Chapter 226

He had a hint of pride in his eyes.

Listening to these words, Katniss's rationality slowly returned.

She had been really foolish just now.

How could Maximilian be that kind of person?

Even if, in the worst-case scenario, Maximilian was that kind of person, given their alliance, he wouldn't be so blatant about it.

She was a bit worried that Maximilian might have been drugged.

In the past, even when Maximilian had trouble walking, there were still people who wanted to curry favor with him by sending their daughters to his bed.

Now that his leg was healed, there would only be more people wanting to climb into his bed.

In her previous life, with the development of the Manners family, she had seen such tactics and tricks too many times.

Not to mention someone of Maximilian's status, even Lucas, who later became successful and famous, had many women trying to climb into his bed.

Katniss calmed down and then sneered, "Desmond, do you think everyone is like you, an animal who can't control their desires?"

"Maximilian is nothing like you."

Desmond's face turned ugly, "Katniss, you've caught them in the act, and you're still deceiving yourself? Since when did you become so fond of self-deception? Is it that hard to admit your failure?"

She was going to find Hank to get the key.

Coincidentally, Jesse was also in Hank's room. Upon hearing the news, he sobered up halfway, and the two of them exchanged glances.

Jesse was very curious, "You said Maximilian locked you out, and there was a woman's voice inside?"
