He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 168

Chapter 168: Chapter 168

There was a long silence on the other side of the call. Erin knew that Kate must be fuming right now, angry at Erin for being so vile towards her.

But that was fair for Erin.

That bitch dared to kick and slap her just because Erin asked for a small favor. All Erin wanted was for Kate to threaten to resign in exchange for him to give Erin all of his undivided attention!

What’s so hard about that anyway?

"What took you so long to decide, sis? Do you want Mom to die?"

"... fine, I will give you all of my assets," Kate said. "I will make a three-way call with Mom, I want you to tell her that you’re doing just fine—great even. I also want you to tell her that she doesn’t need to worry anymore."

"Hmmm, sure, I don’t mind," Erin said. "But you got to remember, Sis. If you dare to lie to me and back off from your promise to give me all of your assets, then I will tell Mr. Grant to hunt you down, and I will make sure that you won’t be able to get any job after you get fired from the publishing company."

"I’m not the one to back down from my promise. I will give all of my assets to you, and then leave you alone. I will start a new life working another regular job while you’re staying with Mr. Grant," Kate promised. "But please, just don’t let Mom die, I’m begging you."

"Begging, huh? Well, it can’t be helped. Since I’m a kind girl, I will try to be civil and help you in this, sister," Erin said. "Now go merge the call and bring Mom into this phone call. I don’t have that much time. I’m so busy with Mr. Grant right now."

"O—okay."

Kate then made a three-way phone call with Erin and Hilda—their mother.

—

"Erin?" Hilda’s sweet yet weak voice vibrated in Kate’s heart, and she quickly responded.

"Mom, are you alright? You’re in good health, right?"

"I’m fine, Kate," Hilda’s voice sounded more formal when talking to her. But it became softer when she talked to Erin, "Erin, are you doing alright there? Kate put me in an expensive nursing home, so it’s hard for me to contact you."

Erin rolled her eyes.

She was annoyed by her mother, who latched on to her. Her mother called her at least twice a week before, and she found her sickly mother detestable.

She wanted to block her mother’s phone, but she was afraid it would give her another mini-heart attack that would kill her.

She didn’t want to kill her mother just yet. She wanted to ensure she could squeeze all the benefits out of her dying mother before she sent her to the afterlife.

But now that she had Mr. Grant, she didn’t need both Kate and Hilda.

But of course, she’d rather see her sister lose all of her assets that made her act so high and mighty.

Because at least she could witness Kate’s downfall firsthand.

’Hmm, it doesn’t matter in the end. Hilda will be asking about me again sooner or later, and Kate will have to give something else in exchange for her mother’s safety, hihi,’ Erin thought. ’First, I will make Kate lose all of her money, and then I will ask Henry to send as many thugs as possible to rape and beat her until she’s half dead! I bet she will still forgive me as long as Mom’s life is on the line!’

"Yeah, Mom, I’m in a very good mood today," Erin replied. "You don’t need to worry about me, because I recently got together with a handsome, and rich man. We’re currently on an expensive vacation, and he has been spoiling me with lots of money and gifts."

"Oh, that’s really good!" Hilda was so happy and relieved knowing her youngest daughter was doing great. "Are you going to marry him? If you do, don’t forget to go straight into the pregnancy program, consult an experienced doctor so you can get pregnant as soon as possible."

"You want me to get married and get pregnant as soon as possible? But I’m only 24, Mom," Erin said. But she wasn’t upset at all. She was amused, knowing that Kate must be hurting right now with this conversation.

"You should, after all, it will get increasingly difficult to get pregnant if you’re trying to get pregnant past thirty, like your sister," Hilda said. She then quickly pacified her oldest daughter, "No offense, Kate. I’m just making sure that Erin won’t make the same mistake as you. I don’t want her to marry late."

"It’s okay, Mom..." Kate said dejectedly.

Erin couldn’t hold her laugh as she was happy to hear Kate getting herself cornered like this, "Hihi, don’t be so mean to my sister, Mom. She might not be a complete woman, but she’s at least working hard."

"You’re right. I’m so sorry, Kate," Hilda said. Again, her voice sounded formal, as if speaking to a stranger. But she would always sound doting whenever she was talking with Erin. "Dear, can I call you again later? I miss you so much, and I’m scared that something might happen to you."

Erin rolled her eyes again, "No, Mom. You don’t need to call me too many times. I will call you when I feel like it, and don’t worry about me, I am doing GREAT!"

"By the way, I said I’m on vacation. But it’s only for me. My man is currently working hard while giving me money everyday just to spoil me," Erin said. She didn’t mention Henry’s name because she thought there might be a better option after marrying him.

After all, some extramarital affair wouldn’t hurt.

Erin didn’t want her mother to latch on to her. So she added, "I’m accompanying my man during his long business trip. So I’m going to be uncontactable most of the time."

"Remember, Mom. Don’t call me, and don’t think about begging Kate to call me, I am BUSY!" Erin raised her voice. "I will send pictures, voice mail, or gifts to you, so you will know that I’m doing good. Got it?
