The man tumbled onto the ground and landed so hard that he could not get up.
After a long time, he finally picked himself off the ground and lifted his head to reveal his bruised face. His face was so scarred one could barely make out his appearance. "Ms. Miller, I've already tried my best to choose the right person for the job. I never thought Steven would appear at the last minute and end up colliding with the truck…
"I'm sure you think it's my fault, but you yourself have to admit that this was not part of your plan, too, right? I followed all the instructions you gave me…"
The man climbed up from the ground and plopped back onto the sofa. "I've already sent some people to keep an eye on Joshua and Thomas, and I even specifically picked a time when they wouldn't be around to do this.
"It's not my fault that things didn't go as planned…"
Kate's rage slowly subsided when she heard this.
She rolled her eyes at him and said coldly, "Thankfully, Gwen didn't seem to realize that we tried to kill her, and Steven hasn't yet gotten the chance to tell her that he was trying to protect her.
"You, think of another plan to kill her." A glimmer of malice flashed through Kate's eyes. "Gwen must die."
The only way for Steven to fall in love with her was to get rid of Gwen.
Initially, Kate had intended to replace Luke's brain with Steven's so that he would fall for her, but none of that worked. Even if she had not told Steven the truth, Joshua and Luna would eventually expose her.
This was why she had to risk everything and tell Steven the truth; she had hoped that Steven would be touched by her honesty and choose to be with her.
However, she had clearly underestimated him.
