Chapter 232

Hearing Jayden's words, Katherine simply smiled. She didn't take him too seriously.

"Thanks, but I'm not planning to go to Kyoland, nor am I planning to have anyone protect me. I can protect myself, so you don't have to worry about me."

She didn't even give his suggestion a second thought before declining. When Jayden was rechecked, he instantly frowned. "But it's dangerous for you to stay in Hovington. I heard that many groups of people have already caused you trouble. You—"

"But I'm still in one piece, aren't I?" Before he could finish talking, Katherine interrupted him, explaining, "No matter how many people come to me, or how much trouble they cause me, it'll be in vain."

Those people were nothing to her. She spoke with such indifference, but she also possessed a sense of strength and power that should never be taken lightly.

When Jayden saw that, his expression darkened a little, and for a moment, he didn't know how to respond.

At the side, Corey noticed that the interaction between them was taking an awkward turn. Curving his eyes, he decided to be the peacemaker and ease things over.

"Well, Kathy, Jayden is just worried about you. Even though we all know that you're strong and no common man can hurt you, when we see you facing so much danger, we still get worried. Moreover, Hovington isn't a special place. It's inferior to Kyoland in every aspect, so why did you choose to stay here?"

As soon as Corey finished speaking, Jayden nodded as well and went along.

"Yes, you can have anything you want in Kyoland, and you won't have to face these troubles. Kathy, I come here today in earnest hopes that you'll return with me. If not, I won't ever be able to rest assured."

For real? Katherine felt some irritation bubbling in her heart. She didn't even blink as she prepared to decline, but a low voice rang out behind her just then. "Mr. Hall, I'm afraid you're worrying too much."

The voice was all too familiar. Katherine turned around to see Joaquin walking slowly over to them. "Why are you here? What about Noah?" she couldn’t help but ask when she saw the unexpected guest.
