Chapter 86

Maximilian grabbed the photos and documents, gave the faces in the pictures a quick glance, and then tossed them aside. He was all about Ramon's file.

The file was short and to the point, detailing Ramon's past and his rap sheet. No big crimes like murder or arson, but plenty of fights and brawls, leading to multiple arrests. Maximilian flipped through the pages fast, stopping when something caught his eye.

It showed that Ramon had once helped Kieran deal with a coworker he had beef with at the company, and he had been pretty brutal. Kieran had smoothed it over with cash. Emilio scratched his nose. "Looks like there's no one else backing Katniss."

Katniss' identity was really unsettling, and her timing was just too perfect.

Maximilian looked down for a moment, then said calmly, "Take care of these troublemakers."

Emilio nodded, "Got it."

He pursed his lips, thinking to himself, 'Ramon's got some bad luck. Of all people, he messed with Katniss.'

Time flew by, and a few days later, it was time for Katniss to leave the hospital.

During her stay, Katniss had rested well, had great meals, and recovered nicely.

Felix came to pick her up himself, making sure to note down all the doctor's instructions, not wanting to miss a thing.

When they left the hospital, he didn't let her carry a single thing, making her walk ahead with empty hands, feeling a bit awkward.

Though it felt strange, it also warmed her heart.

In the past, with her so-called family, she had never been taken care of like this. She even had to serve tea and water. She never expected to feel the warmth of a home from people who weren't even related to her. Especially compared to the last time she was discharged, Clara had a crowd around her, while Katniss was left alone at the hospital entrance.
