After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 153

Ruby felt a sharp sting on her cheek. Before she could even scream, a slap landed hard on her face.

The slap was so strong it made a loud whooshing sound and snapped her head to the side.

Coming to her senses, she glared at Katniss with wide, angry eyes, clutching her face. "You dare hit me here?" Ruby clutched her swollen cheek, staring at Katniss in disbelief. "Do you think you're some untouchable princess that I wouldn't dare hit you?" Katniss shot her a disdainful look.

Katniss flexed her wrist, her gaze intense as it bore down on Ruby. "I always thought you were just Clara's sidekick, but it looks like you're a pretty loyal henchman after all."

Then, as if something amusing had crossed her mind, Katniss laughed mockingly. "Oh, no. I misspoke. You're more like a dumb and evil lackey!"

The word "lackey" seemed to hit a nerve for Ruby. She pointed at Katniss and shouted, "Clara and I are close friends!"

With a smirk and a look of pure contempt, Katniss eyed Ruby like she was an idiot. "Then why didn't you show up at your good friend's engagement party yesterday?" "Because I ate something bad and got diarrhea!"

"Diarrhea, huh? Someone usually so high and mighty, reduced to such a state?"

"What do you mean?! Katniss, what are you trying to say?" Ruby's anger grew, her brows furrowing tightly.

"You should use your brain more." Katniss left with a mocking piece of advice.

When Ruby had flaunted the invitation, Katniss knew Clara would never let someone like Ruby appear at her wedding.

Clara never considered Ruby a friend, just a convenient tool to use when needed. Giving Ruby the invitation was just a way to make her more loyal and to keep her in check.

Clara's usual style, using the least effort to win people's hearts.

After saying that, Katniss took out a tissue to wipe her hands, her tone calm but her words cold.

"Next time you come in front of me, don't blame me for being really rude to you."

Ruby, finally realizing what was happening, widened her eyes in shock.

It seemed like after she had dinner with Clara yesterday, her stomach started to feel uncomfortable.

By evening, she was almost exhausted from the diarrhea and had apologized to Clara with much regret.
