Chapter 311 Gathering

"You're lying!" Brynn, visibly shaken, suddenly stepped forward and slapped Clara.

Clara didn't dodge, but the pain was intense. She instinctively covered her cheek. Her face stung, but Clara laughed.

"If Desmond finds out you hit me, do you know what will happen?" Clara said, dialing Desmond's number.

Brynn's panic was evident. She tried to snatch Clara's phone but accidentally knocked over the coffee on the table.

The coffee spilled onto both of them, and the cup shattered loudly.

Other patrons in the café turned to look. Clara took advantage of Brynn's distraction and hurriedly left.

Once outside, she redialed Desmond's number.

Desmond didn't answer. Clara thought for a moment and hailed a cab to head to the Boleyn family estate.

Across the street, in a restaurant, Jesse and Cecilia were having lunch by the window. Cecilia saw Clara rush out of the café, looking disheveled, and hurriedly get into a cab. She was puzzled.

Jesse tapped her head lightly. "What are you staring at? Focus on your food."

"I saw Clara. It looks like someone spilled coffee on her. She must have pissed

someone off," Cecilia said, ready to share the news with Katniss.

Jesse stopped her. "Katniss is off to Starhaven for training. Maximilian is probably with her now. Don't bother them."

Cecilia was surprised. "She's going to Starhaven already? So soon?"

"Yeah, the first round of selections is done. I knew the results early this morning."

Jesse was one of the top surgeons in Luminous City, known for his genius. He was also close to Brent, so he naturally got the news early.

"Why didn't you tell me? I need to say goodbye to Katniss," Cecilia said, heading out. Jesse sighed and followed her.

He thought to himself, he had tried to stop her, so if Maximilian got annoyed, it wasn't his fault.

They arrived at Golden Crest Estates.

Katniss was playing a puzzle game with Maximilian. She had bought it on a whim because it looked fun but had set it aside until now.
