Katelyn smirked and quickened her pace. The figure behind her picked up their pace too, but as Katelyn rounded a corner, she vanished.
“Where did she go?”
Lise’s eyes narrowed as she scanned the area, searching for any trace of Katelyn. She had been following her all this way, so how had she vanished so suddenly?
Frustration bubbled inside her as she balled her fists tightly. Just when she was about to turn away, feeling that her search was pointless, Katelyn appeared out of nowhere, standing right in front of her.
With a cold stare and a smirk tugging at her lips, Katelyn asked, “Looking for someone?”
Lise had just made a scene in Carol’s ward earlier. It seemed she was eager for more trouble.
A wave of surprise washed over Lise, draining the color from her face as she instinctively stepped back. She frowned, irritation creeping into her voice as she shot back, “Where did you come from? Don’t you know that scaring someone like that could give them a heart attack?”
Why did it feel like Katelyn’s tricks were growing more devious? Every encounter with Katelyn felt like a game where Lise was the unwitting fool. This ongoing charade irritated Lise to her core. Katelyn needed to be kept in check, never to rise again.
Katelyn looked back at her, amusement dancing in her eyes. “Lise, your memory must be slipping. Have you already forgotten that slap?”
Lise had obviously grown wary of Katelyn, which was why she had chosen to follow her in secret. No matter how hard she tried, Katelyn always slipped away, leaving Lise with nothing to prove.
A flicker of guilt passed through Lise’s eyes, but she quickly masked it, regaining her composure.

With a raised eyebrow, Lise looked directly at Katelyn. With no one else around, she felt no need to pretend.
“Who says I was following you? I was just wandering around. Are you feeling guilty about something and worried I’ll find out, so you’re accusing me of stalking?”
Crossing her arms, Lise looked at Katelyn with a mix of satisfaction and defiance.
“Don’t fool yourself; just because you’ve caught Vincent’s eye doesn’t mean you’ll really marry into wealth. To him, you’re just a passing fancy. When he grows bored, he’ll throw you aside.”
A spark of sarcasm flashed in Katelyn’s eyes. Was this the best Lise could do? So pathetic! Even after everything that had unfolded, she clung to the belief that Katelyn owed her progress entirely to Vincent’s influence.
Katelyn didn’t say a word, but the cold fire in her eyes felt like a slap to Lise’s face. In that moment, Lise felt like the butt of a joke all over again.
Anger flared inside her as she shot back, “What are you trying to say with that look? Don’t think you can fool everyone with your little act. One day, I’ll reveal your true self.”
