HappyNovelChapter 323: "Stop talking nonsense! You've always been jealous of Rachel because she's prettier than you!" Jeffrey shot back, his voice shaking. “And lettell you one last time—my mom isn't dead! She's up there, a star in the sky!" And with that, he spun around, ready to bolt.
But Kate wasn't about to let him escape so easily. She grabbed his wrist, refusing to let go. "You don't believe me? Fine! I'll prove it. I've got books in my room-tons of them. I'll show you the truth." Jeffrey, frail and weak back then, didn't stand a chance against her determination.
Before long, she had forcibly dragged him into her bedroom. Once inside, Kate hurled a stack of astronomy books at him, commanding him to read them.
When Jeffrey refused to comply, she began reading aloud passages about stars, methodically dismantling his cherished beliefs.

It also marked the first the felt genuine dislike toward Kate-the pampered girl who always appeared immaculately dressed.

But this? This was different.
"Open the door! I want to leave!" Jeffrey demanded, his voice hoarse. But Kate forced him to continue reading, to confront the truth, refusing to grant him an escape.

Kate, still unsatisfied, immediately pursued him, clutching his sleeve to halt his escape.

When Jeffrey rushed down to check on her, he found her lying in an expanding pool of crimson, her small body nearly covered in blood. It was this incident that ignited Moira's murderous intent toward Jeffrey and Rachel.

Her first words to Jeffrey carried a sinister undertone. "Hey, my sillyn brother, er, don't you miss your mom terribly? I've thought of a perfect way for you to see her." "What way?" Jeffrey gazed at her, his eyes brimming with innocent hope.
Kate's next words sent a chill straight to his bones. "I heard that if you die, heard that you can see the dead. So, if you go, you'll see your mom." Rachel, who had just arrived with a tray of food for Jeffrey, froze in the doorway.
Without a second thought, she put the tray down and lunged at Kate.
That day, Rachel beat Kate to a palp.
