As Katniss stepped out the door, she looked up at the dazzling sunlight, and gently exhaled a breath of stale air.The weight of her burdens seemed to lift with that single breath.

Then, she raised the corners of her mouth into a bright smile. She was finally going to completely leave this so-called "home" behind!

From now on, The world is her oyster, free and easy. Those people and past events were not worth wasting her emotions on anymore!

She would pursue her passions and dreams with the utmost love and enthusiasm.

For example...

Helping Maximilian stand up again! She could see him standing proudly in this beautiful world, conquering everything with his unique charisma, reaching the heights he deserved!

Conrad, although very sympathetic to Katniss for having such disgusting families, kindly reminded her, "Madam, if you don't leave now, you won't make it home in time for lunch."

Mira had made her proficient dishes today.

"Madam, it's time to go home. You have classes in the afternoon," Conrad couldn't help but remind her.

Katniss nodded. Conrad was right, she should hurry home for lunch. Just as she was about to get in the car, she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind her. Accompanied by Clara's always soft voice, "Katniss, wait a minute."

Katniss frowned and turned around in disgust.

Clara had already reached her, panting and with a blush on her delicate face, perhaps from running too hasty.

Katniss raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Clara, there are no Manners family members here. There's no need to pretend, is there?"

Clara glanced warily at Conrad behind her and attempted to maintain her composure, "In ten days, it's my engagement party with Desmond. The venue is set at the Starry Night Hotel. Remember to attend."

Katniss looked at her nonchalantly and said disdainfully, "Clara, are you insane? I'm not interested in theparty of you two scumbags. Perhaps you might consider inviting me to the funeral instead."

Clara's face turned ugly at these words, especially since she didn't see the jealousy and resentment she wanted on Katniss's face.

Could it be that Katniss really didn't like Desmond anymore?

Impossible. In the entire Luminous City, Desmond was the most outstanding and prestigious man.

Had Katniss not reappeared so suddenly, Clara wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble and almost lost her fiancé!
