Chapter 14
After leaving Aura Supreme, Kate went on to buy new outfits for both her parents at other stores before heading home.
Upon arrival, she was a bit surprised to see kyla’s car parked in the driveway.
A servant approached as Kate got out of the car, taking several bags from her.
Mom not home? Kate asked.
“No, she’s out playing roulette with a friend and won’t be back for lunch, the servant replied.
“What’s Kyla doing here?” Kate wondered aloud as they walked towards the main house. It was still work hours, and Kyla should have been at the
office.
Kyla was known for her strong sense of responsibility and her tendency to work late, which had earned her Leland’s deep trust. Kate knew their parents had been grooming Kyla as the heiress to the family business, and Kyla had indeed proven herself capable.
Im not sure. She came in looking upset, and none of us dared to ask,” the servant answered.
Despite Kate being the Sutton family’s biological daughter, the servants were actually more afraid of Kyla. For all her seemingly approachable demeanor, she was the hardest to get along with.
Kate didn’t press the matter. Vita followed her in silence, her eyes nervously darting around.
Kyla was sitting on the couch, and when Kate entered, she shot her a cold glance.
Kate walked over nonchalantly and sat down. Why are you back?” she asked.
“Kate, Kyla began, taking a deep breath as if trying to suppress her anger. Her gaze was still sharp, “Did you go to Aura Supreme to buy gown?”
Kate took the bags from the servant and looked an Kyla “Yeah, what’s wrong?”
“Did you run into Mr. Davidson Kyla continued, ignoring Kate’s question. “You’ve pissed him off more than once already. Are you trying to drag the entire Sutton family down with you? Can’t you see the guy hates your guns? Why do you keep throwing yourself in his path instead of staying the hell away? If you want to mess up your own life, fine, but don’t take the family down with you.”
Kyla was furious after getting a call from Vita, who told her that Kate had once again offended Alfred, as well as Belinda. She had left immediately to confront Kate at home.

Kyla added. “The last time I went with you to apologize to Mr. Davidson, you didn’t take it seriously, didn’t listen to him, and kept insisting on learning things the hard way. What’s wrong with you! Are you out of your mind? I’ve told you before, you can’t afford to cross him. Anyone who does ends up regretting f

Kate’s face darkened. “I was at Aura Supreme first. Alfred just happened to show up. How is that me throwing myself at him?

Chapter 14
Seeing the untouched glass of milk on the coffee table, Kyla grabbed it and flung the still–hot liquid at Kate.
Kate dodged but wasn’t quick enough, and some of the milk splashed onto her clothes, Furious at the stain, she stepped forward and slapped Kyla across the face before she could react.
The sound of the slap echoed through the room as it landed hard on Kyla’s cheek. A burning pain spread across her face, and she stared at Kate in
disbelief
Vita, who was standing at the door and hadn’t yet entered the room, was stunned. She never expected that Kyla, who had always seemed so strong. would be slapped by Kate.
“What the lack are you doing, Kater Kyla screamed, trying to slap Kate back, but Kate dodged her easily. Now even angrier, Kyla lunged at Kare like a madwoman, but Kate swiftly kicked her, sending her crashing onto the couch.
Kate stretched her leg nonchalantly. “It’s been a while since I’ve had to fight. Looks like I’m getting rusty
Kyla was seething with rage. This darin bitch kicked me in the stomach. It hurts like hell
Kate lowered her leg and smirked at Kyla. “You should know that before I came back, I ran a training center in my hometown. When the teachers were basy, I had to step in and teach myself. I’ve picked up some fighting skills, along with calligraphy and painting. And I’m pretty damn good at
all of them”
Kyla was momentarily at a loss for words.
“Even though Mom and Dad told me to call you sister we both know you’re not really my sister. So don’t try to act all high and mighty around me,” Kate said, bending down to lift Kyla’s chin, forcing her to look at the face of someone she hated in the past.
But inside she had to admit that Kyla was beautiful and it was no wonder Chris was so obsessed with her.
Kyla knew that Leland cared more about the future of Sutton Group than anything else. So the thought if he found out about Kate constantly pissing off Alfred, he definitely wouldn’t let her off easy.
She then pushed Kate’s hand away and sat up with the help of the couch’s armrest. “You keep screwing up, and when Dad comes back, I’m telling him everything. You say I have no right to lecture you, but what about Dad?”
Kate frowned, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “Talways knew you were a tauletale. Don’t think I don’t know that when the Davidson family proposed, it was you who told Dad to let me decide for myself.”
Before her time travel, all she had wanted was to marry Chris. If given the choice, she couldn’t possibly have accepted Alfred. Kyla just wanted her to offend the Davidson family and piss off Alfred on her own
“If I hadn’t old Dad to let you choose, he would’ve agreed to the Davidson proposal right away, and you’d be stuck in a loveless marriage for life. I did it for you. And yet you’re ungrateful and treat me like this. Kate, when did you become such a heartless bitch? Kyla snapped.
Before Kate could respond, footsteps echoed from outside.
