Chapter 160

After a while, someone from the kitchen reported that the meal was ready. Carlton asked everyone to move to the dining room to start eating.

"Maximilian, I'm going to the restroom."

Maximilian nodded, "Alright, take your time."

Seeing Katniss leave, a flash of malice crossed Clara's eyes. She turned and smiled sweetly at Desmond, "Desmond, I'm going to the restroom to touch up my makeup." Ever since Maximilian had said those things about Emily, Desmond's face had been grim.

Desmond only responded casually to Clara's words and didn't pay her much attention.

Taking advantage of no one noticing, Clara got up and headed to the restroom. Katniss had just finished when she saw Clara standing behind the restroom door.

Clara's face was twisted with anger. Her gaze swept over the bracelet on Katniss's hand, revealing a deep sense of reluctance. She lowered her voice, "Katniss, do you even know your place?"

"How dare you deliberately steal my spotlight and embarrass me."

"In a prestigious family like the Boleyns, without support from your own family, how long do you think you can stay proud?"

"And what about you?" Katniss raised a bright smile and retorted, "Are you about to die of anger?"

"Anger?" Clara smoothed her hair and looked down at Katniss, "You're not worth my anger."

"Whether in the Manners family or the Boleyn family, you will always be my defeated opponent."

"Katniss, I advise you to recognize your place early. Don't think that just because you have Maximilian to rely on, everything will be fine."

"The day you get kicked out, I will make sure you wish you were dead."

Katniss listened quietly until she finished, then suddenly smirked and said to someone behind Clara, "Grandpa, did you hear all that?"

Clara's face turned pale. She quickly turned around to explain, "Grandpa, you misunderstood, Katniss and I were just..."

Behind her, there was no one.

Clara's heart went on a rollercoaster ride. Just as she was about to feel relieved, she realized she had been tricked by Katniss and became furious.

She turned back, her fingers curled, as if all her hatred for Katniss had gathered in her hand, ready to scratch her face.

Katniss's pupils narrowed slightly.
