After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 194

Chapter 194

After a while, Desmond lowered his head and stiffly said, "I'm sorry."

"Who are you apologizing to?" Katniss feigned confusion, frowning.

Desmond twisted his face, remained silent for a moment, and glared fiercely at the audacious Katniss, as if he had never seen this side of her before.

Although Emilio had a youthful and harmless appearance, his skills were in stark contrast; he could act without blinking an eye.

During Desmond's silence, Emilio moved his wrist, suddenly twisting Desmond's wrist. Instantly, Desmond's wrist turned a frightening shade of blue, as if it could snap at any moment.

"Katniss, I'm sorry, I was wrong! I was confused and talking nonsense, please don't take it to heart." Desmond's face turned pale as he quickly begged for mercy.

Katniss glanced at Desmond's face indifferently and only after a few seconds did she let out a light laugh, "I'll forgive you this time. Next time, remember to be more polite when you see me."

Only then did Maximilian signal Emilio to let go. His dark eyes coldly stared at Desmond, and he said with a thin-lipped smile, "If there's a next time, don't expect to keep that hand."

Desmond's face looked grim as he rubbed his swollen wrist, his eyes filled with both resentment and fear. Finally, he forced out a few words through gritted teeth, "Yes, I won't dare again."

Just then, Gabriel's assistant ran over in a panic, "Mr. Desmond Boleyn, Mr. Gabriel Boleyn wants to see you in his office. He said he has something to discuss with you."

Accidentally catching a glimpse of Maximilian's icy expression, Gabriel's assistant's heart almost jumped out of his chest, terrified of saying the wrong word.

Fortunately, Gabriel had sharp eyes and saw the conflict between Desmond and Maximilian, so he quickly called his assistant over. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened if he had been a moment later.

Desmond wasn't stupid; he naturally understood Gabriel's intention.

"Maximilian, I'll be going now."

Maximilian nodded slightly, "Go ahead."
