With fluid grace, Katelyn dodged and countered with a swift kick to the guard’s gut. Though she was slender, the force of her kick sent the guard flying, the impact unmistakably powerful—like that of a full-grown man.

Sharon’s eyes bulged in disbelief. Katelyn’s strength was more than enough to send a fully grown man flying?

Katelyn moved like lightning, her blows landing with swift, brutal accuracy. Another guard fell from the kick. A sharp left hook followed by an elbow strike, and then a side kick. Katelyn’s attacks were lightning-fast.

“Ahhh!”

Before long, Sharon’s bodyguards were sprawled out on the ground, groaning in agony and clutching their injuries.

The room had erupted into chaos.

Sharon stood frozen amidst the fallen men, her face ashen.

Damn it. She had misjudged Katelyn once again. This content belongs to F?nd-Novel.net

Katelyn casually rubbed her wrist, her eyes cold and unblinking as she looked at Sharon.

“You still want to keep going?”

“Katelyn, what are you planning to do?”

Lise rushed over. When she saw what was happening, she let out a cry and hurried to shield Sharon, her eyes locking on Katelyn with a wary intensity.

“You’ve already come after me,” Lise said. “Are you free to go after my mom too?”

Katelyn’s gentle face hardened into stone. She clenched her fists, swallowing the anger rising within her. This was a hospital, and here, she had to stay in control.

“She’s the one who came at me.”

Lise stared back, momentarily speechless at Katelyn’s bold response. She looked down at the bodyguards lying on the floor, groaning in pain. A flicker of frustration crossed Lise’s face; she had no words for Sharon’s rash actions. The Katelyn they once knew was gone. She was different now—unyielding, fierce, and no longer bound by family ties the way she used to be.

Even so, Sharon had shown up with just a small crew, ready to cause chaos. Did she realize she was walking straight into a trap?

With a clenched jaw and blazing eyes, Sharon shot back, “Katelyn, don’t think I’m afraid of you. If you push me too far, I’ll make sure we all go down together.” She’d never been brought this low before. And all of it was because of Katelyn. If she’d only known things would end up like this, she would have taken Katelyn out from the very beginning.

Katelyn’s stare was icy as she looked at Sharon. After endless betrayals, Katelyn had let go of any bond between them.

Sharon was no longer family—she was just someone from the past, linked only by resentment.
