After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 48

Chapter 48

"I got it," Maximilian shot back to Katniss.

Katniss couldn't hold back her tears, her eyes getting all red and puffy.

Who wouldn't want the safety and security of having someone to lean on? But no one had ever given her that kind of support, making her fearless. Except for Maximilian.

Now, she had someone to back her up too.

Maximilian's voice, though not loud, hit Calvin like a bolt of lightning.

Did he hear something wrong?

The person Maximilian mentioned was Katniss?!

Wasn't the old man who just came in Katniss's guardian?

Before he could ponder for long, Felix had already said to Katniss, "Katniss, Maximilian happened to be with me, so we came together to see you."

In just three seconds, Calvin was drenched in cold sweat, his legs going weak.

If Maximilian got angry, would there be any way out for their family?

Seeing Calvin's state, Ruby felt embarrassed.

So, she couldn't hit Katniss?

If she had known, she would have slapped Katniss earlier. So frustrating!
