Chapter 161

Clara was helped up by Desmond, went to the mirror to touch up her makeup, and by the time she returned to the dining room, the banquet had already started.

Gabriel glanced at them disapprovingly as they arrived late.

Emily, on the other hand, smiled warmly and waved them over to sit beside her.

As Clara sat down, she noticed Katniss sitting in the seat closest to the head of the

table, with the distinguished Maximilian beside her.

The next second, Katniss glanced at her and then indifferently looked away.

In that moment, Clara felt like a clown in Katniss's eyes!

Clara gritted her teeth secretly, trying hard to maintain a perfect facade.

Throughout the banquet, Katniss ate heartily, and Maximilian was almost filling her small plate.

Carlton watched with a gratified smile.

Katniss was gentle and well-mannered, skilled in medicine, able to take care of Maximilian, and diligent in her studies. She was truly a rare find, the perfect wife.

After the meal, Katniss looked at the relatives of the Boleyn family, who had always been sarcastic and indifferent to her, with calm eyes.

These people used to look down on her, not even sparing her a glance.

Even if they did look at her, their eyes were as if she was a shameless country bumpkin clinging to Desmond.

Now, they were acting as if they were one big happy family.

People, when you are in power, everyone around you is nice.

"Katniss, this necklace seems to be a new product that hasn't been released yet. It must be worth a lot of money," a relative from the Boleyn family asked, eyes full of envy.

Katniss lowered her head, touched the necklace, and smiled, "Yes, it's worth a lot. But Maximilian said he would earn money for me and our future baby, so I shouldn't worry about it."

Hearing this, the noblewomen smiled awkwardly.
