CHAPTER 422

As a biological mother in the eyes of others, it was too easy for people to believe what she said about her children.

She deliberately did something to put the blame on Karina's son, then complained to her husband and the rest.

No one doubted her words back then.

Who would doubt a mother to frame her own son?

As a result, the son of Karina, who was originally smart and talented, and who was deeply loved by Max and Victor, gradually fell out of favor.

Everyone agreed that he was a thief; a naughty, mischievous, and unrepentant boy.

She knew that she couldn't be too hasty and directly kill Karina's son because that might arouse suspicion from others.

Therefore, she did not harm Karina's son directly but used a slow burn method to pile up the hatred and diminish the adoration that Max and Victor had for Karina's son. After that, she used the excuse of education to punish him.

The process was a thrilling one for her!

The fact that she could justly torture Karina's son, slap him in the face, beat him with a belt, and watch him kneel before her while begging for mercy was an exhilarating experience for her!

She hoped that she could continue torturing him until he died from a serious illness, or suffered from mental problems and be sent to a sanatorium. Only then could she be free of the burden he gave her.

What she didn't expect was that Karina's son ran away.

That was even better!

If he died outside, no one could avenge him!

Later, she pretended to be anxious and sent manpower in search of his whereabouts, but her wish was granted, and he was not found.

Years passed, yet there was no news of that child.

She thought that a child in his teens, without any ability to protect himself, must have died in the wild.

No one knew that she once swapped her daughter for Karina's son.

Although Karina was still doing better than her, as long as she thought that Karina once had a son who was tortured by her, and her biological daughter was held in her hand by Karina as the princess of the Whitfield Family, she felt delighted.

So what if Karina had a better marriage life than her?

Wasn't she just a huge fool? She wasn't even aware that she lost her son and even foolishly regarded

her daughter like a precious child, pampering her as she grew up.

Katrina thought she was superior to Karina, but the latter married a better family than her, which was why she found it unfair. Swapping her daughter for Karina's son and making her son disappear from this world made her feel somewhat balanced. As a biological mothar in tha ayas of othars, it was too aasy for paopla to baliava what sha said about har childran.

No ona knaw that sha onca swappad har daughtar for Karina's son.

Although Karina was still doing battar than har, as long as sha thought that Karina onca had a son who was torturad by har, and har biological daughtar was hald in har hand by Karina as tha princass of tha Whitfiald Family, sha falt dalightad.

So what if Karina had a battar marriaga lifa than har?

Wasn't sha just a huga fool? Sha wasn't avan awara that sha lost har son and avan foolishly ragardad har daughtar lika a pracious child, pamparing har as sha graw up.

Katrina thought sha was suparior to Karina, but tha lattar marriad a battar family than har, which was why sha found it unfair. Swapping har daughtar for Karina's son and making har son disappaar from this world mada har faal somawhat balancad.

It was a pity that she couldn't tell Karina about this.

She couldn't say it when she was alive, and even when she was about to die… she had to think about her children and grandchildren.

She did something that was enough to make Karina suffer for the rest of her life, but she could only take it into her coffin and not let anyone know about it. Thinking about it, she felt regretful.

Now, she didn't have to feel regretful anymore, because this matter had been exposed.

She had no regrets, but she felt terrified.

When it wasn't revealed, everything was fine, but now that it was known, disaster would dawn on her.

Since Karina had no evidence, she could argue that there was a storm that night with lightning flashes and thunder roars, causing the lights in the house to be too dim that her mother was too flustered and carried the wrong child.

Since Karina had no evidence, it seemed that she couldn't do anything to her. However, some things were not dependent on the surface but on the essence.

The essence of the current situation was that the Cavendish Family was dependent on the Whitfield Family to survive. If the Whitfield Family wanted to wipe out the Cavendish Family, the Cavendish Family would undoubtedly be done for!

As for her, she would lose everything she had!

Her two daughters and son would follow in her footsteps and roam the streets!

At this moment, she felt unprecedented regret.

How could she have thought of swapping her daughter with Karina's son back then?

It wasn't like she couldn't have another baby!

Taking Karina's son away and letting Karina take care of her daughter was a thrilling experience for her, but she couldn't bear the consequences of her actions.

It was just like if someone didn't like another person, killing the other person would sound like an exhilarating thing to do, but one couldn't bear the consequences of committing a crime.

Only a fool would be willing to exchange a momentary pleasure for a lifetime of unhappiness!

The one who was bewitched for a moment and exchanged her own daughter for Karina's son was a big

fool.

Now that the situation had evolved into this, Victor understood the whole story. He almost fainted because of Katrina!

He never dreamed that she would do such a maddening thing in order to stabilize her position in their family!

How could she trade her daughter for Karina's son?!

Though she kept denying it, only a dummy would believe her.

If she really didn't know, she would have taken good care of Karina's son.

In fact, she pampered her two daughters and youngest son, raising them like precious diamonds, but abused Karina's son in every possible way.

As long as one wasn't dumb, they wouldn't buy her words.

Overwhelmed by anger, Victor raised his trembling fingers and pointed at Katrina's nose. "You… How could you do something like that? You were the one who gave birth to your child. They aren't items. How could you trade them just like that?!"

"No, Dad…" Katrina shook her head in a panic. "Dad, you must believe me. I don't know anything!"

"Bullsh*t!" Victor cursed due to fury. "If you weren't aware of anything, you would've taken good care of Nolan instead of ostracizing him, you heartless beast!"

This time, Victor no longer cared to curse his lungs out. He had no intention of defending Katrina anymore.

Victor became wiser as he aged. Since he was a sensible person, he knew very well that what he had to do now was to draw a clear line with Katrina.

He had to show the Whitfields that it was all Katrina's own doings back then. Besides her, no one else in the family was involved.

Only by drawing a clear line with Katrina could he keep the Cavendish Family.

Moreover, what he said was the truth.

If he had known that Katrina was a beast who could even abandon her own child, he would rather his eldest son be a bachelor all his life than allow his eldest son to marry her.

"Max." He glared angrily at his eldest son and demanded, "Divorce this heartless woman immediately!"

Max nodded hastily and said, "Yes, Dad. I'm calling the lawyers right away."

Without a second of delay, he fished out his phone to call the lawyers.

Seeing that, Katrina pounced on him and cried, "What are you doing, Max?"

"What am I doing? Divorcing you, of course!" Max pushed her away in a fury.

"Look at what you've done! Have I or my dad ever despised you for not bearing a son? Why were you in a rush to have a boy when we were still young back then? Didn't you bear a son afterward? Did you really have to resort to stealing someone else's child? Besides, Karina and Aidan treat us well. How could you bear to take their child away? After you took their child, you should've raised him properly instead of ostracizing him to the point that he couldn't live in our house anymore! Dad is right. You're a heartless, inhumane beast! I must divorce you in case you set me up one day when I get on your nerves!"
