?Chapter 368:


    Elora shot Katelyn a fierce re, her intent clear: she was determined to make both Selina and Katelyn pay for their actions. Elora’s inability to mask her emotions was evident, and her facial expressions betrayed her thoughts, leaving Katelyn bewildered.


    Katelyn had mingled with foreign socialites and even real princesses, individuals who disyed effortless grace under pressure. Their dignified demeanor was second nature, always maintainingposure and poise, even in challenging situations.


    Elora, however, seemed out of ce among them. Without her title, Katelyn would find it hard to believe that such an impulsive and reckless individual could be a potential leader of a noble lineage. Didn’t Elora’s family worry that her behavior might one day jeopardize their vast holdings?


    It wasn’t that Katelyn underestimated Elora. From the moment Elora unted her wealth at their first meeting to today’s confrontation with Selina, everything she did seemed to highlight herck of ss. Even though Selina exposed Elora’s true limitations, Elora’s attitude remained confidently arrogant.


    Katelyn couldn’t understand where Elora’s confidence stemmed from.


    Selina reclined on the couch, observing Elora’s departure with growing disdain. “She’s just an entitled child who doesn’t know her ce,” she remarked. Elora, who was after Selina’s help, had the audacity to negotiate with such arrogance.


    If Selina had treated Elora with respect, she wouldn’t have been true to herself, nor would she have lived up to her reputation as the “She-Devil.”


    Lise, visibly stunned by how the negotiations unfolded, once again directed her anger at Katelyn. She fixed Katelyn with a sharp look, gripping her purse tightly.


    “Just you wait. With Princess Elora against you, your days of peace are over, Katelyn.”

    Katelyn responded quickly, striking where it would hurt Lise the most. “Perhaps you should be more concerned about yourself. How does it feel to be merely ackey? Does Neil know you’re groveling to someone else while you’re overseas?”


    As Katelyn spoke, she suddenly understood why Lise was so desperate and cautious in her dealings with Elora. It all came down to Elora’s influential background and the vast resources she controlled.


    Perhaps Lise was seeking opportunities abroad because her reputation had soured at home. But where did Neil fit into all of this?


    Katelyn’s words clearly hit a nerve, and Lise’s face twisted with anger. “You bitch! You’ll regret this! This isn’t over!” she snapped, clutching her purse tightly before rushing off to catch up with Elora.


    Katelyn watched them leave without a flicker of emotion, her mind still processing the situation.


    Vincent, once again, saw through her thoughts. His voice was cold as he spoke, “Elora is just one among many heirs and heiresses. Her family, like the Adams, trains sessors with a ruthless management style—though theirs is much more lenient.”


    “Why, then, did they choose Elora?” Katelyn wondered aloud. If the family operated by a “survival of the fittest” principle, Elora wouldn’t have stood a chance.


    Vincent had fought his way to his current status, outshining countless contenders. In his family, someone like Elora would have been dismissed early in the process.<fne5c1> Th?s chapter is updated by Find?Novel</fne5c1>


    Selina provided a calm exnation. “Elora’s mother was the Earl’s first wife, and she saved his life by chance. That act not only earned his indulgence, but also his guilt. As a result, Elora was raised without many boundaries. The other heirs y into this by constantly ttering her for their own advantage.”


    Katelyn immediately grasped the implications.


    The “ttery trap” meant that no matter how reckless Elora’s behavior was, it was always met with approval and praise. Raised in such an environment, a person could be increasingly reckless, believing they were above any consequences.


    Elora was the perfect example. The ttery trap was terrifying—especially when those who seemed supportive could be the ones with the most harmful intentions.


    Katelyn suddenly found herself curious about what would happen if Elora ever faced a real challenge…
