Katniss winked at Grant.

Grant stepped forward and handed Oliver the disassociation agreement. "Katniss won't take a penny from the Manners family. This is the agreement. Once you sign it, it will be effective."

Simon snatched it and look it up then handed it to Oliver.

Frowning, he felt a vague recognition of Grant, as though he had seen him somewhere before.

Oliver's face darkened as he read through the pages. By the end, his expression was so grim it could drip water, especially when he saw the clause stating: "Oliver and Elodie, in life and death, have nothing to do with Katniss. Katniss has no obligation to support them."

Elodie, who had been reading as well, turned livid with anger. "Katniss, are you cursing us? We will never fall so low as to need your concern!"

Katniss sneered, "Then sign it!"

Oliver stared at Katniss and suddenly said, "Although our familial bond has been parted, I still want to give you one last piece of advice. Since you're married now, no matter the reason, live your life well and don't entangle yourself with Maximilian again."

"There's news that Maximilian is already married, and his spouse is a student of Brent. Although her identity is unknown, anyone who can marry Maximilian and is a student of Brent must be a high-society lady. If people find out you've been entangled with Maximilian, it won't sound good." he added, his voice thick.

Katniss's eyes gradually cleared as she quietly looked at the self-righteous Oliver.

If they had cared about her even a little, they would know that she was Brent's student.

Katniss smiled brightly, "You don't need to worry about my affairs."

After Oliver's words, Simon finally remembered that this lawyer was Grant, the one who had sent him into jail.

Maximilian's man!

So, Katniss was married but still shamelessly messing around with Maximilian! How shameless!

"Dad, stop wasting words with her. Sign it. Having any relationship with someone like her is unfortunate," Simon urged.

Oliver, looking displeased, said no more and signed the document with a flourish. Elodie also followed procedure, clearly writing her name below Oliver's.
