Chapter 69
Katniss, driven by sheer survival instinct, whipped out her phone and dialed a number from her contacts.
Desmond was the first name on her speed dial.
The phone buzzed, and Desmond paused, seeing Katniss's name flash on the screen.
Just as he was about to pick up, Lucas turned around and asked why he was lagging behind.
"Katniss is calling," Desmond said, showing Lucas the screen.
Lucas squinted at the name, "So, she's finally caving in and calling for mercy? Wasn't she all tough, wanting to ditch the Manners family, and now she's back to bugging you?" Desmond might've agreed with Lucas before.
But after their last rough conversation, Desmond wasn't so sure.
Lucas, though, snatched Desmond's phone, hung up, and turned it off.
"If she wants to beg, she better show some real effort. Don't go soft on her!" Lucas patted Desmond's shoulder, "Come on, today's deal is crucial. You've put in so much work, don't let it go to waste."
Lucas added, "Seal this deal, and your grandpa will see you differently. You'll have a say in your marriage with Clara."
Desmond hesitated for a moment, but hearing Clara's name, his expression softened, and he pocketed the phone.
Lucas was right. For his future with Clara, he had to nail this deal.
Katniss's call could wait.
