?Chapter 312:
Lise put on an innocent expression, leaning back against the headboard and coughing softly, acting as though she were feeling weak.
“You always suspect me with these malicious ideas. I didn’t say anything to anyone. The Bernards found out about you on their own. I also heard about what Rond did. I’m just as surprised as you are.”
Lise genuinely felt baffled and wished she could peer into Rond’s mind to see if he had any sense at all.
Katelyn had beaten him up, sending him to the hospital, yet he still dered his love for her and continued to pursue her so openly.
What kind of logic was that? Did shamelessness make him fearless? It was simply absurd!
This wasn’t the oue Lise had been hoping for.
Katelyn narrowed her gaze, studying Lise’s face carefully. From the way Lise looked, it seemed she wasn’t lying this time.
Psychology offered many tips on how to tell if someone was being truthful or deceptive. Small, subconscious actions often revealed a person’s true thoughts.
“You had iting this time,” Katelyn said, turning her gaze away from Lise, but her words sent Lise into a fit of rage.
“I had iting?” Lise thought.
She had suffered bruises all over, and instead of apologizing, Katelyn mocked her.
Lise’s face contorted with anger. Neil, standing nearby, looked irritated as well.
He stared at Katelyn and asked, “Did you n this whole thing? Were you trying to use the Bernard family to cause Lise to lose the baby?”
gα?ησν????s?cо??, your storytelling home
The doctor had mentioned that Lise could have miscarried.
That’s why Neil suspected that Katelyn had orchestrated everything.
Katelyn shot him a sharp look and stated tly, “Are you paranoid? Do you really think I have some magical ability to predict that the Bernard family would strike so quickly?”
Seething with anger, Neil asked back, “Then how do you exin what happened?”
“I’ve already given an exnation. She had iting. I haven’t even settled the real score with her yet. She was just unlucky this time.”
Katelyn spread her hands, maintaining an innocent expression. She had gotten the answers she needed, and as she turned to leave, Neil stepped in front of her.
His once gentle, handsome face now disyed only fatigue and anger. He had been strugglingtely, losing weight, and the dark circles under his eyes were evident. She couldn’t see any trace of the qualities that had once captivated her. She still couldn’t understand why she had been so blindly, madly in love with him back then.
“If you don’t apologize, you’re not leaving,” Neil growled, standing in her way.
Katelyn looked back at him with a steady gaze. “Are you looking for a fight? Still haven’t learned your lesson from that shoulder throw?”
Neil’s face flushed with anger at her remark. He had worked out for years and believed Katelyn couldn’t match his strength or physique. But when she had thrown him over her shoulder in the corridor, he had struggled to get back up. He considered that moment one of the most humiliating things that had ever happened to him.
“Do you think I won’t hit you? I usually don’t hit women, but you’ve been pushing my buttons for too long, Katelyn.” He reached out suddenly, trying to grab her wrist and force her to kneel.
At that moment, the door swung open with a loud kick. Vincent appeared, his expression dark and threatening. “Mr. Wheeler, nning to assault a woman? Do you think you can handle the bacsh when the public finds out?”
Katelyn quickly dodged Neil’s grasp, taking advantage of the distraction. If Neil seriously tried to fight her, she wasn’t sure she could win. She had simply been lucky before and caught him off guard with that shoulder throw. But when faced with brute strength, fancy moves wouldn’t matter much.
Neil’s voice dripped with mockery as he sneered, “Mr. Adams, why are you so obsessed with a woman who has already been with me? If you want, I can send every woman I’ve ever slept with straight to your bed.”
