After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 204

After returning to Golden Crest Estates, Maximilian found the first aid kit and treated her wounds.

Seeing the bruises on her shoulders and arms, his eyes grew colder.

Feeling the chill behind her, Katniss didn't dare to move or speak, knowing she had made a mistake this time.

Katniss lowered her head nervously, enduring the pain.

"I'll have Mira make you some nutritious soup," Maximilian said, tucking her in gently, his voice soft. "You've had a long day, get some rest."

Katniss nodded, obedient as a rabbit.

Maximilian gently closed the door and then turned to the study, where he took out his phone and called Emilio.

Since the Manners family didn't want to live peacefully, he was happy to oblige.

Meanwhile, lying in bed, Katniss couldn't sleep at all. The more she thought about it, the more awake she became.

She knew very well that her call to the police would cause a huge uproar in the Manners family.

She had once sent Simon to the police station for a few days, and they had cursed and threatened her, even resorting to physical violence.

She was curious to see how the Manners family would deal with her this time.

Yes, she was relying on Maximilian's power now.

Without such a strong backing, she wouldn't have dared to do this.

Dylan's talk about them being family and Maximilian's love not lasting long was all

nonsense.

Who cares about the future? She was happy to see that family suffer now.

The more she thought about it, the happier Katniss became.

Just then, a call from Juniper came in.
