?Chapter 1215:


    Katelyn leaned back in her chair, her expression as unyielding as stone.


    “You’re here because you broke thew! You’ve ruined countless lives, and now you don’t want to face the consequences? Do you think the world works on your terms?”


    If they’d had even a sliver of respect for thew before diving into their crimes, they wouldn’t have gone so far. But they had no conscience. They had no one else but themselves to me. Counting on her to save them? That was like expecting rain in the desert—utterly futile!


    Jeff’s frustration bubbled just beneath the surface, but before he could erupt, Sharon spoke hurriedly, her voice pleading.


    “Katelyn, we’re sorry! We made mistakes—terrible ones. We’ve paid for them, haven’t we? Please, if you help us out, we swear we’ll never do anything like this again.”


    Sharon’s desperation hung heavy in the air. The thought of staying in this wretched ce even a moment longer was unbearable. Since Lise had left, Deborah’s cruelty had only intensified. Sharon’s body bore the proof of it—a canvas of bruises and scars. Yet, despite the pain, she was forced to toil daily. Sharon’s once soft and delicate skin, a testament to her former life of privilege, had be rough and weathered. The memories of her past life as a wealthy wife shimmered like a mirage. But Katelyn remained unmoved.


    “I already told you. I’m not going to save you!”


    Katelyn paused briefly before continuing, her tone calm but cutting.


    “You should abide by thew and ept the punishment you deserve. When the timees, you’ll be released naturally.”


    Sharon’s face twisted with anger at Katelyn’s words. She mmed her hand on the table, the sound reverberating through the room. Pointing a trembling finger at Katelyn, Sharon shouted, “How ungrateful can you be? Is it really that hard to get us out? We raised you all these years, and this is how you repay us? If I had known it woulde to this, I would’ve thought twice about raising you! What use are you?”


    The guard immediately stepped forward, baton in hand, and barked, “Behave yourself!”


    At the sight of the baton, Sharon’s bravado instantly faded. She had suffered enough from it in prison and knew better than to push her luck.


    Though Jeff didn’t lose his temper, his grim expression betrayed his simmering rage, as if he wanted to tear Katelyn apart.


    Katelyn, however, remainedpletely unfazed, her voice cold and steady as she replied, “How is my sess any of your business? Don’t forget, you were the ones who cut ties with me. I gave you a billion as repayment for raising me. What more do you want?”

    Sharon, though subdued by the guard’s warning, continued to re at Katelyn, her voice dripping with disdain.


    “You think a billion canpensate for all our love and care? Never! You’re nothingpared to Lise. Our Lise is so much better than you.”


    Jeff nodded in agreement, his cold gaze locked on Katelyn.


    “We didn’t invest as much in Lise as we did in you, yet she sends us money to make our lives easier in here. What about you?”


    Their words were filled with praise for Lise, as if she were their pride and joy. Katelyn found itughable.


    She looked at them, her eyes tinged with sarcasm, and asked, “If Lise is so great, why hasn’t she gotten you out of here?”


    A sh of embarrassment crossed Sharon’s face. If they had been able to contact Lise, they wouldn’t have turned to Katelyn. But Sharon wouldn’t admit this. Feigning calm, she nced at Katelyn and said, “We just wanted to give you a chance to prove yourself.”
