Lise stared down at Katelyn.

“Just hand over the oil field, and maybe I’ll consider letting you join us.”

“You’re dreaming,” Katelyn shot back without hesitation. “My grandmother entrusted that land to me, and I intend to honor that trust.”

Katelyn was acutely aware that without Lise’s interference, Carol wouldn’t have been so disappointed, and the land would likely have fallen into Neil’s hands. However, thanks to their recent disgraceful actions, Carol had lost all trust in them.

“Lise, I’m not in the mood for any arguments. Move out of my way!” Her voice was frigid.

Katelyn struggled to hide the storm of emotions inside, but Lise saw the urgency in her eyes.

Lise’s smile widened, clearly savoring Katelyn’s discomfort. She enjoyed watching her former rival squirm, feeling as though she finally had Katelyn right where she wanted her.

“This is the Wheeler family estate,” Lise replied with biting sarcasm. “Where exactly should I go?”

She surveyed the area mockingly. “Not many people are around to witness this, Katelyn. Stop pretending. You only got close to Carol for that land, didn’t you?”

Had Carol not openly discussed the land, Katelyn would have remained completely unaware of its existence.

Katelyn’s hands balled into fists, her fury bubbling over.

For the third time, she demanded, “Move aside!”

Lise sneered, her eyes scanning the area. “Where are the security guards? Come and deal with this troublesome woman!”

Within moments, several guards rushed toward them, batons in hand. They quickly formed a tight circle around Katelyn.

With a smug grin, Lise watched on, confident that she had the upper hand.

Previously, Katelyn had humiliated her on the yacht, and now Lise finally had her chance for revenge.

One-on-one, she knew she couldn’t take Katelyn down. But with the crowd around them, she was confident they could overpower her.

“Just teach her a lesson and then throw her out, but make sure she can still breathe afterwards.”

Lise turned away with confidence, but just as she took a step, a scream echoed from behind.

“Ahhhh!”

She spun around quickly. What just happened? Was that scream from a man? Newest update provided by Find[?]ovel.net

Lise’s eyes widened in surprise. By this time, two guards were already on the ground beside Katelyn.

Katelyn’s expression was cold, her movements lethal, aimed precisely at their weak spots.
