Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 162

"What?" Mrs. Shell's expression became awful and she said, "Kimberly, how can you think so little of me? I have never had that intention. You are my daughter, how can I possibly sacrifice you?"

"Is that so?" Kimberly flashed a bitter smile. Under the table, her hands twisted together, her fingernails sinking into her delicate skin. But the pain in her hands was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.

Kimberly said, "Mother, I remember exactly what you said... You said that the Shell family couldn't afford to have two daughters ruined. You've always favored Erica, and she always got a better life. But I was different. I had to take care of her and meet her every need. All the while, I thought that it was my duty as her sister. But... it became clear to me after I got a divorce. When I went home, you didn't care about me at all and even forced me to marry into the Yardley family. You knew that I was marrying a disabled person. You didn't want to marry Erica off, so you had me to take her place."

Mrs. Shell began to panic and she hurriedly explained, "Why are you bringing up the past? Let bygones be bygones. Aren't you living well nowadays? You are working at such a big company and you live in such a big house. You can also afford to enjoy coffee in such luxurious place. Are you still not satisfied?"

Kimberly held her tears back and uttered, "If you knew all this would happen, you wouldn't have let me marry him, right?"

"Of course... don't talk about this anymore. Anyway, you are living a good life now! Isn't that good enough? Why do you have to make a fuss about it?"

Mrs. Shell tried to change the topic as she became extremely impatient. She saw Kimberly's red eyes and felt upset. She could only say indifferently, "Anyway, that's what I'm here for today. Just give me 100,000 dollars."

Kimberly did not speak.

Seeing no response from her, Mrs. Shell continued, "I'm telling you, Erica has learned so much in her studies. If she doesn't continue, her future will be ruined. You are her sister, you should think about her!"

Kimberly stared at her and suddenly blurted,

"Am I really your biological daughter?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Shell's eyes widened and she looked at Kimberly in disbelief.

She gaped and said incredulously, "How can you say that? I raised you up, and you have the nerve to... suspect me!"

Kimberly said, "If Erica and I are both your biological daughters, why... why didn't I ever have equal treatment? Mom, I am an ordinary person. I have feelings, and I can also be hurt."

Mrs. Shell was so infuriated by her words that she covered her chest and gasped, "Well, I can't believe you are questioning me! Fine. You're an adult now and don't seem to need me anymore. I... I will leave." As she spoke, Mrs. Shell got up and was about to leave, but she was panting heavily and her entire body stumbled backwards.

"Mom!" Kimberly was shocked and quickly got up to hold her.

Mrs. Shell pretended to be powerless and pushed her away, saying, "You are an unfilial daughter. Let go of me, I want to get out of here... You have grown up now and don't want an old woman like me to interfere with your life. I don't want to live anymore... Boohoo..."

Mrs. Shell complained while sobbing with tears in her eyes. The commotion attracted many people's attention in the cafe and they started whispering to one another.

The waiter came over and said, "Madam, you're disturbing the other customers. Can you tell me what happened? What can we do for you?"

Kimberly knew that this was a high-end coffee shop, and Mrs. Shell was making a scene. Having the crowd's eyes on them, she was embarrassed and apologized awkwardly, "Sorry, I will take her away immediately."

She then helped Mrs. Shell out of the cafe and said, "Mom, let me take you out of here."
