Chapter 227
While speaking, Clara quickly glanced at the bathroom.
Maximilian was still in there taking a shower, probably unable to hear their conversation.
Katniss gave a contemptuous smile, her eyes coldly sweeping over Fox behind her, "So, taking off your clothes to seduce a man to test his self-control, is this Fox's special method? Someday my husband and I will definitely visit your home and ask Mr. Harrison, is this what the Harrison family teaches?"
Fox's hand holding her clothes suddenly stiffened.
Husband?
Katniss and Maximilian are married?
Although she liked challenging men, it didn't mean married men were included!
Clara's eyes reddened, "Katniss, what are you talking about? How can you slander people like that? If Fox really had something with Maximilian, her family definitely wouldn't let it go. I'm saying this for your own good, so I'm advising you now, you'd better give up the position of Mrs. Maximilian."
The Harrison family mainly deals in the film and television business, and they are doing very well now.
In terms of strength, they are actually more powerful than the Manners family. Katniss can't compare to Fox, especially now that Katniss has been adopted by the Wesley family, which makes her even more ordinary.
So, as long as Maximilian isn't stupid, he knows the benefits of a strong alliance.
He was blinded before, but now that Maximilian is healthy, with such a good choice, she thinks Maximilian would divorce Katniss and marry Fox.
And as the daughter of the Harrison family, if she was slept with by a man, the Harrison family definitely wouldn't let it go.noveldrama
The blame wouldn't be on Maximilian, but on Katniss, who has no background.
Thinking of this, Clara felt even more smug, but she put on a sympathetic look, "Katniss, don't worry. Fox is also my friend, I'll persuade her, and we can all part on good terms. Money won't be an issue."
Katniss raised an eyebrow, "You're protecting Fox so much and came so timely, could it be that the idea of seducing a man by taking off clothes was yours? After all, you have done such things before."
Saying this, Katniss glanced meaningfully at Desmond.
Back then, she and Desmond had an engagement, so she started treating Desmond as
the man she would marry, clinging to him shamelessly.
Everyone knew she liked Desmond, liked him to death.
But her nominal sister had secretly hooked up with Desmond, while she foolishly took countless bullets for Clara.
Desmond's fingers tightened. He had always been proud, especially hating Katniss because of the engagement. Why should Katniss come back and the person fulfilling the engagement change from Clara to Katniss?
"Katniss, watch your words. I never had feelings for you, I've always liked Clara, it's you who clung to me." Desmond angrily scolded.
"So Fox climbed into bed because she has feelings for Maximilian?" Katniss raised an eyebrow and mocked, "You and Clara have feelings, why didn't you break off the engagement when you got engaged? How could you let Clara be the third party for so many years? The engagement was set by your family, and now you say such things, it's really disgusting!"

Clara's eyes filled with tears, looking pitiful, "You're getting more and more outrageous. Before the engagement, Desmond and I were innocent, don't slander us!"
"Oh? Holding Desmond's arm every day, you're innocent? Getting sick in the middle of the night and still calling Desmond, being intimate at night, that's really innocent." Katniss sneered, clapping her hands for their innocence.
Then, Katniss turned to the stunned Fox, "Fox, did you learn these dirty tricks from Clara? Who becomes a third party and their friend doesn't stop them?"
Fox felt very aggrieved, she didn't even know Maximilian was married!
The term "third party" made Desmond furious, "Katniss, that's enough. Clara has always been good to you, you became unrecognizable because of your jealousy of her, and now you speak so viciously about her. Just like your mother said, do you have any conscience?"
"So, please control your fiancée." Katniss warned, "If you let her speak recklessly in front of me again, I don't mind teaching her a lesson. Also, I'm your sister-in-law, you don't even have the basic respect, it seems the lesson Maximilian gave you last time wasn't enough."
Mentioning Maximilian, Desmond was still a bit scared, but he remained defiant, looking at Katniss with disdain, "You're so self-righteous. Do you think after today's incident you can still stay in the Boleyn family? Better think about what to do next."
Katniss found these people really strange.
Maximilian hadn't said anything yet, but they all thought she would be abandoned immediately?
Moreover, she wasn't the one at fault.
"Right." With Desmond's support, Clara was confident, she pulled the freshly groomed Fox with a determined look, "No matter what, Fox deserves an explanation, it's not up to you."

Fox looked up and met Katniss's gaze, feeling a bit weak in the knees, she pulled Clara, "We should leave, I'll talk to my family about this."
"No one is leaving!" Katniss directly moved a chair from the room, placing it at the door.
She sat down, legs crossed, arms folded, blocking the doorway, "Since you all think Maximilian wronged her, let's wait for him to come out and confront him."
They had been arguing for over ten minutes, but Maximilian still hadn't come out. If he was just taking a shower, it wouldn't take this long.
Katniss had thought things wouldn't be so simple, and now it seemed she was right. "Katniss, you have no shame, but others do." Desmond scolded.
Katniss laughed angrily, looking at Desmond with disdain, "I'm not the one who wronged Maximilian, they are the suspicious ones."
She then turned to Jesse and Hank, "You two are witnesses, if Maximilian really did such a thing, I'm the victim. Maximilian's business is so big, I'll be happy to get a big sum of money."
Jesse straightened his head, winking at Katniss, "Alright, Katniss, don't worry, I'll guard this door, not even a fly will get out."
Katniss: ...
Desmond's gaze paused, frowning, "Jesse, you're meddling too much."
"I am meddling, so what?" Jesse raised an eyebrow, looking smug.
