?Chapter 388:


    Though the voice was low, it carried such amanding presence. In theplete silence of the scene, it resonated deeply with everyone present.


    Katelyn turned her head in astonishment, and her surprise grew even greater when she saw Vincent. “What on earth did he just say? I was his girlfriend?” she eximed inwardly.


    For a moment, Katelyn wondered if her ears were ying tricks on her.


    Vincent approached Katelyn while keeping his gaze fixed on Elora. Although Katelyn hadn’t exined much about her issues with Elora, Vincent had a general understanding of the situation, especially after hearing Elora’s recent remarks.


    Elora’s frustration was evident as she spoke through gritted teeth. “Can’t you even manage to control your girlfriend? She’s out there flirting with other men every single day.”<fnb3b9> Get full chapters from ?ovelFind</fnb3b9>


    Herment made Vincent glower at her. In a bone-chilling voice, he stated, “Elora, just because we’re in Yata doesn’t mean you can do whatever the hell you want.”


    The look in his eyes was enough to send shivers down Elora’s spine. Never in her life had she encountered anyone so terrifying. Vincent’s presence was even more intimidating than her father’s. Just looking into Vincent’s eyes made her want to run away in fear.


    But then, she masked that fear with anger and pride. No matter what, she was Elora, the princess of Yata. Anyone who dared cross her was simply asking for trouble.


    “I saw her talking to my fiancé. If that’s not flirting, what is it?” Elora demanded.


    Katelyn shot her a sardonic re. All the sympathy she had once felt for Elora was now gone. At first, she had thought Elora was just a misguided, spoiled brat. But it was clear now that she was mistaken. Elora was awful to her core.


    G  a lno  ve ls . is where the magic begins


    Elora was making a scene in public, clearly aiming to tarnish Katelyn’s reputation and disrupt her coboration with Selina. In essence, Elora and Lise were cut from the same cloth. Their only difference was that they used different tactics to get what they wanted.


    Katelyn’s expression grew stern as she responded, “You should verify your facts before making usations. Your fiancé was the one who approached me; I have no personal connection with him. If you persist in publicly defaming me, I will be forced to take legal action.” She then turned to Bartley, her disdain evident. “Mr. Lawrence, you should be the one to address the issues you’ve caused me.” Her patience was running thin.


    Bartley looked embarrassed, not expecting Elora’s usual antics to escte this much. He turned to Elora with a look of disappointment. “Elora, enough’s enough. Don’t push it any further!”


    Elora’s emotions red in response to his challenge. She began to cry, pointing angrily at Katelyn. Her pride and dignity felt thoroughly undermined. “Isn’t it obvious that this woman has enchanted you? Why do you keep choosing her over me?” she demanded.


    Katelyn quickly realized that trying to reason with Elora was futile. It felt like speaking to a brick wall. Elora remained lost in her own world, stubbornly clinging to her distorted version of the events.


    Vincent’s eyes were intense as he spoke, “Did you not hear what I just said? Katelyn is my girlfriend. Do you honestly believe she would leave me to pursue someone like your fiancé?” His tone was assertive andmanding, fitting his position.


    Vincent, in both appearance and stature, matched Bartley. They had different styles and ways of carrying themselves, but in terms of physical features, Vincent was clearly more striking. He led the Adams Group, one of the top three global enterprises, and presided over a vast business empire. In stark contrast, Bartley’s family had lost much of its former glory and now relied on arranged marriages to sustain their financial footing. While Bartley might appear respectable on his own, he paled inparison to Vincent.


    Katelyn nearly burst intoughter, stifling her amusement as she gave Vincent a subtle thumbs-up. Every word he uttered was admirable.


    Bartley wasn’t pleased with Vincent’s words. He nced at Elora, seeing that she was still determined to respond, and immediately grabbed her arm, leading her out of the banquet hall. Before leaving, he shot Vincent a piercing re.


    Seeing his reaction made Katelyn’s heart skip a beat.
