Chapter 168
"Mira, I threw away all the worn ones."
Mira asked in confusion, "Mrs. Hamilton, why did you throw them away?"
"Because..."
Mira immediately laughed, "Say no more, I get it."
Katniss remained silent.
How does Mira understand everything?
"Mrs. Hamilton," Mira closed the wardrobe door mysteriously, "once these clothes are worn out, I'll buy some even more unique ones."
Katniss wanted to say it wasn't necessary, but then thought the faster they were used up, the better it proved her relationship with Maximilian.
Katniss accepted Mira's "kindness."
Mira smiled and left the room.
Katniss looked at the wardrobe, had a thought, and got up to walk over.
Might as well mess up a few pieces, leave some traces, so as not to arouse suspicion.
Katniss picked out a pink lace dress, with a very low neckline and straps made of plump, round pearls, so delicate they seemed like they would break with a tug.
Under the light, it looked both seductive and innocent.
Katniss's gaze wandered over the dress, blinking repeatedly.
This dress, even a girl like her found it too alluring.
Katniss started tearing at the hem of the dress. It looked thin and sheer, but tearing it wasn't that easy.
Her fingers turned red before she managed to rip a small part. Just as she was about to continue, the door opened.
Katniss thought it was Mira and quickly hid the dress behind her.
Maximilian walked in and saw Katniss acting like a thief, hiding something guiltily.
His dark eyes lifted, and he asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"
Oh, it's Maximilian.
Katniss breathed a sigh of relief, wait! It's Maximilian!
She suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
She smiled, took out the dress, and explained the situation.
Maximilian's eyes darkened slightly. He wheeled closer to Katniss, his long fingers hooking a strap, revealing the scanty nightgown.
"Are you going to wear this?"
Hearing this, Katniss quickly shook her head, explaining, "No, no, no, I just wanted to tear it a little."
As soon as she finished speaking, Maximilian tore a large hole in the dress, up to the chest area.
It looked even more enticing.
Maximilian looked up at her, and Katniss's eyes sparkled.
Maximilian's eyes narrowed slightly, his voice a bit hoarse, "Like this?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Katniss took it back, satisfied.
Then she stuffed it into the wardrobe.
Turning around, she saw Maximilian frowning, his gaze pointedly looking at the wardrobe.
Katniss felt innocent, "It's just to keep Mira from getting suspicious."
Maximilian's Adam's apple bobbed, he glanced at Katniss and said slowly, "I'm not that violent."
"I haven't tried, how would I know if you're violent or not."
As soon as she said it, Katniss regretted it.
She sneaked a glance at Maximilian, only to find him looking at her, his eyes slightly upturned, a smile at the corner of his mouth, and he said slowly, "Do you want to try?" "No, no, no."
Katniss waved her hands, she had the thought but not the courage.
Maximilian became serious, "You're still young, not suitable for these games."
Still need to be nurtured.
Katniss felt the more she explained, the more complicated it got, so she decisively ended the topic, pulling at the corners of her mouth, "Maximilian, I'm going to freshen up."noveldrama
Maximilian chuckled, watching her rush into the bathroom.

The moment the door closed, Katniss felt regret through the air.
Should she leave Earth for a while?
At that moment, a ringing interrupted Katniss.
It was a call from Cecilia.
Katniss answered, feeling resigned, "Cecilia."
Cecilia excitedly shouted on the other end, "Katniss, check the school forum! Haha, I prepared a big surprise for you."
Katniss's ear hurt, so she held the phone away, asking while checking the forum
"Cecilia, what did you do?"
As soon as she asked, Katniss understood.
A post had gone viral on the forum.
"Beautiful genius girl with a silver needle, mocking death's incompetence."
The post exaggeratedly detailed how Katniss pulled Caius back from death. Katniss couldn't help but smile.
"Hahaha." Cecilia burst into laughter again through the phone, "See? I just posted it ten minutes ago, and it's already the hottest topic."
"Katniss, you're a school celebrity now! You have to give me an autograph tomorrow!" Katniss couldn't help but laugh, "Thank you."
"No need to thank me! I just can't stand Dylan. You're my idol, underestimating you is underestimating me, Cecilia!"
"You'll definitely cure Ashley's dad! Make a name for yourself."
After returning, Cecilia had asked classmates about Katniss.
After understanding the situation, she was furious.
Using countless brain cells, Cecilia wrote this viral post.
Katniss casually browsed the comments section. Many supported her, and those who didn't know her, after learning she was Brent's student, also joined her camp.

Some even started a discussion group, debating who was better, Katniss or the renowned Dylan?
Besides that, there was also a poll.
Katniss rubbed her forehead and pursed her lips, wondering if modern college students were this idle.
She had been in the bathroom for a while. Katniss checked the time and told Cecilia, "Calm down, don't stay up late anymore! Otherwise, you'll be limping for at least two more months."
Hearing this, Cecilia calmed down a bit.
"I'll argue for another ten minutes, I'll curse those idiots to death. And don't forget my autograph tomorrow."
After hanging up, Katniss looked at herself in the mirror, silent for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled coldly.
With this post, someone would be restless.
When Katniss left the bathroom, Maximilian was already gone.
He must have gone to the study to work.
Katniss breathed a sigh of relief, glad he wasn't there, otherwise, she would have been
too embarrassed to face him.
She wondered how late he would work tonight.
Thinking about it, Katniss sent Maximilian a message reminding him to sleep early.
Maximilian quickly replied, "Okay, good night."
Katniss held her phone, looking at the "good night," her eyes sparkling.
That night, Katniss slept exceptionally well.
The next morning, she wasn't sure if Maximilian had come back to sleep.
After getting ready, she was running a bit late, so she took some breakfast Mira had prepared and headed to school.
On her way to the medical department, Katniss finished her breakfast. As she was putting the lunchbox into her canvas bag, she saw a pair of soft white shoes in her view.
Looking up, she saw Laura's face.
Laura's makeup was pure, her hair draped over her shoulders, she was much thinner than before, looking fragile.
There was a small black mole under her right eye, adding a touch of allure to her frailty.
At this moment, Laura's eyes were sinister, smiling as she looked at her.
