Winner Takes All

Katherine returned to Parry's in despair.

She was like a phoenix with no feather. Her fantasy was shattered, and her life was worse than before.

The door was opened.

She was greeted by her parents with cheerful smiles, and Tommy who was neatly dressed in suits and leather shoes.

"Let's go, Katherine. Let's buy a car with my brother-in-law." Tommy took Katherine's hand and said excitedly.

He stayed up all night last night, and what Killian had said lingered in his mind.

"Don't even hesitate about cars under one million!"

Tommy never dreamed of driving a million-yuan luxury car in his life. But his future brother-in-law gave him the opportunity.

After a sleepless night, Tommy finally decided several models he wanted to see.

Tommy's heart couldn't stop pounding with the thought of taking a ride in a million-yuan luxury car.

As for his Audi, he planned to let his father use as a mean of transport.

"By the way, Kat, where is Killian?"

Elissa raised her eyebrows, looked at Katherine behind, and said with a smile, "Talk to Killian later. Let us accompany Tommy to the 'car-shopping"

"You know nothing about cars, Mom. Don't tag along." Tommy looked a little annoyed.

"I don't know anything about cars, but can't I tag along and have fun?"

Elissa raised her eyebrows and said, "My baby daughter has a promising future, and I have a rich son-in-law to buy a luxury car for my baby son. Can't I take a few photos to show off?" She knew nothing about cars, but she couldn't care more about face.

Thinking about being flattered by the salespeople at the car shop soon, Elissa was a little carried away.

She had only seen scene like this before on TV.

Kieran on the side began to speak but then hesitated. He wanted to persuade her, but he knew it was impossible to stop Elissa from showing up. So, he bit his tongue.

However, none of them realized how down Katherine looked at the time.

Katherine could hear the laughter. It was like a burning knife, stabbing her heart fiercely.

Luxury cars?

Showing off?

Looking at her mother with watery eyes, Katherine was suddenly disgusted by her mother. The poor pretending to be rich was really disgusting.

Without talking much, Katherine lowered her head, walked pass her parents and Tommy, and directly went into the bathroom.

The water flowed like waterfall in the shower.

The cold water instantly wetted Katherine's whole body.

In a daze, she slowly took off the wet black Chanel dress, and put the shower gel all over her body. Then she picked up the brush that she used to brush clothes and started brushing her body fiercely. Meanwhile she whispered softly, sobbing, "Filthy...so filthy...so damn filthy..."

The delicate skin was quickly splattered with blood.

After being washed away by the water, the blood faded.

Katherine frowned, while brushing and whispering hysterically, as if she couldn't feel the pain.

Outside the bathroom.

Elissa, Kieran and Tommy were all dumbfounded.

The three looked confused when they heard the water in the bathroom.

"I thought we were going to buy a car? Why is Katherine taking a shower early in the morning after she got home?" Tommy asked in confusion.

Elissa and Kieran looked at each other.

Elissa knocked the door, "Are you done yet, Kat? Tommy is still waiting for you. He is going to buy a car."

The water kept running in the bathroom, but there was no answer from Katherine.

Elissa frowned and was about to knock on the door. But she was stopped by Kieran.

He frowned and called out softly, "Did something happen, Kat?"

Just then.

Katherine suddenly screamed frantically in the bathroom.

Then, there was a hysterical cry.

"Fake, everything is fake!"

"There is no luxury car!"

"He lied to me. He is done with me."

...

Katherine confided the truth along with a hysterical cry.

Outside the door, Kieran, Elissa and Tommy were shocked.

How was this possible?!

Everything was just fine yesterday!

How could it happen overnight?

"Kat..." Tommy was the first to react, "Did you upset my future brother-in-law? What should I do if he refused to buy me a car?"

Elissa snapped instantly after hearing what Tommy said.

He was awake all night, and so was she.

Elissa was thrilled about the soon-to-be-real extravagant life. How proud would she be in front of her relatives and friends in the future?

Bang bang...

Elissa pounded the bathroom door recklessly, and shouted, "What did you do to upset Killian? It must be you, naughty girl. I've been indulging you. Who can stand your bad temper? Apologize to Killian right now! This is a command!"

Her tone was sharp and harsh.

The kindness from last night and just now was gone.

"Why did it have to be my fault? You are my mother. Was it my fault just because he is rich and dumped me?"

Katherine kept crying hysterically in the bathroom.

"Oh well, how dare you talk back when your mother lectures you?"

Elissa wasn't going to stop, and she shouted with arms on her hips, "Killian gave away millions when he visited us for the first time. Why would he dump you? You must have done something wrong. Go find him. Or I will kill myself here today!"

Threat!

Elissa was furious at the moment.

All her fantasies would be shattered if Killian was gone.

She cared about face the most. Everything was ready. And she was ready to move into TM villa. But all the sudden, the opportunity was gone?

"Several millions? They were bullshit! He doesn't care about those millions! Do you care about me or the money, mum?"

Elissa frowned, "Of course I care about the money. I gave birth to you. The purpose was to earn money, not losing it!" "Enough! That was way too harsh!" Kieran couldn't stand it anymore.

Elissa slapped Kieran on the chest, "Katherine is the one who made a mistake. Can't I lecture her as a mother?"

"My fault? Yes, it was! I didn't try hard enough to please him. Is that right?"

Katherine suddenly stopped crying in the bathroom, "I have had enough of this life!"

Bang!

There was only the sound of running water in the bathroom.

"Kat..."

Kieran was shocked, and hurriedly pulled Elissa away. He then shouted at Tommy, "Smash the door open, Tommy!"

Tommy was already startled by his mother.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

In a panic, he slammed the door open.

There was some blood mixed with the water on the floor.

And Katherine was also covered in blood, including her head.

"Ah!"

Tommy looked pale and couldn't help screaming in fright.

Meanwhile Kieran and Elissa were also shocked. When they leaned forward, their looks changed drastically.

"Ah!"

The entire family screamed in horror.☐☐☐
