After her rebirth

Simon followed the tow truck company to the repair shop, and the mechanic looked surprised, "How did it get this banged up?"

"That's none of your business. Just fix the car! I can afford whatever it costs!" Simon's face was dark, and his tone was very irritable.

The mechanic shrank back, not daring to say another word.

Then Simon took out a pack of cigarettes, glanced at the cars around him, walked out of the repair shop, and stood aside to smoke.

That Katniss, always strutting around with a bodyguard.noveldrama

Just wait until she doesn't have a bodyguard with her, and see how I'll deal with her.

Suddenly, Simon's vision went black as someone covered his head with a rough burlap sack.

A strong force grabbed his neck and hands, and he was dragged somewhere and thrown hard to the ground, his back hitting a cold, hard wall, sending a wave of pain through him.

Simon curled up in pain.

Then came a barrage of punches, hitting him hard on his body, arms, and legs.

His face, arms, and legs took the brunt of the beating.

Simon curled up, the fierce blows almost knocking him out, unable to utter a word, only uncontrollably wailing.

He didn't know how long it lasted, but the punches finally stopped.

Simon heard footsteps gradually moving away until they disappeared. Only then did

he have the strength to pull off the burlap sack from his head.

As his vision returned, Simon's eyes were red as he looked around.

There was no one in sight.

The repair shop was noisy with the sound of machines, and his attempts to call out were drowned out.

In the chaos, Simon's phone had fallen somewhere. He endured the pain and searched the ground for it.

After a difficult search, he finally found it and immediately called Lucas.

Lucas was dealing with business headaches.

Since Maximilian cut off the municipal project, those who had been trying to curry favor with the Manners family because Clara was about to join the Boleyn family had turned against them.

The Manners family and Lucas's personal business were greatly affected, and their finances were in trouble.

On the phone, Simon's voice was weak and pained, "Lucas, come save me. I've been beaten up. I'm almost dead!"

When Lucas arrived at the hospital, Simon had just been wheeled out of the emergency room.

As soon as Simon saw Lucas, he started wailing, "Lucas!! You're finally here."

Lucas lowered his gaze, seeing Simon lying on the hospital bed, and pursed his lips.

Simon's neck and arms were bandaged, and one leg was in a cast.

But the worst was his face, bruised and swollen.

Lucas's face was cold and stern, "Who did this?"

"Someone ambushed me from behind. I didn't see his face. He ran away after the beating."

"Damn it! If you have the guts, fight me fair and square!!"

Simon was furious, his eyes almost spitting fire, "If I find out who it is, I'll beat him to death."

"Have you offended anyone recently? Tell me everything, and I'll have someone investigate."

Hearing this, Simon's eyes flickered, and he clenched his fists, shouting, "It was Katniss! Yes, I saw her today. I was just trying to scare her a bit.

"And then she had a car hit me! The person who beat me must be Katniss's doing too!"

Outside the hospital room, Oliver and Elodie had just arrived after receiving a call and heard every word.

Clara, who had just gotten out of school, was with them.

She quietly curled her lips, her eyes flashing with a sinister light.

Then she rushed to Simon's bedside, crying, "Simon, what happened to you? Does it hurt?"

See, this is his real sister!

Simon weakly raised his hand to rub Clara's head, "I won't die. Don't cry."

Elodie looked at Simon's once handsome and sunny face, now in this state, and felt heartbroken.

She asked Simon, "Simon, you said Katniss had someone beat you?"

"Who else but Katniss! I remember now, those heavy footsteps must be her bodyguard!"

Elodie was furious, "What is this Katniss trying to do! Last time she almost crippled your arm, and now she's beaten you like this. She's too outrageous!"

Oliver's face was ashen, his lips pressed tightly together, saying nothing.

Simon gritted his teeth, "Mom, we can't let Katniss get away with this!"

Elodie agreed with Simon, slamming the table in anger, "I'm going to settle this with her right now. I want to see what kind of heart she has to do such a vicious thing!" With that, Elodie started to walk out.

Oliver's face was dark and complex, his eyes filled with restraint. As Elodie passed by, he reached out and stopped her.

Elodie looked at him in confusion, then heard Oliver say, "The house is already in chaos. We'll find another time to settle this with Katniss!"

Elodie was furious, "Oliver! We should teach her a lesson right now!"

Lucas's eyes were deep. Elodie couldn't see the current situation and the pros and cons, but he and Oliver could.

He looked at Elodie and said calmly, "Mom, Dad is right. Besides, Simon was the one who scared Katniss first."

Although he didn't know the exact situation, Lucas knew Simon's temperament.

After saying this, he glanced at Simon with a hint of reproach.

Simon gritted his teeth, unconvinced.

"Lucas, so what? She bullies Clara so much and has caused our family so much trouble."

"What's wrong with me scaring her a bit!"

In fact, if Conrad hadn't stopped him, Simon would have really crashed into her.

Lucas frowned, his tone reproachful, "There are many ways to vent your anger, but you chose the most foolish one."

"If Katniss made a move, she wouldn't leave any evidence."

"She could even frame you and put all the blame on you."

Hearing this, Simon didn't have time to respond before Elodie snorted angrily, "How

dare she say that! Simon was just joking around, but she went for the kill!"

Elodie thought of something and asked Oliver, "Oliver, are you stopping me because of Maximilian?"

"Look at what they've done to our son! You can tolerate it, but I can't!"

"Why should Katniss get away with it! Even if Maximilian steps in, he can't stop me from disciplining my own daughter."

Oliver stood there, his face cold with anger, "Katniss won't get away with this. I'll find time to settle this with her!"

Not far away, Nathan had just arrived and couldn't help but sneer at this.

Simon glared at him, "What are you laughing at?"

Nathan, hunched over, raised his delicate face and said calmly, "You all seem to have forgotten that Katniss was long ago adopted by Wesley! It's all in black and white. She has nothing to do with us now."
