Katrina is linked to the Andersons through Carl. When Carl was alive, the rest of the family did not accept Katrina. Now that he has died, they are eager to cut off everything with her. She felt so sad for her Uncle"s death, but his family still wanted to drive her out. Anxious not to give her a chance to bid farewell. Without Carl, Katrina knows that the Andersons have no reason to keep her in their lives. Uncle Anderson is the only one who gave me a home. There"s no need to keep ties with them if they don"t want me in their lives.
Katrina promises, "Don"t worry. In the future, I will never contact any of you again! I came here to see him for the last time,"
"Katrina, you"d better remember that, or we"ll make you regret it!" Sophie threatens her.
Standing behind Katrina, Aaron watches as the Andersons hurl abuse at her and sever all relations with her. He had no intention of intervening with the family feud, but when they accuse Katrina as a murderer and cut off ties with her, he can"t stay silent anymore.
Aaron steps beside Katrina and wraps an arm around her shoulders. Dark eyes sweeping over the aggressive women, he says in a cold voice, "You"re the ones who should remember what happened today! Believe me; if you keep ranting against her, I will not let you pa.s.s, easily,"
They all suddenly realize that Katrina is not alone. A handsome man suddenly steps in and warn her. His presence makes Sophie feel a little fear.
Sophie is speechless to see Aaron holding Katrina so protectively. With his good looks and dignified temperament, Aaron is no doubt an extraordinary man. Who is this man? Why is he so protective of Katrina? What does he mean by that? Why is he threatening me?
Samuel recognizes Aaron immediately. "Aaron Wilson?" he asks in disbelief, gawking at the realization. Samuel thought that they couldn"t afford to offend Mr. Wilson.
Before Carl died, he groomed Samuel to take over the family business by teaching him how to run the company and taking him to social engagements. As a businessman, Samuel knows about Aaron"s ident.i.ty. With Aaron"s legendary status, he is not qualified to even set up a meeting with him. He is the most dangerous man in the business world. No one dares to humiliate him.
Despite not knowing who Aaron is, Winnie and Sophie can tell from his behavior and Samuel"s shock that he is someone of great importance.
Aaron doesn"t care about the Andersons" reaction to seeing him. He takes out a checkbook from his pocket and writes down a series of numbers before signing his name and tearing it off. "One million! Is that enough? I hope this huge money would shut your mouth immediately," A sarcasm added to Aaron"s voice while looking at Sophie.
The family is too shocked by Aaron"s actions to understand and respond.
Aaron sweeps his eyes over them in disdain. "Katrina has been living in your house for many years. One million should be enough to pay for her so-called debt to you. If it"s not enough, tell me, and we can be done with you!"
Realization dawns on Winnie. "He wants to pay for the years we took her into the family? This b.i.t.c.h finds a sugar Daddy, but the man looks dignified and young!"
Katrina lives a simple life. While she was in their care, she only needed money for necessities like clothing and food. Even with the tuition for her education, it wouldn"t cost much.
One million is more than enough. If this man wants to pay for her debts, we"re not going to refuse! Despite the temptation to ask for more, Winnie is too frightened of Aaron to do so. She stutters out, "I-it should be enough. Thank you,"
Aaron sneers and throws the check right at Winnie"s face, and she hurries to catch it.
With a steely look, he says in a cold voice, "This is Katrina"s reimburs.e.m.e.nt for all the years you took her in. From now on, she has nothing to do with you. Remember everything you told her today and don"t trouble her again. Otherwise, I won"t let you go!"
The whole family is deeply shocked. They can"t believe that someone would be going to protect Katrina this way.
When Katrina turns to Aaron in awe and disbelief, he squeezes her shoulder in comfort.
Aaron knows that the Andersons think they have the right to bully and humiliate Katrina because they adopted her. He hates nothing more than their ent.i.tled att.i.tude towards her. Now that they"re cutting all ties with her, he wants to seize the opportunity to repay all of Katrina"s so-called debt and warn them against bullying her again. He can"t let this Anderson family humiliate his future wife.
It doesn"t matter if they don"t like her. I"ll shower her with all the love she deserves. As long as I"m with her, I"ll never let her suffer their abuse again!
Every dog has its day. If they get into trouble and need help in the future, they better not bother Katrina for help! She doesn"t owe them anything anymore, and she doesn"t have any obligation to help them! I will remember what they said against her. She may be an orphan, but for me, she"s the most precious gift that I have.
With that, Aaron takes Katrina by the hand and strides out of the hospital. "Let"s go back home, and you owe nothing to them starting today. Bear that in your mind,"
Katrina didn"t reply, and she let him hold her hands. With Aaron"s protection, she feels safe.
A mult.i.tude of emotions rushes into Farrah as she watches the scene unfold. She is impressed by the way Aaron came to Katrina"s aid and how he handled the situation.
For the sake of Katrina"s dignity, he gives the Andersons a check so she would no longer feel burdened by grat.i.tude for Carl"s kindness to her. In one swift action, he was able to fix all of her problems with that wretched family!
