After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 133

"Katniss, you're out of control! Let your brother go right now, or I'll call the police!"

Elodie shouted, her face red with anger. She turned to the servant and yelled, "Call the police, now!"

She was incredulous. How could Katniss act so recklessly and think no one could stop her?

Katniss smiled slightly and glanced at Simon on the ground. "Sure, let's see who gets here faster, the police or

Simon's tolerance. I'm just worried Conrad might not be gentle. What if Simon's arm or leg gets broken?"

The next second, Conrad moved with a calm expression, applying just a bit of force, but it was enough to make

Simon's face twist in pain, causing him to scream again.

"Ah! Katniss, | won't let you get away with this."

The servants watching felt a pang of sympathy, and their gazes at Katniss were filled with fear.

This was her own brother, and she was so ruthless to him.

Elodie turned pale, her chest heaving with either anger or humiliation.

Elodie, feeling sorry for her younger son, compelled herself and turned to Clara. "Clara, for Simon's sake, can you

just apologize to Katniss? Didn't you want that famous designer's dress? I'll buy it for you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Clara's hand clenched involuntarily.

She had desired that dress fervently and had pleaded with Elodie to buy it, but Elodie

had refused, saying it was too expensive and extravagant.

Now, to save her son, she was willing to buy it without hesitation.

For a brainless Simon, she had to endure such humiliation?

She wasn't their own daughter, and the disparity in treatment was glaringly evident.

Clara couldn't help but look at Katniss, who was sitting there. She must be feeling very smug right now. Don't get

too happy!

In ten days, when she officially becDesmond's fiancée, she would make sure to repay Katniss for today's

humiliation!

"Clara, you and Simon are usually the closest. Hurry up." Elodie urged, her voice strained with desperation.

Clara suddenly reached out and took Elodie's arm, forcing a smile. "Mom, Simon has always been good to me.

It's just an apology. How could | feel humiliated? Even if Katniss askedto do something more excessive, |

would do it for Simon."

After speaking, Clara turned to Katniss, her eyes red, and said softly and with difficulty, "Katniss, I'm sorry. It was

my fault for speaking without verifying with you, causing Mom and Dad and the brothers to misunderstand you.

Please forgiveand let Simon go, okay?"

Katniss looked at Clara for a long time, her gaze inscrutable, before finally smiling. "Let him go."

Conrad released Simon and pushed him forward, then stood back behind Katniss, like a wolf poised to strike,

watching everyone warily.

It seemed that if anyone dared to make a move, Conrad would rush out and break their neck without hesitation.

Elodie quickly squatted down and hugged Simon, who was in too much pain to speak. "Simon, are you okay?

Does it hurt?"

Simon glared at Katniss, but when he saw Conrad behind her, he shrank back in fear and stammered, "Mom, it

hurts so much. Is my arm broken?"

Conrad spoke expressionlessly, "It's not broken. | know my strength."

Simon gritted his teeth, feeling frustrated. Not breaking it was considered knowing his strength?

Elodie was also frustrated and called for a servant to help, then called a doctor urgently.

Lucas frowned deeply, looking at the indifferent Katniss with a complex expression, his lips pressed into a thin

line.

"Katniss, you've really gone too far today."

Katniss remained untouched, her demeanor as cool and detached as ever. "I'm just giving an eye for an eye."

She was long past being affected by the Manners family's favoritism.

It seemed they only saw her faults, never their own relentless pressure.

Lucas's eyes turned cold, about to say something, but Nathan suddenly stood up, his hand covering his mouth as

he coughed violently, then hoarsely confronted Lucas. "Lucas, Katniss was just defending herself. If Simon hadn't

tried to act, Conrad wouldn't have caught him! Simon is a victim of his own action.."

Lucas's eyes turned icy. "Nathan!"

On the other side, Simon was furious. "Nathan! Are you out of your mind?" he shouted, his voice cracking with

disbelief.

Just days ago, Nathan not only bullied Clara into crying in order to help Katniss, but he also got sick himself.

Simon couldn't understand what had happened recently. Nathan seemed like a different person, always siding

with Katniss.

Elodie patted Simon comfortingly and looked at Nathan with a complex expression. "Nathan, do you know what

you're saying? Your kindness shouldn't overflow in this way!"

"You're not well. Someone, take Nathan upstairs." Elodie commanded, her voice mingled with both concern and

authority.

A servant cover and whispered, "Mr. Nathan Manners, let's go upstairs. Don't upset Mrs. Manners."

Nathan's cold eyes flashed with sarcasm.

"One day, you'll regret this!" he declared, his voice laced with a confirming prophecy. then he turned and was

helped upstairs by the servant.

Simon, enduring the pain, glared at Katniss. "Katniss, what kind of spell did you cast Nathan to mess up his

mind?"

"And what about you? Are you so good to Clara because she witched you? Or saved your lives?" Katniss blinked,

smiling at Simon. "And was Nathan wrong? Fortunately, someone in the Manners family is using their brain."

Elodie looked like she had been stepped on, her eyes blazing as she glared at Katniss, furious. "Katniss, ask

yourself, has the Manners family ever mistreated you all these years?"

"I provided for you, fed you, clothed you, sent you to school! And you repay us by bringing outsiders to bully

Clara, and even colluding with that sickly Hamilton boy to get Simon into the police station. Do you have a

heart? Are you trying to driveto my grave? Drive your brother to his grave? Drive our whole family to ruin

before you're satisfied?"

Lucas quickly supported Elodie, patting her back. "Mom, don't get angry. Don't let this ungrateful person make

you sick."

Katniss's smile vanished, and she kicked the chair she had been sitting on. With a loud bang, the chair fell to the

ground.

Everyone was startled.

"Your so-called kindness towas merely not lettingstarve. All these years, have you ever been in my

room? The bathrooms in the Manners Villa are bigger than my room. Every parent-teacher conference, you only

went to Clara's. Every birthday, you only remembered Clara's. Even the birthday gifts were only what Clara

liked."

The neglection and favoritism was endless, so much so that each tKatniss recounted them, she felt a deep

sense of folly.

Elodie and the Manners family had made it so conspicuous, why had she stubbornly clung to this impossible

familial bond?

Katniss pressed her lips together. "Ms. Smith, spareyour tales of hypocrisy. They makeill."

Then, Katniss closed her eyes briefly and turned to leave. At the door, she paused.

"That's it. | won't divorce. Pick a tto transferto Wesley's name. Then you won't have to worry about

having such a disgraceful daughter or sister anymore."
