Chapter 930



“1’ll ask you one last time—what’s the real reason behind your dismissal?” Carola’s expression was dark, her tone laced with barely contained fury.

Kylee swallowed hard, her heart racing. After what felt like an eternity of silence, her lips trembled as she finally confessed, “It’s… my fault.”

Carola’s scowl deepened, her face contorting with rage as she locked eyes with Kylee.

“Since you acknowledge that your dismissal stemmed from your own actions, why did you choose to deceive Mitchell by claiming it was Belinda who caused your dismissal? What exactly were you hoping to achieve?”

Kylee bit down on her lower lip, avoiding Carola’s searing gaze. She remained silent.

“Think about what you’ve done! As a physician, you acted recklessly enough to shred a patient’s medical file! And instead of expressing remorse for your actions, you had the audacity to shift the blame onto someone else! Is this the kind of person I raised you to be?” Carola trembled with indignation.

Baker stepped in, attempting to diffuse the escalating tension.

“Alright, Carola, it’s all in the past now. You—”

Before he could finish his thought, Carola interjected sharply, “What do you mean it’s in the past? Does that imply we can just overlook it and pretend it never happened?”

Her tone turned serious.

“Baker, I am teaching my daughter a lesson. Do you think shielding her from consequences is helping her? You’re only enabling her behavior, making matters worse!”

Baker’s expression turned dark in an instant.

“Enough!” Kylee suddenly exclaimed, her voice quivering with emotion. With tears shimmering in her eyes, she turned to Carola.

“You’re my mother! Why can’t you simply stand by my side and support me? I’ve already lost my job—why can’t you offer me comfort instead of scolding me? Why are you siding with Belinda, that outsider? She’s nothing more than an illegitimate child! I am your daughter!” She emphasized the last sentence with desperation as if trying to prove a point.

Carola slammed her palm on the table with force, her face flushing with anger and the veins in her forehead throbbing visibly.

“I’m trying to instill in you a sense of right and wrong! If I just side with you regardless of what you do, that will be bad for you! When did you lose all sense of right and wrong? So unwilling to face responsibility? You have truly disappointed me.”

Her words struck Kylee profoundly.

At that moment, Kylee’s thoughts drifted to Holley…

Holley had always stood steadfastly by her side no matter what she did.

“If you’re disappointed in me, then so be it! You’ve never liked me anyway!” With a heart-wrenching cry, Kylee sprang to her feet and dashed upstairs, tears cascading down her cheeks.
