?Chapter 524:


    Annie stood off to one side, her lips twisted into a satisfied smirk. She was convinced that after Katelyn’s reputation had been tarnished by numerous men, Vincent would surely reject her.


    With each step backward, Katelyn found herself increasingly cornered. Her hands were bound behind her, and her eyes flickered with suppressed panic as she tried to maintain herposure. She said, “What do you want? Even nobles don’t have the right to harassmoners without consequence.”


    Her disy of fear seemed to amuse the guards greatly. One of them stripped off his clothes while saying to Katelyn, “In Yata, nobles are above all!”


    Trapped with no escape, Katelyn’s hands balled into fists. Witnessing Annie’s gleeful cackling ignited a fierce anger in Katelyn’s gaze.


    Katelyn understood she had be Annie’s sworn enemy, but she hadn’t anticipated such a cruel plot. They were in a dimly lit underground parking lot, where Annie’s sinister ns seemed especially obvious.


    Annie’s face broke into a victorious grin.


    “Katelyn, let’s see you try to get away this time. Hurry, guards!”


    “Yes,” the four guards responded, closing in on Katelyn. She seemed as vulnerable as amb trapped in an intricate maze, her visible distress adding to her allure. As one of them reached out eagerly to snatch Katelyn’s outer garment, a resounding ng filled the air.


    In a swift motion, Katelyn broke free from her restraints and delivered a strong punch directly to the stomach of the man in front of her.

    “Ahhhhh!”


    Let your mind wander with g?lnσν????s﹒??????


    The force of her punch sent the man backward, mming him hard against the wall as his cries echoed through the room.


    With a stoic expression, Katelyn slipped off the handcuffs, holding onto them instead of casting them aside. At that moment, they were her most effective defense.


    Her expression cold, Katelyn nced down at the man writhing in agony, noticing the blood seeping from his mouth.


    Specifically, her punch had targeted his most vulnerable spot—the spleen. Despite the usual strength differences between genders, her punch was powerful enough topletely disable an adult male. His spleen was badly damaged, and without immediate medical attention, his life was in grave danger.


    Katelyn’s years of training had not only honed her shy skills but also sharpened her ability to overpower her opponents swiftly and efficiently.


    Now, the tables had turned. What was once prey had transformed into predator.


    Everyone watching was taken aback by Katelyn’s quick and decisive moves, including Annie, who recoiled in absolute fear. Underneath that fear, resentment brewed.


    Previously tormented by Katelyn, Annie had brought her guards this time,plete with handcuffs to avoid any mishaps. However, she hadn’t foreseen Katelyn escaping so quickly.


    It had taken them less than five minutes to move from the hospital room to the underground parking lot.


    Katelyn’s stare cut through the air, her eyes emanating a tant threat. Seeing this, Annie grew even paler.


    “Katelyn, don’t think you can attack me and escape unpunished!”


    With a smirk, Katelyn slowly closed the distance between them. Her footsteps were quiet, yet to Annie, they seemed to echo with a heart-crushing dread.


    Panic seized Annie, reminiscent of when Katelyn had painfully twisted her wrist. The memory was so vivid that she felt as though she were reliving the moment.


    Had she known Katelyn to be so powerful, she would have brought more backup.


    Overwhelmed, Annie stumbled backward and fell hard to the ground.


    With her arm in a cast, she looked even more pitiful, her appearance bordering on absurd.


    The longer Katelyn stayed silent, the deeper Annie’s fear grew.


    Katelyn gazed down at her with disdain, making Annie seem as insignificant as an ant.


    “I nned to let this go, but you seem bent on your own ruin.”


    Hearing those words, Annie sensed the ominous ring of a death knell.


    The guards behind Katelyn exchanged looks, clenched their teeth, and, with batons in hand, charged at her.


    They knew well that if anything happened to Annie, their fates would be sealed.
