After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 318 I Am Her Husband Scarlett and Ethan hadn't even stepped out of the car when they saw Katniss rushing out and hugging someone tightly.

Scarlett kept glancing at Ethan, her expression curious.

"Ethan, who's that?" Scarlett asked.

Ethan shook his head, puzzled.

He got out of the car, handed the keys to the hotel valet, and walked toward Katniss and Maximilian.

Seeing Ethan get out, Scarlett quickly followed, trying to link her arm with his.

Noticing that Ethan didn't push her away, Scarlett's smile grew even wider.

Katniss, after hugging Maximilian for a moment, remembered Ethan and Scarlett and quickly let go. "Katniss, who's this?" Ethan's voice cfrom behind, calm but with a hint of curiosity directed at Maximilian.

Ethan felt that Maximilian looked familiar, but he couldn't recall where he had seen him before.

Katniss, feeling awkward, held Maximilian's hand, unsure whether to introduce their relationship or keep it a secret.

Unable to decide, Katniss looked up at Maximilian.

Maximilian squeezed her hand reassuringly and said to Ethan, "I'm Katniss's husband, Maximilian Hamilton." As soon as he spoke, Ethan and Scarlett were both stunned, and even Katniss tightened her grip on Maximilian's hand.

"Yeah, he's my husband. He happened to be in Starhaven for a business trip," Katniss said, her face showing obvious happiness.

Ethan nodded, feeling that he had heard Maximilian's nbefore. After a moment of thought, he suddenly realized.

He looked at Maximilian, first with surprise, then certainty, and finally with clear respect.

"I've heard my professor mention you, Mr. Hamilton," Ethan said.

Using the formal address made the atmosphere a bit strange, though Ethan didn't seem to notice.

Scarlett gently tugged at his sleeve, bringing him back to reality. "Mr. Hamilton, would you like to join us for dinner?" Ethan asked.

Maximilian looked at Katniss, who nodded, and he agreed to Ethan's invitation.

The four of them headed to the hotel restaurant, and the atmosphere between them was much better than it had been in the car.

Starhaven Airport.

Desmond had just gotten off the plane and couldn't wait to turn on his phone.

Seeing no missed calls from Clara, he felt a wave of unease.

Unable to wait until he was out of the airport, Desmond called Clara.

He thought, 'Clara lovesso much, I'm afraid she might do something foolish.' But the call went unanswered.

At the Manners Manor In Clara's room, a phone rang alone.

Clara wasn't in her room; she was at the front gate of the Manners Manor.

Ella had been shouting for a long tbefore Clara finally cout, looking both arrogant and angry.

Luckily, she was smart enough to guess that Clara might have returned to the Manners Manor and cstraight here.

Clara stopped a few steps away from the iron gate, facing Ella with a cold expression. But since they were at the Manners Manor, she didn't show it too obviously.

"What do you want?" Clara asked in a low voice, clearly not wanting anyone but Ella to hear.

Ella, however, didn't care and continued shouting, "What do you think? I'm your mother, can't I cto see you?" After taking money from Clara last time, Ella had quickly spent it all. She was here to get more money, of course! Originally, she had planned to ask nicely, but Clara had returned to the Manners Manor without telling her, which made her furious.

"I'm not your daughter. I'm part of the Manners family now, and I have nothing to do with you. If you want to find your daughter, go find Katniss!" Clara was angry, but she kept her voice low.

Ella, like a persistent rash, wouldn't leave her alone. Clara was fed up with her. She was even more annoyed with Katniss for kicking her out! Ella sneered, "The one listed in the family records withisn't Katniss, it's you, Clara. I am out of money, so givesome!" Ella knew Clara was easy to manipulate. She hated Clara for Aaron's death, believing it was Clara's fault.

If Aaron were still alive, she wouldn't be in this situation! It was all Clara's fault! Clara said, "You're not getting any money from me!" "If you hadn't caused your father's death, I wouldn't be asking you for money. It's all your fault!" Ella shouted, leaning against the iron gate and pointing at Clara, her voice loud enough to scare Clara into trying to cover her mouth.

Enjoying the book? Don't forget to visit novi L5sfor the full experience. You won't find the next chapter anywhere else. Happy reading! Ella stepped back, avoiding Clara's hand.

"What are you talking about? That's slander! The police cleared me!" Clara was desperate to open the gate and stop Ella's reckless accusations.

Ella stepped back a few paces, hands on her hips, and continued shouting from a distance, "I don't know how you managed to fool the police, but don't think no one knows! You were the one who wanted Aaron dead the most!" Afraid that Ella's loud voice would attract attention, Clara angrily shouted, "Shut up! How much do you want?" Ella smugly held up a few fingers, "This much for now. I'm not trying to make things difficult for you." Clara was reluctant but eventually went to get the money.

"If you chere causing trouble again, don't expect any more money!" she warned as she handed over the cash.

Ella took the money and started counting, not paying attention to Clara's words.

Not only that, but after counting, she looked at Clara with disdain.

Clara, angered by her look, asked, "What kind of look is that?" Ella put the money away and pulled a newspaper from her bag. "Look at yourself! You've embarrassed yourself in the papers!" Ella threw the newspaper at Clara's face.

Seeing Clara's shocked expression, she continued, "If you hadn't made a fool of yourself in the papers, I could have gone back to the Hill Family Village!" Ella was genuinely embarrassed. Aaron's death had already made her a pariah in the Hill Family Village, with rumors that Clara was the killer.

Now, Clara had been photographed entering a hotel with someone who had a girlfriend, and it was all over the papers.

Ella hadn't known about Clara's scandal until someone from the Hill Family Village called to ask if it was true. Chapter 318 I Am Her Husband Tip: You can use left, right keyboard keys to browse between chapters.
