Chapter 1009



“How could they do that to you?” Holley’s voice quivered with shock.

It was then that both noticed the fresh gauze wrapped tightly around Kylee’s arm.

Holley’s eyes welled up with tears as she gasped, “How could they be so cruel? Have they both lost their minds?”

Baker’s shock quickly morphed into suspicion. His gaze hardened as he questioned, “Kylee, be honest with me. Was Belinda’s occupational exposure your doing?”

“Yes… It was me. I planned it!” Kylee admitted.

Baker’s jaw tightened, his eyes narrowing. “You…”

Holley’s mouth fell open in shock.

Kylee’s sobbing intensified. Her words tumbled out in a chaotic rush. “Belinda deserved it! She had someone strip me naked, take obscene photos of me, and even rape me! I only wanted revenge! I didn’t do anything wrong!”

Baker’s face twisted in shock. “What? Is this true?”

Holley’s face instantly turned pale.

Kylee covered her face with trembling hands, her voice cracking under the weight of her pain. “She destroyed me first! I just retaliated! Why do I deserve this? Why does Lucas have to be so merciless?”

Holley abruptly stood from the couch, her body rigid with fury.

Without a word, she stormed into the kitchen.

Baker called after her, “Holley! What are you doing?” But Holley gave no response.

When Baker saw this, his expression shifted dramatically. He hurried forward, seizing Holley’s wrist firmly to stop her.

“What are you doing? Drop the knife, Holley! Put it down now!” His voice was urgent, laced with worry.

Holley shook him off with force, her face contorted with rage. Her entire body quivered with emotion. “Don’t you dare stop me! I’ll make those two devils pay!”

Tightening his grip, Baker frowned. “Calm down!”

Holley exclaimed, “Calm down? How can you ask me to do that? Kylee is my daughter, my whole world! I can’t calm down after learning about what she went through! Do you understand that?” As she spoke, her voice trembled.

Her beloved daughter had been ruined by Lucas and Belinda. How could she possibly remain calm?

She would kill Belinda!

Observing Holley’s state, Kylee felt a profound wave of emotion wash over her.

At that moment, she suddenly realized just how fortunate she was to have a mother like Holley—someone who always stood steadfastly by her side.

As Holley made another attempt to bolt out the door, Baker turned pleadingly to Kylee. “Kylee, talk to her! You have to stop her before she does something she’ll regret!”

Kylee stood, her voice unexpectedly gentle. “Mom… Please don’t go.”

Holley froze. That single word, “Mom,” echoed in her ears.
