Chapter 117

Ruby's face turned beet red as she pointed at Katniss and let loose a string of curses, while Clara, looking pale and shaky, hid behind her.

"Katniss, how could you do this? Clara was trying to help you, and you repay her with betrayal? No wonder your parents and brother can't stand you. Nobody can handle your nasty personality. You totally deserve it!" Ruby fumed. Clara had tried to help, only to get bullied and now tangled up with Ellen, while Katniss, in a bid to save herself, threw Clara under the bus.

Having a sister like Katniss, Clara was really in a tough spot!

Katniss sneered, her slightly turned face looking even more delicate, "Don't think someone's pitiful just because they're crying. If you don't know the whole story, stay out of it. Meddling in it won't make you look kind, it'll just make you look dumb!"

Clara, tears welling up, tried to speak but was cut off coldly by Katniss. "Do you know what her son did? He committed economic crimes, embezzling and misappropriating hundreds of thousands of dollars. You think you're above the law, making judgments without any evidence!"

The cold wind blew, lifting Katniss's slightly curled hair, making her cold smile look like a disdainful siren, "If you want to be a good person, go save him! Save an economic criminal, what a hero you are!"

Clara bit her lip, her eyes slightly red, looking as pitiful as Lisa, evoking sympathy, "I didn't know..."

"If you didn't know, then why meddle? Are you an idiot?" Katniss glanced at the group, guessing Conrad had arrived.

She lifted her foot and walked out.

After a few steps, a tall figure appeared in front of her, blocking her way. Ramon stood there.

Ramon looked at Katniss's beautiful face, his heart slightly trembling, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
