Chapter 291
After parting ways with Georgina, Kylie took Joseph to the detention center.
Perla, implicated in the Garner family’s affairs, was awaiting trial
Not only facing legal consequences, but Perla’s life had also completely fallen apart. The media’s malicious attacks and
r death curses were enough to make her wish for
This was the retribution Perla deserved, and Kylie felt no sympathy.
Kylie didn’t come here willingly. It was the detention center that contacted her multiple times, saying that Perla wanted to
see her.
The prosecution also called, stating that the only condition for Perla’s cooperation in the investigation was Kylie’s presence.
Kylie had chosen to refuse several times, but this time, she decided to put an end to this matter.
Kylie didn’t want anyone to disturb her and Joseph’s life anymore.
Yes, she had accepted the reality of living without Ethan and starting a new life with Joseph.
She accepted the fact that Ethan had passed away, but her life continued.
–
Arriving at the detention center, Kylie bumped into Cohen, Mila and Samuel.
They all had extremely unpleasant expressions as they walked out. Their faces became even more grim upon seeing Kylie.
“Why are you here?” Cohen asked Kylie aggressively, but she didn’t respond.
“What, are you here to enjoy Perla’s misery?” Cohen sneered.
No matter how Perla treated them, Kylie couldn’t understand how Cohen could be so heartless, cold-blooded, and even. mocking her as a father.
“Perla deserves it! She collaborated with the Garner family to snatch the Stafford Group from us back then. Now, she’s getting what she deserves!” Cohen said, seeming quite pleased, probably thinking he had finally vented his anger.
“With Perla ending up like this, do you think your reputation is shining now?” Kylie coldly asked.
Cohen was momentarily stunned but quickly responded defiantly. “I severed ties with Perla a long time ago. Everyone knows we had a falling out. What she’s doing now has no impact on me.”
Kylie sneered.
“What are you laughing at!” Cohen’s face changed abruptly. “I’ve raised two ungrateful daughters like you and Perla, both wishing for my misfortune!”
“Are you sure you’ve only raised me and Perla? Why don’t you consider that maybe all your children are like this?” Kylie glanced at Samuel.
Samuel retorted, “Do you think I’m like you and Perla, willing to marry into another family? I’m Dad’s son. You and Perla are just daughters. Can we be the same?” He continued, “Daughters are commodities to be married off. How could you side with your family? I’m different. I can continue the family line. My children will bear the Stafford name. I am the root of the Stafford family
Listening to Samuel’s self-righteous words, Kylie couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Of course, Samue! couldn’t be entirely blamed. The Stafford family had raised him with such values. He considered himself the root of the Stafford family, with a status and position different from everyone else. He believed he should be adored by everyone. Without this mindset, Kylie and Perla wouldn’t harbor such resentment towards the Stafford family.
“Fine. Kylie had nothing more to say.
Since she had severed ties with the Stafford family, whatever path they chose for themselves was their business. It had nothing to do with her.
She walked past the Stafford family members without looking back.
“Kylie, Cohen suddenly called out, causing her to pause.
“You go persuade Perla to give up her shares in Stafford Group, Cohen commanded.
Kylie didn’t understand how Cohen got the audacity to ask her.
She felt no emotional connection with Perla now, so she wouldnt sympathize with her.
However, she looked at Cohen’s attitude from the perspective of a normal person.
What gave Cohen the confidence to take away the shares that Perla had earned with her self-esteem? And why did he feel entitled to ask her to help with it?
“Mr. Stafford.” Kylie felt that he didn’t deserve the title of a father.
Cohen’s face contorted with anger because of Kylie’s address.
“You just said you severed ties with Perla, so what right do you have to ask her to give up her shares in Stafford Group?” Kylie questioned.
The shares were originally mine!” Cohen argued vehemently.
“If it’s yours, it wouldn’t be in Perla’s hands. You’re quite shameless at your age!” Kylie remarked,
“You!” Cohen raised his hand, intending to slap Kylie.
Joseph immediately shielded Kylie behind him. His little face was filled with anger. “I won’t let you hit my mommy!”
Kylie felt a warm sensation in her heart.
They were family, but not all family members deserved that title.
She patted Joseph’s little cheek and smiled. “Don’t be afraid. He wouldn’t dare to hit me.”
Indeed, Cohen didn’t dare to strike her.
He still harbored some fear towards her, considering the disadvantages he had faced when dealing with her before.
Cohen forcefully dropped his hand and said bitterly, “The biggest regret in my life is raising the two ungrateful daughters, you and Perla!”
And there’s
‘s more regret to come in the future,” Kylie said while walking past Cohen. “The consequences of your actions are waiting for you.
Kylie, holding Joseph’s hand, left the scene.
Cohen angrily watched her retreating figure.
He believed that one day, Kylie would regret opposing him.

In the meeting room, Kylie and Perla sat facing each other.
Perla’s face was sickly pale, and she had lost a lot of weight.
A palpable weakness emanated from her, both physically and mentally, suddenly appearing defeated.
“Why are you looking for me?” Kylie asked bluntly, showing no trace of pity in her eyes.
Perla looked at Kylie and suddenly smiled.
However, her smile was filled with bitter self-derision.
She said. “Kylie, are you happy now that I’ve ended up like this?”
“Somewhat,” Kylie replied bluntly.
She genuinely believed that Perla deserved the consequences of her actions.
“Why? Why couldn’t I surpass you?” Perla asked, suddenly becoming emotionally agitated.
“I thought by marrying into the Garner family, I could rise to the top. But in the end, I still ended up in this pathetic state. Why? I can’t understand! I’ve been studying hard since I was young, trying to figure out how to harm you, how to stand out. I’ve been working so hard, but why is my outcome so miserable? Why!” Perla screamed at Kylie, releasing all the suppressed
emotions.
Her red eyes stared at Kylie. “What do I lack compared to you? Why are you living so well while I have fallen into such a notorious state? 1 just can’t understand!”
In the prison, Perla might not be aware that Ethan had already passed away
