"When you were taken away, hardly anyone saw."

Mrs. Kane said gently, turning her head to instruct the servant to bring over the brewed ginger tea, feeding June Kane personally.

"Besides, you haven’t done anything wrong."

Mrs. Kane’s words made June Kane’s face look icy and unpleasant.

As Mrs. Kane scooped up the ginger tea to June’s lips, June stretched out a trembling hand and knocked the ginger tea directly away.

The boiling ginger tea splashed all over Mrs. Kane’s hands and body, it must’ve hurt a lot, yet not a single sound escaped her except ordering a servant to bring a clean towel to wipe herself dry.

"Your anger is useless."

"Get well first, then we’ll talk!"

Mrs. Kane displayed remarkable patience; even as June treated her like this, she managed to hold her temper and persuade her—something that made the Kane family’s servants think June was going too far.

One is a daughter already married off, the other is the mistress of the Kane family.

June Kane overestimated herself, not realizing who will truly hold sway in the Kane family in the future.

"Hmph!"

June Kane snorted coldly; she never regarded Mrs. Kane highly. Without her, could the woman standing before her have married Mr. Kane?

"You know, you shouldn’t have impulsively run to Claire Sullivan’s house to settle scores."

Mrs. Kane continued in a soft tone, "Even if she was the one who wronged you back then, it’s been so many years. The police can’t do anything about her now." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Over twenty years have passed, she’s already been put in her place. The Kane family set their sights on Simon Sterling, planning to have him earn money for the family and marry the ruined daughter, withdrawing the accusations against Claire Sullivan.

However, Claire Sullivan was released due to insufficient evidence.

Now, if the Kane family truly wanted to reopen the issue surrounding Claire Sullivan’s past, it’s impossible to send her to the police again.

"You want me to endure it?"

June Kane shouted angrily, "Simon Sterling divorced me, he divorced me."

Moreover, Simon knows that on the Sterling family’s island, it was because she wanted Serena Sullivan dead.

Given Simon’s concern for Claire Sullivan, he will surely retaliate against her next.

And Serena Sullivan, that little minx, relying on Ethan Grant, dares to act like this. She should have been more ruthless back then, suffocating her and throwing her into the sea.

If that had been done, where would there be a chance to live and flaunt in front of her now?

"Mom knows about your divorce from Simon. She’s angry too."

Mrs. Kane said with a smile, "But, anger is worthless."

"You need to endure, wait a while, then we’ll plan accordingly."

"Why should I endure!" June Kane complained, "It’s Claire Sullivan who came to snatch Simon away."

"She left Imperial Capital so many years ago, and still dares to return!"

"Exactly!"

Mrs. Kane agreed with June’s words, smiling lightly, "After all these years, how does she even have the nerve to return!"

"Either way, even if I abandon my reputation, I’ll make sure Claire Sullivan suffers."

Though saying this, June was indeed too afraid to risk her reputation.

She was genuinely frightened that events from twenty years ago would be exposed, and countless people would point fingers at her accusingly.

Then there’s Felicity!

"Wendy."

June recalled something, looking up at Wendy Monroe, "Do you think mom would really disclose my twenty-year-old secret to the media?"

The Dowager Kane had mentioned it before; she is now divorced.

If it truly gets exposed, while Claire Sullivan might be talked about, June Kane would face much harsher criticism.

"I would worry more about whether Claire Sullivan might reveal it."
