?Chapter 272:


    Lise countered, “We’ve signed an agreement, and I’ll pay you the amount we agreed on. If you’re thinking about getting more, you’re dreaming!”


    She was starting to regret hiring these two fools to help her.


    Why was it so hard to findpetent people?


    A cruel look shed in the eyes of the middle-aged man. He rolled up his sleeves and smirked. “Miss Bailey, we’re trying to settle this the easy way. You’d better take the opportunity and think carefully.”


    Lise’s grip tightened around the strap of her bag, wishing she could stab these two idiots right then and there.


    But when she remembered her n, she forced herself to stay calm.


    “I’ll send the money to your ountter. But if you mess up again, you’ll pay for it, and it won’t be pretty.”


    With that, she turned on her heel, got into her car, and drove away.


    As she left, the old woman spat on the ground.


    “Stupid bitch! She’ll find out what we’re capable of once we have the money.”


    “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ve already got a n for dealing with her,” the man said with a sneer.


    To him, Lise was merely another sheltered woman who had grown up in wealth and privilege. He thought that once her reputation was destroyed and he had some leverage over her, they would have free rein to do whatever they wanted. When the DNA test results were finally in, he believed they would also be able to tie Katelyn to their scheme.


    If that happened, they could really live a life without worry or hardship.

    While they were busy fantasizing about their future gains, they failed to notice that Katelyn and Vincent were watching them from the shadows.


    Every word they spoke and every move they made had been recorded by Katelyn on her phone. A cold glint flickered in Katelyn’s eyes.


    Lise’s schemes were bing more and more daring. She was even prepared to use this situation to hurt Katelyn.


    To ensure they wouldn’t be seen, Katelyn and Vincent stayed hidden until the old woman and the man left the area.


    Vincent’s expression grew darker, his eyes deep and unreadable. “Lise certainly knows how to plot and manipte. But it seems like she always picks the dumbest partners,” he remarked.


    “Lucky for us they’re fools. Otherwise, this wouldn’t be nearly as entertaining,” Katelyn replied coolly as she began making copies of the video clip they had just captured. She knew this footage would serve as more ammunition against Lise when the time came to fight back.


    Vincent’s lips curled into a sly smile. “Come on. Let’s get out of here.”


    “Alright,” Katelyn agreed.


    Thereafter, Vincent got behind the wheel and drove her back to her ce.


    It had been a long day, and after a quick shower, she copsed onto her bed, eager for sleep. But just as she closed her eyes, her phone began to ring.


    The call came from an unknown number. Katelyn hesitated for a moment before swiping to answer.


    A woman’s voice greeted her from the other end. “Hello, is this Miss Katelyn Bailey?”


    Frowning in confusion, Katelyn asked, “Who is this?”


    “I’m calling from a hotel,” the woman exined. “There’s a man and an elderly woman here who im to be your father and grandmother. They’re causing a scene and trying to check in, but they don’t have money for the deposit. They’ve asked us to contact you.”


    Katelyn’s fists tightened as irritation surged through her. Those two troublemakers were at it again. She was certain Lise had put them up to this.


    “I don’t know them. If they don’t have the money, then just kick them out,” she replied sharply.


    The woman on the other end sounded uncertain. ncing over at themotion, she could see the old woman rolling on the floor, making quite a scene.


    “Miss Bailey, could you pleasee and handle this situation yourself? The olddy keeps insisting she has all sorts of health problems, and our security staff doesn’t feelfortable taking action.”


    Even through the phone, Katelyn could hear the old woman shouting and cursing.<fn4798> Get full chapters from find?novel</fn4798>


    “Go ahead, try to touch me! Do you know who my granddaughter is? She’s Iris, the most famous designer around!” The shouting was sharp and grating, cutting through the air.


    Katelyn’s eyes turned as cold as ice.


    “Fine, I’ll be there shortly.”


    After all, they were causing trouble in her name. The hotel wasn’t at fault here.


    She hurried to the hotel as quickly as possible. Stepping out of the car, she immediately saw the old woman and her son sprawled out on the floor, creating a scene.


    “Touch me if you dare! Do you think you can push me around just because I’m old? My granddaughter has plenty of money. Of course, she can cover our stay!”


    The hotel staff and security guards stood around them, exchanging uncertain nces. None of them seemed willing to make a move, too worried about the possible consequences.


    “If they don’t have the money to pay, call the police,” Katelyn instructed calmly.
