After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 155

Chapter 155

Clara's voice was shaky, "Please, don't tell Maximilian or Grandpa. Katniss is finally catching a break."

Desmond sneered, "That's not easy for someone as reckless as her!"

"Desmond, you..." Clara's voice wavered.

"Clara, I'll take care of it. Just hang tight, and I'll pick you up from school in a few days when things settle down," Desmond reassured her firmly.

"Desmond, you're the best. I really like you," Clara said with a soft smile.

"You're my fiancée and the future mistress of the Boleyn family. Should I be good to you or to that scheming Katniss...?" Desmond trailed off, frowning deeply. "Let's not talk about her. I'm busy."

After hanging up, he sat in his chair for a bit, then decisively went to find Maximilian.

Maximilian glanced at the photos Desmond handed him, a barely-there smile on his lips.

These photos were Desmond's proof of Katniss flirting with other guys.

"Did you have someone take these?" Maximilian's voice was eerily calm but carried a chilling authority.

Desmond instinctively clenched his hand, feeling the air around him thin, and his heart found its answer.

Desmond quickly said, "Maximilian, you misunderstand. These were taken by someone at school, and I intercepted them."

"If Katniss is seen flirting with them and word gets to the board members, it will cause quite a stir. I didn't know how to handle it, so I came to ask you."

"If you have the time to worry about this, maybe you should use that time to study harder, so as not to invite our father's wrath," Maximilian retorted, his eyes narrowing.

Desmond's heart faltered, his eyes clouding with dread.

Before coming, he had considered this possibility, but he was desperate to know Maximilian's true attitude towards Katniss.

The result was the one he least wanted to see.

Grinding his teeth silently, Desmond kept his rage concealed, though internally, he seethed with rancor.
