Chapter 158

On the side seats of the sofa, there were a few elderly people and several elegantly dressed women.

Judging by their appearance, they should be relatives from the Boleyn family's collateral branches.

Katniss hadn't seen them much before.

Katniss obediently followed Maximilian, walking in together.

As soon as the crowd saw them, they greeted them with smiles.

Katniss responded to each greeting, appearing poised and graceful.

Maximilian didn't say much, holding Katniss's hand, his expression cold, sitting next to Carlton with an air of superiority.

On Carlton's other side sat Gabriel and Emily.

Maximilian didn't even glance at them.

Gabriel's face turned slightly blue, glaring at Maximilian, about to lose his temper, when his arm was gently nudged.

Turning his head, he saw a gentle face, Emily's watery eyes signaling him not to get angry.

Gabriel patted her hand, his anger dissipating significantly.

Carlton looked at Katniss, seeing her round face and good complexion, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepening.

His voice was steady and affectionate, "Katniss, this is your home. Today, I want to formally introduce you to the Boleyn family members."

"Everyone here is family, don't be reserved. If you need anything, just let me know." "Grandpa, I won't be shy."

Katniss's small face blossomed with a bright smile, her eyes sparkling.

Suddenly, Maximilian's mocking voice sounded, cool and indifferent, "Grandpa, not everyone here is family."

His voice wasn't loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear clearly, and it was obvious who he was referring to.

The air in the living room froze, and all eyes fell on Emily.

Emily's face quickly turned pale, and she lowered her head slightly.

Gabriel's recently dissipated anger flared up again, "You..."

"Gabriel, Maximilian is right. It's okay, don't get angry in this setting."

Emily quickly grabbed Gabriel's arm, lowering her eyes, "I shouldn't have come. When

Desmond and his fiancée arrive, I'll give them the gift and leave."
