Chapter 49
Kate watched the young woman sitting at a table in a posh LA restaurant. She was playing with her phone while the freshly cooked fish and chips and avocado juice she had ordered for lunch sat idly on the table.
She looked like she belonged here, as if she came to this popular restaurant in Downtown LA on a regular basis, even though the truth was quite far from the image she projected. This woman had no more money in her wallet.
Well, it no longer mattered if she had money or not, her older sister would bring her a new credit card anyway.
Kate clenched her fist, took a deep breath, and walked towards Erin.
Erin noticed her sister’s presence as Kate approached. She looked up and grinned, "Took you long enough, Sis."
Kate looked down at Erin in silence. She was so mad right now because things were not going her way.
First, she had to make two supplementary cards for Erin and Matt, and then to make things worse she had to deliver these cards to Erin. Her sister was clearly taking advantage of the situation to humiliate her and break her spirit.
They treated her like an ATM machine that they could withdraw money from at any time, and Kate couldn’t do a thing against them. They had been so brazen as to use her own mother’s life against her.
’Just one call from Erin, and Mom could be dead...’ Kate had to remind herself so that she would keep her temper in check and wouldn’t punch Erin in the face.
