Since Luciana dared to keep secrets from her, Katie found no remorse for disregarding Luciana’s health. After all, the only reason she kept Luciana around was for her goal to marry Mitchel. After that, she didn’t care whether Luciana died or lived.
“Alright,” Mr. Gomez agreed.
Before Katie left, she glanced at Luciana’s pale face, her smile darkening.

Luciana’s face softened as she met Katie’s gaze. “Katie, in my eyes, you’re like a daughter-in-law…”
Luciana’s voice trailed off. When “daughter-in-law” escaped her Lips, those words seemed to strike her suddenly.
The next moment, her hands flew to Katie’s throat, her voice rising in a frenzy. “You… You will bring my son to ruin. I will not let you harm him! I will not let you!”
Caught completely off guard, Katie found herself being forcefully pushed down into the car seat by Luciana.
Luciana, who had always maintained her strength through regular exercise, now had her gaunt fingers gripping Katie’s throat Like iron bands, tightening with every passing second. It seemed she wouldn’t cease until Katie was devoid of breath.
