After her rebirth

Suddenly mentioned by Nathan, Oliver felt so frustrated he almost wanted to spit blood, his face turning a few shades darker.

When he and Elodie signed the severance agreement, they were so decisive.

Who would have thought she had already leaned on Maximilian at that time?

If Katniss hadn't been adopted out, even Maximilian wouldn't have been able to meddle in his family affairs.

He could treat Katniss however he wanted.

Now Katniss was publicly recognized as Maximilian's wife by both the Hamilton family and the Boleyn family.

Her status and position were completely different from before.

Elodie, reminded by this, also calmed down a bit.

But she still couldn't help trembling with anger, "I owe her, don't I? She's been adopted

out, and she still hurt my son like this. How can I swallow this anger?"

Seeing her like this, a trace of impatience flashed across Oliver's face.

"Dad!"

Simon was unwilling and wanted to say something more, but Oliver's face darkened, "Don't say anything. Just stay in the hospital and temper your character. Don't be impulsive in the future."

At this point, Oliver was extremely annoyed.

Oliver angrily said, "If it weren't for the engagement party and your punch, the situation wouldn't be this bad now."

Hearing this, Simon immediately shouted, "Dad, you're wronging me!"

"Katniss finally leaned on Maximilian. Even without my punch, she would have found countless reasons to deal with us."

"Don't you know her? She's the most vengeful and ungrateful person!"

Oliver fell silent, not denying Simon's words.

Then he furrowed his brows tightly and couldn't help but sigh, "I don't know what kind

of bad deeds our Manners támily has done to raise such a vile child."

Lucas raised his wrist, glanced at the time, and tugged at his dark suit tie, "Dad, there's

still work at the company. I won't say more, I'm heading back."

Oliver sighed, "I'm going back too. I have a pile of work waiting for me."

Saying this, Oliver's eyes flickered, then he looked at Elodie with a serious face, "I won't be home tonight, I'll sleep at the company."

Elodie complained, "Sleeping at the company again? You haven't been home for a week."

Oliver didn't say much more and left with Lucas.

Before leaving, Lucas took Nathan along, saying as they walked, "You're not in good health, don't wander around to avoid any accidents."

Nathan pressed his pale lips together and smiled, "I'm already like this, what more could happen?"

Hearing this, Lucas fell silent, patted Nathan's back with his large hand, silently comforting him.

After a pause, Nathan asked, "Lucas, about today's matter, is it because you think Simon was wrong and didn't go after Katniss, or because you're afraid of Maximilian?"

The next second, Lucas raised his eyes, his brows furrowed, "Katniss shouldn't have been so ruthless. Simon is, after all, her brother from the same mother."

In fact, Simon should be closer to her than us. They were together since the embryo stage.

Nathan chuckled lightly, a bit of disappointment in his eyes, "Lucas, you used to be the most fair and just. Have you changed? Whatever Simon says goes. Why don't you ask Katniss and investigate this matter, find out the cause and effect?"

"Or do you think investigating this is a waste of your precious time?"

Lucas squinted his eyes, unhappily glancing at the sickly Nathan.

"Nathan, what do you mean?"

Nathan chuckled lightly, his delicate pale face carrying a hint of mischief, "I suddenly feel that some things need to be seen with your own eyes, not through others."

After saying this, Nathan coughed, stepped forward, and got into the car. Leaving behind a Lucas with an inscrutable expression.

Clara watched them leave, remained silent for a while, then clenched her fingers tightly, digging into her palm.

If it were before, Katniss dared to do this, she would have beaten her half to death immediately.

Now, she was finding excuses, clearly because of Maximilian, starting to fear Katniss. She would never allow the situation to develop like this!

Beside her, Simon was questioning his life.

Oliver and Lucas didn't immediately help him deal with Katniss, and he was even lectured.

Clara suppressed her emotions, her gaze falling on Simon's face, her soft fingertips gently touching his face, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Simon, don't be angry. Fortunately, you only suffered minor injuries, which means Katniss didn't really want your life."

Simon gritted his teeth, his face turning grim. At this moment, his hatred for Katniss reached its peak.

He had never been so humiliated!

He could tell today that the other party didn't hold back at all. He survived purely because of his luck!

Simon punched the bed, his eyes bloodshot.

Recently, he had been beaten again and again, all thanks to Katniss!

"Simon, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

Clara's eyes widened in fear, her shoulders trembling, "Don't be like this, I'm so scared. Does your hand hurt?"

Saying this, Clara took Simon's hand and started to massage it.

Elodie pulled Clara over, protecting her behind her, and said to Simon, "Simon, I'm

angry too. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer in vain."

"Your dad is just concerned about Maximilian. I'll think of another way."

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Clara's eyes, and she deliberately sighed, "Mom, don't go looking for Katniss."

"She has that bodyguard Conrad protecting her. If she dared to hurt Simon, she might hurt you too..."

Elodie snorted disdainfully, "She wouldn't dare!"

"After all, I brought her into this world. If she dares to be unfilial, she won't fear being struck by lightning!"noveldrama

Clara held Elodie's hand, gently soothing her, "Mom, don't be angry. If you get wrinkles, how will people mistake us for sisters when we go out?"

Elodie couldn't help but laugh, her anger towards Katniss dissipating significantly.

"Clara always knows how to make me happy."

"By the way, Clara, you were in the car today too. You must have been scared. Since your dad isn't coming home, you can sleep with me tonight."

"Okay, Mom." Clara agreed happily.

She squeezed Clara's palm, feeling very fortunate, "Luckily, I always have you by my side. You're truly a little angel sent to me by heaven."

Katniss is such a nuisance!

Meanwhile, Katniss, whom Elodie called a "nuisance," had already been picked up by Conrad.

The car was driving on the highway.

Conrad kept glancing at Katniss through the rearview mirror.

He was someone who couldn't hide anything. Katniss closed her book, looked up at him, and smiled, "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Mrs. Hamilton, I am ordered to protect you. Whoever poses a threat to your safety, I will deal with them!"

Katniss squinted her clear eyes and asked calmly, "So, who did you deal with?"

Katniss was so sharp, she guessed it right away. Conrad licked his lips and said softly, "Simon, I broke his arm and leg, and I also punched his face."
