Kate was disappointed but not surprised.
Of course, it wasn't surprising for the mother of a lazy and manipulative asshole to be in cahoot with her son. Matt must've gotten those traits from somewhere, and definitely not from his father.
Kate remembered Matt's late father.
He was an honest man, a bit plain and awkward, but he was a hard worker that was well-loved by the community.
But his wife?
"Heh, I should've known…" Kate sneered.
Mary always had a bad reputation in their small community. She was overbearing and entitled. She often had a scuffle with fellow moms and was a gossip monger.
Of course, Kate willingly looked over her flaws and tolerated Mary because she happened to date Mary's son. However, she had always hated her mother-in-law to the bone since day one.
Kate had a small guess of why Mary would break into her family's house when her mother was hospitalized.
