Rebirth Into My Second Chance

Chapter 232

"I need you to get close to Richard."

Kate's eyes widened with fear. "Are you trying to get me killed? Richard would tear me apart if he saw me."

"Just tell him you've been tortured by me every day, that you can get close to me, that you can save me from this cage, and he'll use you, even value you! Then you can take the chance to find out who else in Crestview Metropolis is on their radar." As soon as I finished speaking, Helen knocked and entered, "Ms. Claire, I've brought the ice."

I was slightly taller than Kate and casually grabbed the collar of her blouse, pulling her close and said, "Play along. Your involvement in my kidnapping, consider it erased."

She frowned slightly as I pulled her towards the ice. "Claire Floyd, you're really making me eat ice! The Goodwins won't let this slide."

"Max won't let the Goodwins touch me." I smirked at Helen with the ice in hand, "I've changed my mind, she's a sore sight. Throw her out."

As I pushed Kate towards Helen and turned away, I didn't look back.

"Helen, take her to Richard. He should hate her, given she's hurt me time and again."

Helen was stunned, "Ms. Claire, isn't this a bit too harsh?"

"Then I'll send you instead. You're a Hilton, Richard should hate you even more." I made it clear to Helen that she was a Hilton on purpose.

Kate shot me a determined look as they pulled her away.
