After her rebirth

Maximilian patted Katniss on the head, "Want to go take a look?"

Katniss thought for a moment, "Better not."

Oliver had asked her to visit Elodie yesterday, and she did, although she didn't see her, it was enough.

"Then let's go." Maximilian, finally having a break, of course wanted to spend every moment with Katniss.

Katniss nodded in agreement.

But before they could leave the hospital, Maximilian received a phone call.

Whatever was said on the other end, after hanging up, Maximilian frowned.

Katniss asked, "What's wrong?"

"Company matters, nothing much."

Katniss knew that if it made Maximilian frown, it was probably not trivial, and insisted that Maximilian attend to his business.

Maximilian had no choice but to have Conrad accompany Katniss to ensure her safety.

After Maximilian left, Conrad dutifully followed Katniss.

Katniss received a call from Brent and hurried back to school.

As soon as Brent saw Katniss, he praised her, "Not bad! You got first place in the first round of the written test."

"Thank you."

Katniss humbly accepted the compliment and, seeing Brent take out a few books, knew that the main reason he called her was to urge her to focus on the second round.

Sure enough, Brent placed the books in front of Katniss and said, "These books are useful, and the second round is not far off. You can take them back and read." Katniss thanked him earnestly and took the books.

As soon as she left Brent's office, Conrad took the books from her.

Katniss hadn't walked far when two people blocked her way.

"Katniss, long time no see. Are you going to the library to return books? Let's go together." It was Nova who spoke, stepping forward and acting warmly after blocking Katniss.

Katniss took a step back, avoiding Nova's outstretched hand, and asked, "Do you have other business?"

The last time she met Nova, it didn't end well, and back then, the person following Nova was Skylar, but now it was someone else.

Seeing Katniss avoid her hand, Nova asked sadly, "Katniss, are you still holding a grudge about me asking you to give up the spot last time?"

"We weren't that close to begin with, were we?" Katniss didn't follow her lead but directly pointed out that they weren't familiar.

"You..." Nova looked troubled and sad.

Conrad, behind Katniss, couldn't help but laugh, "Ma'am, she really is like Clara."

Katniss also smiled and asked the embarrassed Nova, "Do you have anything else?"

Nova's level of two-facedness didn't even compare to Clara's. Besides being a bit annoying, Katniss didn't pay her much mind.

"No, nothing." Nova awkwardly smiled and stepped aside, pulling the person next to her away.

After walking a distance, the person next to her asked, "Is that Katniss? The one who took Skylar's spot?"

"Yes, if it weren't for her currying favor with Brent, she wouldn't have had a chance to get the spot." Nova said bitterly.

Katniss was a year younger but easily gained Brent's favor, which made Nova most jealous.noveldrama

"Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll make sure she loses her qualification. Since she did something wrong first, she should pay the price."

Hearing this, Nova felt relieved.

If Katniss's spot could be invalidated, she wanted to see how Katniss could still be smug in front of her!

Back home, Katniss seriously read the books Brent recommended, unaware that someone was plotting against her.

Compared to Katniss's calm, the Boleyn family was in chaos.

"You still dare to secretly meet Clara? If the Elise family finds out and the marriage alliance is ruined, don't expect me to protect you anymore!"

Gabriel angrily pointed at Desmond.

Gabriel was really furious, and what made him angrier was Desmond's unrepentant attitude.

If he hadn't accidentally seen Desmond returning early in the morning and sweet- talking Clara on the phone, he might never have known the truth.

Emily, while soothing him, gave Desmond a look.

Desmond quickly admitted his mistake, "Dad, I know I was wrong."

"You know you were wrong!? Then why did you still see Clara?"

"Clara's mom had an accident, she was very upset, and I was afraid she might do something rash, so I went to see her." Desmond couldn't help but explain.

As soon as Desmond finished, Gabriel raised his hand to slap him, "Still talking back? Did you hear anything I said? Didn't I tell you not to get involved with the Manners family anymore?"

The Manners family was nothing but trouble!

First, Simon from the Manners family got into trouble and went to jail, tarnishing the Boleyn family's reputation. Then Clara, the ex-fiancée, was the subject of rumors, causing another blow to the Boleyn family.

And now, another issue! Still related to Clara's mom.

Gabriel was really fed up, not wanting to hear any more nonsense, just wanting to discipline Desmond.

Emily stepped in front of Desmond before Gabriel's slap could land.

"Move aside!" Gabriel was so angry that his nose and eyes were flaring.

Emily didn't move. Usually meek, she only became firm when it came to her son, "He's grown up, talk to him reasonably, no hitting."

Gabriel, in his anger, slammed his hand on the table, startling Emily.

"Desmond, didn't you have a date with Brynn? If you don't go now, you'll be late."

After stopping Gabriel, Emily spoke to Desmond.

Her words were both a hint for Desmond to leave and a reminder to Gabriel.

Desmond had a date with Brynn, and Gabriel certainly wouldn't hit him at such a time. "Dad, I'll go now, Brynn is waiting for me." Desmond said and left in a hurry. After Desmond left, Gabriel angrily slapped his thigh and blamed Emily, "You always spoil him!"

Emily, unafraid, complained, "You always scold Desmond, he's scared of you. I think it's mainly Clara's fault! Desmond broke off the engagement with her and helped her with many troubles, yet she still clings to him!"

Gabriel frowned, Clara's actions were indeed unlikable.

Long ago, he had high hopes for Clara as a daughter-in-law, but now it seemed he was blind back then.

And his son, his judgment was never good.

Not only was his judgment poor, but he was also stubborn.

Seeing Gabriel silent, Emily continued to complain, "You only scold our son, why don't

you warn Clara to stay away from Desmond?"

"She does need a good warning."

Gabriel thought of Clara's previous promises and her current actions, feeling disgusted, and decided to do something about it.
