Katelyn simply shook her head, watching Lise with a mix of pity and disdain. She glanced at Lise with a hint of sympathy and said with a smirk, “I find you truly pathetic. Even if you have your physical needs met, you’re still empty inside. Do you really think all my success comes from a man?”
Lise stood in shock, her disbelief written all over her face as her eyes widened.
Katelyn pressed on, her words landing like heavy blows. “Because you live that way, you think I should, too. You’re truly pathetic.” Official source is f?ndnovel.net
Once, Katelyn had seen Lise as her fiercest rival, constantly battling to clear her name while Lise played the victim.
Fighting to prove herself was draining; it only took a few whispers from others to create damaging rumors that were tough to shake off. Caught in this exhausting cycle, Katelyn felt increasingly worn down. Neil had unwittingly become the prize in their rivalry. It was only when Katelyn found her own strength that she finally broke free from this relentless game.
Looking back at Lise’s clumsy traps, Katelyn couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and disdain. Her scornful gaze and sharp words struck deep, leaving Lise reeling.
Lise wanted to snap back but found herself speechless, only able to grit her teeth and spit out, “Even without Neil, I’m still the Bailey family’s daughter. We belong together. You’re just jealous because I took everything from you!”
Katelyn shrugged, her expression cool and detached. “What else do you have besides that title? Haven’t you learned? A crow can wear peacock feathers, but it’s still just a crow.”
Lise’s eyes narrowed, words stuck in her throat, unable to respond.
“Even without Vincent as my boss, I would still reach the heights I have. Unlike you, who is satisfied just as someone’s sidekick.”

The difference between them had never been clearer.
Lise’s face burned with anger and embarrassment. In a desperate attempt to regain her dignity, she suddenly lunged at Katelyn, hatred flashing in her eyes.
Lise’s eyes brimmed with pure hatred. No matter what, she was resolute in making Katelyn pay for her actions. She swung her hand with all her strength, but Katelyn easily dodged it. A taunting smile appeared on Katelyn’s face as she seized Lise’s wrist. A loud snap rang out, followed by Lise’s cry of pain.
Katelyn looked at her with a cold gaze and mocked, “It seems you’re really courting death.”
Sweat beaded on Lise’s forehead as fear filled her eyes. She clenched her teeth and forced out each word. “Katelyn, how dare you break my hand! All I did was argue with you. How could you do this to me? I will reveal your true nature!”
The hatred in Lise’s heart deepened. Katelyn scoffed, looking down at her scornfully. “This is the cost of provoking me! Try it again, and next time it might not just be your hand!” With that, she let go of Lise, who stumbled and almost fell.
