?Chapter 376:


    Katelyn expertly dodged the iing blow, her reflexes sharp.


    With swift precision, she countered, delivering a sharp kick to Lise’s shin.


    A loud bang echoed through the air.


    “Ahhhhh!”


    “Ah!”


    Lise’s body arched through the air before colliding with Elora, who had been close behind. Both women tumbled to the floor in a tangled heap. Lise was the first to recover, crying out in pain, her face contorting as if her leg might be fractured.


    Anger surged across her features, fueled by deep-seated hatred.


    “I will make her pay,” she thought furiously, her gaze fixed on Katelyn.


    Meanwhile, Elora felt as though her entire body had fractured from the impact.


    In frustration, she yelled, “Get off me, you idiot!”


    Her voice was harsh, strained through clenched teeth. Despite her own difort, Lise quickly tried to disentangle herself from Elora.


    From a short distance, Katelyn observed them struggle to their feet, supporting each other. Her expression remained impassive, her face a mask of cold detachment. She had made a crucial observation. Both women had primarily targeted her right arm during their assault. To conceal the injury, Katelyn had draped a jacket over her bandaged arm. But how did they know?


    “Could Elora be behind the attack?” Katelyn pondered, fixing a piercing gaze on Elora.


    “Did you orchestrate the attack on me?” she demanded sharply.


    Elora’s rebuttal was swift and biting.


    She stood, her eyes burning with hostility.


    “I don’t know what you’re talking about. But mark my words, you will regret this day. I swear, even skinning you alive wouldn’t quench my wrath,” she hissed venomously.


    Undeterred, Katelyn narrowed her eyes, a cold smirk curling her lips.


    “Keep denying it. Once I have enough proof, I’ll take this to the police,” she retorted.


    Hearing this, Elora and Lise exchanged incredulous nces before bursting intoughter. Lise, in particr,ughed out loud, her amusementced with disdain. “She really thinks she can challenge us here,” Lise thought, mocking Katelyn’s naive bravado.


    After all, this was not Katelyn’s homnd, and Elora’s influence here was formidable. Even in the harsh light of day, if Elora were tomit murder, no one would dare to challenge her—not even the police. With a confident sneer, Lise taunted, “Go ahead, call the police. See if it changes anything. Who dares oppose Princess Elora here?”


    Katelyn’s fists tightened with tension.


    Did the authorities in thisnd truly bow to those of noble birth?


    Elora’s arrogance came as no surprise. It stemmed not only from her family’s indulgence but also from a society that condoned her actions. Katelyn’s voice was frosty as she warned, “Mark this smugness, for soon you’ll find even the thought ofughter too daunting.”


    She fixed a stern gaze on Elora and tried to move past, but Elora blocked her path.


    This was a moment of peak frustration and humiliation for Elora.


    Her eyes burned with hatred as she faced Katelyn.


    “Get on your knees and beg for my forgiveness now! Fail to do so, and I assure you, both you and your employer will be expelled from Yata within three days—or worse, expelled from life itself!”


    Elora’s threat wasced with a clear intent to kill. The intensity of her desire for Katelyn’s demise was unmistakable. Although her family’s status was fading, they still fiercely held onto their earldom, and Elora would not tolerate any challenge to her regal authority. The respect shemanded was merely a local custom, not backed by any real royal endorsement.


    “Get on my knees and beg forgiveness?”


    Disdain flickered in Katelyn’s eyes. It was clear Elora had not learned her lesson.


    “Why should I do that?” Katelyn retorted boldly, stoking Elora’s fury even further.


    At that instant, Lise whipped out her phone, pointing it at Katelyn. “Help! Princess Elora is being attacked!”
