Reborn of Kate by Isla Rainfield

Chapter 257 You Wish to Die 

Lana stood amidst a whirlwind of vexation, hands clenched with a fierce determination. Her gaze bore into Kate, brimming with a tempest of animosity and resentment, yet she strived to temper these tumultuous emotions. 

Not now, she murmured to herself bitterly, swallowing the bitter pill of restraint. The moment was not ripe for a confrontation with Kate. 

Feeling deeply wronged, Lana turned away with a heavy heart. She could scarcely endure another glance at Kate, much less venture into her sanctum. Lana harboured an unshakable belief that Kate’s gaze harboured naught but scorn for her. 

She protests her innocence, Lana brooded inwardly, bitterness colouring her thoughts. But why else would she appear just as I begin my tenure here? 

Even as Sadler Group faced the spectre of liquidation Lana’s HN Studio flourished. How was it that Kate seemed to sail through life, forever buoyed by the favour of influential patrons? Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Frustration contorted Lana’s countenance, yet at that very moment, the supervisor’s voice pierced the air. Lana, what’s keeping you? Attend to your duties! 

Drawing a deep breath, Lana wrestled her resentment and ire into submission. She retrieved a laden tray, its contents still steaming with simmering heat, and reluctantly retraced her steps towards Kate’s private chamber. Behind the facade of servitude, a glint of malevolence flickered in her 

eyes. 

Within the chamber, Kate maintained an air of tranquility, engrossed in discourse with Abigail about future endeavours. Kate’s back turned towards the entrance, Abigail 

sat opposite, listening with at 

benevolent smile. 

A knock interrupted the proceedings. 

Through the door strode Lana, countenance soured, bearing the tray of soup in silence. Her eyes, however, remained fixed upon Kate, increasingly venomous in their intensity. 

Kate… I shall impart a lesson unto you first! 

With deliberate guile, Lana feigned a misstep. “Oh dear!” she exclaimed, feigning a loss of control over the tray. The scalding soup cascaded directly towards Kate! 

“Take heed!” 

Abigail cried out in alarm, swiftly rising to drag Kate’s chair away and forcefully diverting the tray’s -trajectory. 

“Ah… 

Though the tray was overturned, not all of its contents spilled forth. Nevertheless, a portion of the scorching soup splattered upon Abigail’s arm, instantly suffusing it with crimson and eliciting a sharp intake of breath in pain.

causing a cry of agony to escape her lips, “AHHHHHH! 

Witnessing Lana’s plight, Abigail’s countenance turned frosty, Swiftly, without a moment’s pause, she raised her hand and delivered a resounding slap across Lana’s face! 

A smack rang throughout the parlour. 

The blow came sharp and sudden. 

Kate, still reeling from the earlier shock, had not regiuned her composure when Abigail surged forward and struck Lana. 

“You wretch, were you aiming to drench Kate deliberately? Do you seek strife? Abigail’s eyes gleamed with coldness, fixed upon Lana as if contemplating tearing her apart limb from limb. 

Lana, still bewildered, held her face in disbelief, her voice rising suddenly, “How dare you strike me!” 

Disregarding her own pain, Lana lunged towards Abigail, her hands reaching out in a frenzy, her voice wild with hysteria, “Who do you think you are, daring to strike me!” 

Instantly, the two women grappled, Lana seizing Abigail’s hair with frenzied determination, using hands and feet to assail her opponent. Abigail responded with another stinging slap to Lana’s check and. a forceful grasp of her hair. 

“Release me! 

Kate intervened decisively, seizing Lana’s hair and wrenching her away from Abigail. With swift. precision, Kate delivered another backhanded blow to Lana’s face. A subsequent kick to Lana’s stomach sent her crashing to the ground, her countenance now etched with an icy hostility. “Lana, are you seeking your own demise?” 

Clutching her stomach in pain, Lana cried out, her eyes filled with fear as she stared up at Kate. 

She could not comprehend why Kate’s gaze held such terror for her. In her disoriented state, she even momentarily mistook Kate for Eric!
