After her rebirth

It was a woman's figure.

It seemed somewhat familiar.

If an acquaintance had heard his conversation with Simon just now, it would cause a huge uproar.

Dylan's face darkened, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly chased after her.

Lucky enough.

The figure seemed to be bending down to pick something up. He grabbed the back of her collar, covered her mouth, and dragged her back to the safety passage they had just been in.

The woman struggled, but not with much strength, and with her mouth covered, she couldn't make a sound.

The worst part was that this place was very secluded.

At this moment, Simon also rushed over, his face looking very grim, "Dylan, what's going on?"

"We were eavesdropped on." Dylan's words were harsh as he threw the person against the wall, "It's her!"

Simon immediately became tense upon hearing this. He seemed to have said everything just now. If this person leaked it, it would be disastrous.

Dylan, however, calmed down a bit, "Don't worry, even if she heard it, it won't matter. Without evidence, we can't be convicted."

That was true.

"Who are you?" Simon gritted his teeth, already annoyed, and now this added trouble was making things worse.

The woman tidied her hair and then turned around.

"Katniss!" Simon shouted, looking like he was about to tear her apart, "What are you doing here?"

Katniss rolled her eyes at him, completely uninterested in dealing with this idiot.

Dylan squinted his eyes. He had specifically chosen such a secluded place, yet Katniss still appeared.

He didn't believe it was a coincidence.

Katniss didn't waste words with them, sneering, "Dylan, what are you trying to do? Your actions just now, I can sue you for that."noveldrama

Simon's fists clenched tightly, his teeth bared as he grabbed Katniss's arm, "Sue? You little brat, don't push your luck. If you dare to spill what happened today, I'll make sure you regret it."

Katniss shook off Simon's arm, "What are you talking about? I don't know what you're saying."

"Stop playing dumb," Simon shouted, "If you didn't hear our secret, why were you running?"

Katniss looked down on this idiot with disdain.

With his words, even if someone hadn't heard anything, they'd be curious now.

Katniss looked innocent, "I remembered I forgot something and came back for it. I just got lost. I don't know why you two are so agitated. Did you do something shady? If so, I advise you to stop, or you'll face consequences."

"Sharp-tongued!" Simon's cold eyes stared at Katniss, "You definitely heard us."

Katniss stepped closer to Simon, "What exactly is it that makes you two so difficult? Let me tell you, Maximilian is still waiting for me. If I don't return soon, he and his bodyguards will come looking for me. Then, don't blame me for being heartless."

With that, Katniss tried to push the door open.

But her wrist was grabbed by Dylan, who said gently, "Katniss, wait a moment."

With both of them blocking her, Katniss couldn't leave.

Katniss's face darkened, "Dylan, what do you mean?"

"Katniss, give me the recorder." Dylan sighed, extending his other hand. "What recorder?" Simon, slow to catch on, then shouted, "She recorded us?"

A glint flashed in Dylan's eyes as he slowly smiled. Despite his gentle demeanor, it sent chills down Katniss's spine.

"If I'm not mistaken, Katniss, what you picked up just now was a recorder, right?" Katniss lowered her eyes, not speaking.

Based on information from her past life, she calculated that someone as foolish as Simon would be restless upon learning that Hestia was rescued.

If he didn't come to see for himself, Simon wouldn't be at ease.

So, she came specifically to find an opportunity.

She originally wanted to find a chance to trick him, but hadn't found one until he and

Dylan came to this secluded hallway. She knew her chance had come.

To get close enough to record clearly, she accidentally made a noise by touching the door frame and was discovered.

In her nervous escape, the recorder fell out, and she was caught by Dylan while picking

it up.

Seeing Katniss's silence, Simon was sure she had admitted it and grabbed Dylan's hand, "Dylan, search her."

Hearing this, Katniss's eyes darkened, and she began to struggle.

Dylan's eyelids formed deep creases as he stared at Katniss, but his face remained calm and gentle.

"Dylan, what are you waiting for?" Simon was anxious, as this concerned his future.

If the recorder was exposed, his future would be ruined.

Dylan squinted his eyes, about to speak when Katniss said, "I can hand over the recorder, but you have to let me go."

Simon still held Katniss tightly, "You're so clever, who would believe you?"

Just a heads up: is the only place to read the complete version of this book for free. Don't miss out on the next chapter-visit us now and continue your journey!

Katniss sneered, her tone mocking, "What, you two big men are afraid I'll escape? If so, that's pathetic."

"Who are you calling pathetic?" Simon was indignant.

Dylan looked at the slightly disheveled Katniss and said, "Let her go."

He didn't search her because, in the worst-case scenario, even if this was exposed, his

life wouldn't be fatally affected.

But if he touched Katniss, and she exaggerated the story to Maximilian, his life would be miserable.

Although he had dragged Katniss earlier, it was in a moment of urgency, and he could apologize later.

If he searched her, even though he was Katniss's second brother, she didn't acknowledge him. If she couldn't get over it, it could cause bigger problems later.

Seeing Dylan's words, Simon reluctantly let go.

Katniss rubbed her arm, then took out the recorder from her pocket, waving it in front

of them, "The recorder, right? You can have it, but I want to know why."

Simon was so angry his veins bulged, "Of course, because..."

"Katniss, stop beating around the bush," Dylan's eyes twinkled as he smiled gently,

"Actually, you didn't record anything, did you?"

Katniss shrugged, "If I say no, you won't believe me."

"You really didn't record anything?" Simon visibly relaxed.

"Guess," Katniss said uncooperatively.

Dylan smiled, took the recorder, and said, "You can go now."

Katniss didn't linger, pushing the door open and leaving.

"Wait!" Dylan seemed to remember something and chased after her.
