Inside the Car

As soon as Katniss hopped in, she was greeted by Maximilian's ridiculously handsome face.

Maximilian squinted and glanced out the window. "The Scott family giving you grief?"

Katniss was a bit taken aback to see him but played it cool. "Kieran's in jail, and Ellen knows I had a hand in it. So yeah, she's causing trouble. "I bluffed Ramon with borrowed power."

She paused, narrowing her eyes. "I told her if she messed with me, I'd make Kieran's life hell in prison. I doubt Ellen will try anything now."

Ellen might have a sharp tongue, but like most moms, she deeply cared about her son.

Threatening Ellen directly might not work, but bringing Kieran into it would make her think twice.

Maximilian turned back, a slight smirk forming when he heard Katniss used his power to scare someone, "Since you mentioned it, I'll have Emilio make it official to back you up. Next time she sees you, she'll believe it."

Katniss's eyes lit up, thinking Maximilian had a point, and she nodded excitedly. "Really? It won't be too much trouble for you, right? And please give Kieran a good beating. Saskia's still in the hospital; he shouldn't have it easy in prison." The Scott family hadn't suffered enough, so she wasn't about to go easy on them.

Maximilian leaned back against the leather seat, casually flipping through some documents, a hint of danger in his eyes.

"Don't worry, it's no trouble at all," Maximilian replied coolly.

Handling someone in prison was a walk in the park.

Soon, Conrad returned, and the car started moving.
