Chapter 94

Everyone knew Nathan's gift was just like Clara's, but nobody had told him it was inappropriate. The only reason? No one had a clue.

Elodie's perfectly maintained face froze for a second, her voice cool, "Katniss and I don't get along. She clicks with Aurora, not me. How would I know anything?"

"But Katniss is your daughter. Why don't you care about her at all?" Nathan felt a heavy weight in his chest.

"If Katniss were as thoughtful and sensible as Clara, and didn't pull those stunts, wouldn't I care about her? She brought this on herself." Elodie's tone was sharp, but worried about the impact on Nathan's health, she softened a bit, "If I had to choose, I'd pick Clara."

"Just act like before. Clara's still your little sister, and Katniss never existed." Elodie sounded tired.

Clara was the one who could keep the Manners family thriving, while Katniss was just trouble.

Elodie just wanted a peaceful life. Was that so wrong?

Lucas frowned and said in a deep voice, "Nathan, drop it. Are you really gonna upset Mom over Katniss?"

Nathan frowned slightly, then went quiet.

Katniss said softly, "No need to tell Maximilian about what just happened."

Conrad's eyes flashed with confusion, but he quickly nodded. "Okay."
