?Chapter 377:


    Lise recorded a video, her voice sharp with urgency as she shouted to capture every detail.


    Soon, people rushed over, drawn by the unfolding scene. A sea of angry faces surrounded Katelyn, their eyes shing with rage.


    An older woman in the crowd snapped, “How dare youy a hand on our princess! This is beyond forgiveness!” Others quickly joined in, their voices rising in unison. “Everyone, stop her! She mustn’t get away. No one disrespects Princess Elora!”


    The crowd’s reaction took Katelyn by surprise. She hadn’t realized until now how powerful Elora’s influence was over them. Even a single shout from Lise was enough to gather a crowd of curious onlookers.


    Katelyn’s own research had shown that the Williams family’s influence had faded, but this sight was unexpected.


    Elora straightened up slowly, her eyes shing with a cold, determined gleam. For years, her family had been giving generously to charity, carefully shaping their public image as major contributors to local causes. This effort had earned them a wide circle of devoted supporters.<fn65cf> This text is hosted at </fn65cf>


    Katelyn stepped back, her fists clenched, bracing herself for a fight. Even in this unfamiliar ce, she refused to be intimidated. No matter howrge the crowd, she was determined not to back down.


    Lise barely contained her grin, her eyes sparkling with anticipation for Katelyn’s defeat. “Someone teach her a lesson—don’t let her get away!” she shouted.


    At Lise’smand, a few people exchanged determined looks and lunged at Katelyn.


    Katelyn dodged one attacker with a swift move and swept low, sending two of them crashing to the floor.

    “Thud!” They hit hard, their cries of pain filling the air as they struggled to get up. The others, seeing this, hesitated, surprised by Katelyn’s strength.


    Despite the odds, Katelyn stood her ground, unfazed.


    The crowd hesitated, unwilling to take a beating for nothing. Katelyn’s strikes were quick and precise, taking down her opponents with impressive skill.


    Even though her right arm was injured and couldn’t deliver its full power, it didn’t slow her down in the fight. Lise, watching the group falter, felt a strong urge to step in and give them a kick.


    Why were they so ineffective? Even with so many of them, they struggled against just Katelyn. Was she really that difficult to handle? If they showed loyalty to Elora, surely she would reward them with generous payment.


    Elora’s gaze was as cold as ever, but she watched Katelyn’s right arm closely. Despite the reports from her assassin saying that Katelyn was injured, she seemed perfectly fine. Her counterattacks were sharp and precise—better than those from her guards.


    Lise’s frustration reached a boiling point. “What are you all standing around for? Move! Even with all of you, you can’t handle one woman?”


    The crowd hesitated more and more. They genuinely wanted to defend Elora, who had been so helpful to them, but they watched in distress as theirrades suffered. As they considered their options, some began to back away.


    Most of those who hade to help were only there to watch, unwilling to put themselves in danger. As some of the crowd fled, the rest wavered, caught between maintaining a brave front for Elora and avoiding a painful defeat.


    After witnessing Katelyn’s skill, they realized that even working together, they wouldn’t stand a chance against her.


    Katelyn, noting their fearful expressions, addressed the crowd calmly, “If you leave now, you won’t get hurt.”


    More people fled in response.


    With only a few of the new arrivals left, Elora lost herposure and shouted, “Kill this woman! You won’t face any consequences, and I’ll even give you a million!”
