After her rebirth

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.noveldrama

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?"

Katniss glanced at him without responding and turned to go downstairs.

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?"

Katniss's expression didn't change, and she nodded, "Yes, to avoid breaking the door, I had to come ask the boss for the key."

Hank was stunned for a moment, then expressed his understanding, but he didn't have the key either, so he eagerly said, "I'll go find someone to get it."

Katniss found a place to sit and wait for him.

Jesse was shocked by her behavior, "Katniss, aren't you anxious?"

"Anxious about what?"

"Your husband and another woman... alone in a room, and you're not worried at all? What if something happens to your marriage..."

Before Katniss could say anything, Jesse seemed to think of something else.

"But it's okay, Katniss, there are plenty of men in the world. If Maximilian wrongs you,

I'll definitely help you find someone better than him. The world is full of young talents. Look at me, aren't I pretty good?"

Katniss's expression was indifferent, and she said with a forced smile, "Thank you for considering me."

"It's my duty. My arms are always open for you."

Katniss: ...

Hank came back, panting, with the key in hand, and waved, "Let's go, open the door." Katniss's eyes widened, "You're coming too?"

At this moment, Jesse also enthusiastically said, "I'm coming too. I want to see which woman is so bold as to mess with Maximilian."

So, with the help of Hank and Jesse, the door to the room was quickly opened.

The room was dimly lit, and everyone could vaguely see someone sitting on the bed. When the lights came on, they saw that the figure was Fox.

Fox was wearing Maximilian's shirt, the same companion Clara had brought.

She had long legs exposed, her hair draped over her shoulders, looking like something had happened.

At this moment, the sound of a shower could be heard from the bathroom, indicating that the figure inside was likely Maximilian.

Clothes were scattered on the floor, both men's and women's, intertwined, indicating that a fierce battle had taken place here.

Even though Katniss had mentally prepared herself before opening the door, seeing such a scene still shocked her.

She took a deep breath and mocked, "You dare to climb into a man's bed naked, but you're afraid to be seen? Why wear clothes?"

Katniss's eyebrows were tightly knit, her words cold, and her gaze sharp.

Fox bit her lip, her face burning, and then, in front of Katniss, slowly buttoned up the shirt to cover her body.

"I didn't undress for you to see."

The two men had a premonition that things were getting serious.

Jesse couldn't help but think: When Katniss is angry, she exudes the same coldness as Maximilian. No wonder they're a couple.

Before long, they heard Katniss's cold voice, "What, leaving already?"

Jesse and Hank looked over.

They saw Katniss raise her hand, and with a crisp sound, she slapped Fox four times.

Fox covered her face, looking at Katniss in disbelief, her eyes filled with anger, "Katniss, you bitch, how dare you hit me?"

Without saying a word, Katniss sneered, reached out, grabbed Fox's hair, and dragged her to another bathroom.

Yes, this was a luxury suite designed by Hank himself, with two bathrooms, one for showers and one for baths.

Katniss kicked Fox hard on the knees, making her kneel, and then pressed Fox's head into the toilet to drink water.

The whole action was smooth and efficient, without any extra movements, leaving Jesse and the others dumbfounded.

"You know how you got into this room, don't you? I'm being lenient by just hitting you." Katniss held her down, not letting her struggle free.

Fox struggled continuously but was still forced to drink toilet water several times by Katniss.

She felt the disinfectant water flowing through her mouth, throat, and stomach. "Katniss, what are you doing?" Clara, who had rushed over after calculating the time, pushed aside the onlookers Jesse and Hank, only to see such a scene.

She hurriedly stepped forward to pull Katniss away, looking at her in disbelief, "Are you crazy? Do you know who she is?"

Seeing that the punishment was almost over, Katniss let go.

Clara wanted to help Fox but found her disgusting with toilet water on her. After hesitating for a moment, she grabbed a towel from the side and threw it to her, gently comforting, "Fox, wipe yourself first, we'll talk after we clean up."

She glanced at the shirt Fox was wearing, a man's shirt.

Seeing Katniss's angry and embarrassed look, could it be that Fox succeeded?

Had she had sex with Maximilian?

She had thought Maximilian was hard to get, with rumors of his coldness, but Fox had managed it. So he wasn't that difficult after all.

Clara had a plan in mind and protected Fox behind her, angrily scolding Katniss, "Why are you acting like a shrew? Can you blame Fox for this? If there's any fault, it's the man's. If Maximilian didn't want it, could Fox have succeeded? Katniss, think clearly. If you want to blame someone, blame Maximilian for not being able to control himself."
