?Chapter 665:


    Katelyn stood at the front of the crowd, her presencemanding attention. Lise’s usation made everyone instinctively turn to see her.


    When Vincent caught sight of Katelyn, a sharp spark lit up his eyes. He immediately understood the situation. Since they had dared to challenge Katelyn, they would now have to face the consequences.


    Jaxen eximed in surprise, “Katelyn? Is it really you?”


    Kassandra, no longer concerned with her appearance, sobbed uncontrobly, her tears and mucus mixing as she spoke. “It was her! She pushed me and Lise off the deck, iming she wanted us to learn a lesson, but we didn’t do anything wrong!”


    Katelyn looked at them with an air of superiority. The cold pressure emanating from her made both Kassandra and Lise shiver. Her piercing gaze felt like a knife slicing through the air, poised to expose their hidden motives.


    Unable to hold back a sneer, Katelyn said, “What nonsense! Should I share how you nned to handle me before you both fell into the sea?”


    Kassandra’s face shifted in disbelief, and she shot back, “You’re lying! You came to stir up trouble, warning me to stay away from Mr. Adams, insisting he was your true love, and that no woman should get near him.”


    Kassandra, desperate to find an excuse to target Katelyn, boldly fabricated a lie. Her words stirred the crowd.


    All eyes turned to Katelyn and Vincent.


    “I knew from the moment the rumors started that these two were meant to be together. Katelyn’s jealousy is just too intense; all it took was a simple greeting to Mr. Adams for her to push Kassandra and Lise into the sea.”<fn1e72> Official source is FιndＮovel</fn1e72>


    “On the other hand, Katelyn and Vincent are a great match in every way—looks, personality, and skills. A top designer paired with a CEO is just perfect.”


    ???????? ???????????? ?????????????? ???? ??????????????????????


    These whispers made Katelyn feel uneasy. She felt as though, in the eyes of the onlookers, her rtionship with Vincent could fill the pages of a dramatic novel. But as someone who was part of the story, she knew there was absolutely nothing between them.


    Vincent’s intense gaze remained as unreadable as ever. He couldn’t help but nce at Katelyn. Though he knew she would never say such things, a small sense of satisfaction began to grow within him as Kassandra made her usations. The atmosphere fell silent.


    Katelyn’s eyes, filled with icy determination, caused Kassandra to shiver again, as if she were being thrown into the sea all over. Slowly, Katelyn approached her, and Kassandra trembled even more.


    “It seems you’vepletely ignored my warning, Kassandra. I was going to let you off, but you just can’t seem to take a hint.”


    Katelyn’s voice was as cold as ice, offering no sympathy for either of them. “They conspired to nder me and jumped into the sea on their own to create this dramatic scene.”


    Lise’s eyes widened as she bit her lip. When did Katelyn learn to lie so convincingly? Did she really just say that Lise jumped into the sea to set her up?


    “I wasn’t crazy—why would I risk my own safety like that?” Lise thought, struggling to hold back her anger. Finally, she snapped, “Katelyn, if you tell the truth, no one will me you. Even though you pushed me into the sea, I always considered you family. Lying to cover up your mistakes won’t help.”


    With the backing of those around her, Lise stood tall, speaking as though she were lecturing a clueless child. “I know you’ve never really liked me, but how could you hurt Miss Mason out of jealousy? We’re family, and I can forgive you. But what about her?”


    The focus turned to Kassandra, who quickly replied, “I will never forgive you, and I will make sure this isn’t over.” Her face twisted with rage. “I want you to pay for what you did.”


    Katelyn listened to their usations with indifference, unfazed by them.


    “Do you have any proof?” she asked coolly. “If not, you’re just ndering me. Should I remind you about thew? Once the charges are filed, do you realize how many years in prison you could be facing?”


    Katelyn’s words swiftly silenced them.


    Suddenly, a timid voice called out from behind, “I have evidence!”
