Lise was on the edge of losing control, but she forced herself to hold back the storm of emotions inside.

Katelyn shot a glance at Lise, her voice cold.

“Didn’t you hear? Neil asked me to sign at the Housing Bureau. He wants to transfer all his real estate and shares to me.”

Katelyn knew exactly what Lise longed for. And now, she wasn’t going to hold back from shattering Lise’s dreams.

“What?” The Bailey family gasped in shock, all speaking at once. All the shares and real estate? The amount was unimaginable. They couldn’t even begin to fathom it.

But why was this happening? Katelyn and Neil were nothing but ex-spouses now. Why on earth would he give all his wealth to Katelyn? Even if they might reconcile, Neil would never do something like that!

Lise shot a venomous glare at Katelyn.

“What did you do to him? Did you threaten him somehow?”

This was completely out of character for Neil.

Katelyn gave a mocking smile.

“He’s giving it all to me willingly. What more is there to explain?” In that instant, Katelyn felt a rush of satisfaction.

“All your scheming was useless. It’s mine now, so what’s the point?”

At first, Katelyn hadn’t wanted to reveal everything, especially not in front of outsiders. But the Bailey family had crossed a line. If they wanted to make things ugly, so be it.

Suddenly, a loud alarm blared from outside the door.

gα?ησν?s?com, the place for amazing tales

Jeff and Sharon both froze, shocked by the unexpected arrival of the tax officials. Could they really have come this fast?

Jeff’s eyes shot toward Katelyn, panic creeping into his gaze. He couldn’t let Katelyn go on with this. If she did, they could very well find themselves behind bars.

At that moment, Lise grabbed a fruit knife from the table, her hand tightening around the handle, and rushed toward Katelyn’s chest.

“Katelyn, you should just die!”

If she couldn’t have Neil’s properties, then Katelyn couldn’t either.

The crowd inhaled sharply, their gasps filled with disbelief.

However, Katelyn was prepared. As the knife rushed toward her, she swiftly sidestepped. The blade drove into the chair, embedding itself in the spot where Katelyn had been seated only seconds earlier.

Katelyn had already evaded the attack and now stood to the side, unfazed. Her eyes, cold and steady, locked onto Lise. Turning to the officials, Katelyn spoke, her voice clear.

“She tried to kill me with that knife. You all saw it, didn’t you?”

Since the Bailey family’s arrival, things had only spiraled into chaos. The officials had endured countless insults from the Bailey family. Suddenly, a few stepped forward and addressed Katelyn, “We saw everything, and there are cameras recording it all.”
