After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 287 "Ah?" Katniss felt touched and sweet inside, "So, are we staying at home?" "Whatever you want to do, I'll accompany you," Maximilian said, looking like he was ready to follow Katniss's lead.

Katniss said, "Then... do you want to go to a hot spring, Maximilian?" After going to the hot spring yesterday, Katniss thought it was pretty good and had the idea of taking Maximilian there.

But after saying it out loud, Katniss realized it was not much different from inviting Maximilian to bathe together. Katniss felt a bit shy and regretful.

But before she could take back her words, Maximilian quickly agreed.

"Sure, I'll take you to a hot spring today." Katniss inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Okay, Maximilian." Maximilian patted Katniss's head and said indulgently, "Get up, wash up, and let's eat." Golden Crest Estates was filled with harmony and joy, On the other side, Clara was tied to a utility pole, not in a good state.

She had been unconscious all night, first drugged and then fell asleep.

When she woke up, she found herself tied to a utility pole. Looking around, she realized the place was very remote, completely unfamiliar to her.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Clara was almost driven to tears.

"Is anyone there?" she started shouting around.

But she shouted for a long time, her throat almost dry, and found no one around, not even the person who tied her up.

She had to keep trying and finally managed to shake her phone out.

After adjusting the phone's position, Clara managed to dial Desmond's number.

After doing all this, she was exhausted, sweating profusely, and her face turned pale. Fortunately, the call finally went through.

But the phone rang for a long twithout being answered, making Clara more anxious, almost crying. "Why can't I get through? What is Desmond doing?" After struggling for a long time, Clara couldn't reach Desmond, but someone passing by noticed her.

"Why are you tied up here? Who tied you up?" The passerby seemed to be a local villager, untying her while asking.

Clara's wrists were red from being tied up. When the person untied her, she focused on her red wrists and answered perfunctorily, "I don't know who tiedup. I was tied here last night." After speaking, Clara looked at the person with tearful eyes and asked, "I want to call the police. Can you testify for me?" Desmond's phone was still unreachable, and she was warned by Brynn yesterday not to contact Desmond again. This made Clara suspect who tied her up.

It must be Brynn! Only she would do this! That bitch not only threatened her but also tied her up. She would make that bitch pay! The person shook his head after hearing this, seeing that Clara was fine, he got up to leave: "I have to go to the construction site, no tto testify for you." Planning your weekend reading?

Clara then looked at his attire and realized he was likely a nearby laborer, so she distanced herself a bit.

But thinking it would be better to have someone testify when calling the police, she said, "I'll pay you two days' wages if you testify for me!" Although her attitude wasn't great, the laborer thought about getting two days' wages in one day and agreed. Clara despised his opportunistic behavior but called the police. The police arrived quickly, collected evidence, and took both of them to the station.

During the statement, when the police asked if Clara had any suspects, she immediately mentioned Brynn's name.

Brynn dared to warn her, so she was prepared to be suspected.

She tearfully recounted being warned by Brynn over the phone yesterday, and the police quickly reacted, bringing Brynn to the station.

Facing each other, Brynn realized she was called in because Clara reported her.

"I didn't send anyone to tie her up." After hearing the whole story, Brynn immediately explained.

Seeing Clara's pitiful and aggrieved look, Brynn found it annoying.

"She was pestering my boyfriend. I just warned her a few times, didn't do anything to her. She's slandering me." "There's no evidence proving it's you, Brynn. Don't get agitated," the police reassured Brynn and continued, "As for this lady pestering your boyfriend, do you need our help?" Someone at the station recognized Brynn as the daughter of the Elise family, so they were polite to her.

In contrast, Clara was neglected.

Clara was furious, seeing Brynn being flattered and unafraid, she shouted, "Desmond is mine! You're the one pestering him!" Brynn laughed in anger, "Desmond and I are about to get engaged. Who do you think is pestering him?" Seeing Clara's pale face, Brynn felt slightly better.

"You must have sent someone to tieup, and you won't admit it!" Unable to win over Brynn regarding Desmond, Clara continued to accuse Brynn.

"Tsk, don't say things without evidence, or you'll get into trouble," Brynn warned Clara, then turned to the police, "Can I sue her for defamation?" "If the tying up has nothing to do with you, Brynn, you can indeed pursue her for defamation." The key point was that Clara's defamation of Brynn was said in front of the police, making it impossible to deny.

Clara's eyes turned red with anger.

The more unafraid Brynn appeared, the more certain Clara was that Brynn was behind it. "Can't you investigate her? She must have paid the person who tiedup. You'll find out if you check!" "This..." "Check it," Brynn said indifferently, "And after you find out, detain her for a few days for defaming me. My mental health has been greatly affected. She should be detained for a few days, right?" Clara visibly panicked but quickly realized this might be Brynn's way of avoiding investigation.

She becmore certain it was Brynn.

The police quickly investigated, but the results were completely unexpected for Clara.

"It wasn't her?" Clara's eyes widened in disbelief, "How could it not be her?" Brynn crossed her arms, gloating, "I told you it wasn't me."

Seeing Clara's shocked expression, Brynn couldn't help but mock, "People like you have many enemies. Think carefully about who else might want to get back at you. Don't go around biting people like a mad dog!" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
