After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 148

Katniss shoved Ella aside, ignoring Elodie's anger, and looked at Ella with a voice as cold as ice, "Are you really my legal mother and want me to acknowledge you?

Seriously?"

Ella rubbed her hand, too hurt to speak for a moment, but her mind was clear.

When Katniss was young, Ella either beat or scolded her, treating her like unpaid labor, just giving her enough food to keep her from starving.

Now that Katniss was noble, and not even her biological daughter, it was already gracious of her not to seek revenge. How could she possibly consider taking her back?

Clara was her biological daughter, someone she could never give up.

Moreover, the Manners family clearly only cared about Clara. She had to cling to Clara tightly!

Having figured it out, Ella straightened her back and sneered at the Manners family, "You almost fooled me! Katniss isn't my biological daughter, I won't look for her! Don't think you can trick me."

"If you don't bring Clara here now, I'll make sure everyone in Luminous City knows that you're keeping my daughter and bullying a country woman like me."

Katniss wiped her hands, looked at the scene in front of her, and smiled.

Simon, his chest heaving with anger, clenched his fist and aimed it at Katniss's face.

At that moment, Conrad rushed out from some corner, quickly and fiercely grabbing Simon's arm and throwing him over his shoulder.

He swiftly twisted Simon's arm behind his back.

The simultaneous snap of bones and Simon's harrowing screams filled the air.

Everyone except Katniss, including the Manners family and Ella, was shocked by the sudden turn of events.

Elodie shrieked and tried to rush over, but the next moment, Lucas restrained her and whispered, "Mom, she's with Maximilian now."

The scene replayed in Simon's mind. He was in so much pain he almost fainted, a sudden hatred rising in his heart, along with a tinge of regret. He should have chosen a place without onlookers.
