Chapter 143

Katniss blinked her long lashes and stammered, "My teacher is Brent Jenkins. Brent and the Hamilton family go way back."

Cecilia had heard about this, so she believed it even more.

Katniss hung around a bit longer before heading out.

Still, Cecilia couldn't shake the thought and decided to let Yasmin know that her dad wanted her to play mistress.

Messing with the richest man's marriage and family was just asking for trouble.

Back at Golden Crest Estates, Katniss had dinner and then buried herself in her studies in her room.

Time flew by, and it was already late at night, but Maximilian hadn't come back yet. Katniss frowned and sent him a message: [Maximilian, aren't you back yet? This is a critical time; you can't overwork yourself. You need to rest well, or it will backfire.] Two minutes later, Maximilian replied: [I know my limits. You go to sleep first.] Katniss wanted to say more but decided against it.

That night, Katniss slept pretty well alone.

During breakfast, Katniss got a call from Wesley.

On the phone, Wesley sounded hesitant, so Katniss urged directly, "What's up, Dad? Just say it."

"Katniss, um, Oliver and Clara have invited us to her engagement party," Wesley said, sounding a bit awkward.

Hearing this, a mocking smile appeared on Katniss's lips.

Wesley and Oliver had been at odds for years, so this invitation must have been Clara's idea.

Clara's little schemes were really not worth mentioning.

Pressing her lips together, Katniss said, "Since she invited us, let's go."

It was about time to start preparing her "big gift."

After breakfast, Katniss made some preparations and handed an envelope to Conrad, asking him to deliver it.

Maximilian found out soon after but didn't know what was in the envelope.
