After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 193

Yasmin!

The name made Katniss's heart skip a beat, her long eyelashes fluttering in panic, and her small hands instinctively clutching the hem of her clothes.

She remembered Cecilia saying that the Thorne family intended for Yasmin to marry Maximilian. If it weren't for her, by now, the two families should be discussing the marriage, right?

Katniss felt a strange sensation in her heart, as if fate would still intertwine their paths.

Katniss suddenly felt a bit scared, not of Yasmin's appearance, but of doubting the information she had received. Was Maximilian's cause of death really a suicide due to illness?

If not, then curing Maximilian's illness would have been useless?

Would Maximilian still die because of something else?

Thinking of this, Katniss's pupils contracted sharply, and her face turned a few shades paler.

"So, do you now realize you're not worthy of my brother?"

Desmond approached with a smug look, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

Katniss snapped back to reality, lifted her eyes, and looked directly at Desmond with clear eyes, smiling lightly as she spoke, "If I were to get paranoid every time a woman appeared, that would be a true sign of distrust and insult to Maximilian. In your eyes, is Maximilian a man who would cheat?"

Desmond's eyebrows furrowed deeply, instinctively wanting to retort.

Desmond's face darkened, and he emphasized, "You probably don't know Yasmin. She's the daughter of the Thorne family from Luminous City. If you look into what kind of family the Thorne family is, you'll see you can't compare to her. She's the most suitable person to be Maximilian's wife."

From his words and tone, it seemed Desmond admired Yasmin a lot.

Based on her understanding of Desmond, he rarely praised anyone, especially women.

Katniss had thought Desmond liked women like Clara, who appeared weak and helpless.

Yet, he was so generous in his praise for a career-oriented woman like Yasmin.
