless,” another onlooker added. “We need to share this online and show the world her true colors. Despite her young face, her actions are appalling.”

    Subconsciously, Katelyn raised her hand to shield her face from the shing cameras, but Sharon seized the moment to pull her hand away.

    The growing malice in Sharon’s eyes became evident as she listened to the crowd’s harsh words.

    The usations continued unabated, and eventually, Katelyn could no longer bear it.

    She lowered her hand, revealing her face, and dered, “You’ve all epted one side of the story and condemned a stranger without knowing the full facts. Is this how you uphold justice?” Her gaze, icy and resolute, swept across the corridor filled mostly with fellow hospital patients.

    These people, desperate for diversion from their monotonous hospital stay, eagerlytched onto the drama. The truth or details of the situation mattered little to them. They were simply entertained by the spectacle.

    The elderly woman scoffed and looked at Katelyn disdainfully. “Your mother ims you’re exceedingly wicked. What else should we expect? If you dislike being criticized, perhaps you should examine your own actions!”

    Katelyn responded coolly, “I’ve severed ties with her by giving her a billion dors to ensure it’s final.”
