After her rebirth by Cici

Katniss's mouth twitched, her mind almost unable to process the situation. She had lived two lifetimes and had never encountered something so incendiary.

It was utterly ridiculous.

Katniss blinked, "Are you crazy?"

"You don't believe me? It's true. A few days ago, the night you saw me at the bar, Clara humiliated me. She had people strip me on the street and tried to have me violated. In the end, it was your father who saved me."

That night?

Katniss pressed her lips together. She knew Clara was ruthless, but she hadn't imagined she would be so vicious.

Desmond was also there that night. Wasn't Clara afraid that Desmond would discover and ruin her chances of marrying into the Boleyn family?

Laura's face, pale and drawn, betrayed her turmoil as she continued, "I know Clara has bullied you for many years and even took your place. You must hate her more than I do!"

Laura extended her hand, her smile pleated with anticipation, her face contorted as she issued an invitation, "Let's drag Clara into hell together! Let's make her life a living hell!"

Looking calmly at the frenzied Laura, Katniss saw a reflection of her past self.

Possessed by obsession, treading a path of no return, and ultimately meeting a tragedy.

Katniss sighed nonchalantly, "Sorry, I'm not interested."

With that, she turned to leave.

Laura stood up in a panic, "How can that be! Don't you hate Clara?"

Her voice was almost a scream, her eyes bloodshot, desperate for an answer.

The commotion drew strange looks from a few classmates nearby.

Katniss rubbed her forehead, stood up straight, and looked directly into Laura's hate- filled eyes, "The Manners family isn't worth my emotions, and I refuse to squander my precious time on revenge."

'Life is short. I want to live happily and cherish those who truly matter. That's the most powerful revenge against my enemies! And it's the best way to be true to myself. To me, there are many things more important than revenge.'

In her past life, she was blinded, spending decades in a futile effort to please the Manners family.
