?Chapter 403:


    Katelyn channeled all her strength into that p, her palm tingling afterward.


    Her gaze was cold as she looked at Neil, a mocking smile on her face.


    “Don’t assume everyone sinks to your level. You and I are done. What gives you the right toe here and talk to me like this?”


    Neil’s cheek bore the distinct mark of five fingers.


    His face turned red with rage, much like an enraged lion. “Katelyn, don’t think I won’t retaliate. You’re pushing my limits.”


    The sarcasm in Katelyn’s eyes intensified. “Have you forgotten how you struck me without a second thought to defend Lise? This is just my payback.”


    She would never erase the memory of that demeaning p.


    However, it also dispelled any false perceptions she had about Neil.


    “My love for you ended with that p.”


    Neil clenched his teeth, his voice full of frustration.


    “Is it really that p that’s brought us to this point? It’s been so long. Why can’t you let it go? Haven’t you hit me enough times to even the score? Why are you still angry?”


    Katelyn’s fists tightened, her nails pressing into her palms as a wave of anger rose inside her.


    She didn’t want to waste another word on Neil. Did he really see his betrayal and her hurt as nothing more than petty grudges?


    How much more was she expected to forgive?


    “Neil, you’ll regret your actions today.”


    “Not before you and Vincent do!”

    Neil’s eyes burned with overt hatred as he retorted through clenched teeth.


    “Katelyn, from now on, my only goal is to make sure you both pay dearly!”


    “Go ahead!” Katelyn shot back, mming the door shut right after.


    She realized she needed to find a new ce to stay as soon as possible.


    The ongoing harassment was driving her insane. But as she shut the door, she failed to notice two pairs of eyes watching everything from a corner of the hallway.


    Elora was fuming, the hatred zing in her eyes. She held Katelyn responsible for the humiliation she had suffered at the recent banquet.


    Rumors had spread, turning her into a subject of ridicule among high society. Everywhere she went, she could hear the whispers and feel the judgment. It was as if everyone was pointing at her. This had severely damaged her dignity.


    She turned to the stern man beside her.


    He seemed to be in histe thirties, dressed invish, refined attire, radiating nobility.


    “Dad, did you see her? That despicable woman is the reason I’m in this state. I’ve learned everything about her. She was a home-wrecker beforeing to Yata, colluding with another man to disgrace her former husband. Now, she’s using the same tactics to try and take Bartley from me.”


    Elora’s voice wasced with venom. “I want her to suffer greatly, to be banished from Yata forever.”


    Breck Williams looked at his daughter, his eyes showing a hint of indulgence.


    “Leave this to me. Remember, you’re a nobledy. Don’t let yourself be upset by someone so beneath you.” Elora was his only legitimate heiress.


    No matter his wealth, it was all destined for her. He had treated her like royalty since her childhood.


    “Anyone who upsets my little princess will regret it.”


    “Exactly! Just expelling her from Yata isn’t enough!” Elora smirked wickedly as an idea came to her. “Why not sell her into servitude as the most pitiful of ves?”


    In Yata, numerous ck-market dealings operated without fear of legal repercussions, with the whole country tacitly supporting this undergroundwork.<fn36e1> Latest content published on find{n}ovel</fn36e1>


    Each segment of thiswork promised huge profits. The ves Elora referred to were considered the lowest in the ck market.


    They were not only of low status but also traded likemon goods. If someone was short on cash, they could even use ves, valued ording to their appearance.


    Breck’s tone was firm. “Elora, how could youe up with such a cruel idea? I’m honestly a little disappointed.”
