Chapter 19


    Kate swiftly drew out the dagger, shouting as she pressed it against her wrist. “Stop? If you don’t let me


    in, I’est toy wrist right now!


    The cornrise on among the brawling bodyguards hatted as they turned the attention to her. Anges was


    rmed by her action, beads of sweet forming on his forehead, and he persuaded,


    1. ss. please don’t do this. You can’t harm yourself over this matter. It’s not worth it Think about and


    Madam Upton.


    As you all are aware, I’m the beloved daughter of Svelton’s Upton family. If I get hurt, guess


    so the Upton family will me? Are you willing to pay the dire consequences


    Katie was certain her identity would intimidate the bodyguards. Then, she signaled to Ang and coldly


    added, “If you don’t want to face the consequences, step aside.”


    “Ms. Upton, is this necessary?” The head bodyguard hesitated and suggested, “How about we


    compromise? You leave with your people, and I’ll pretend you never came. How does that sound?”


    “I don’t think so! My mind is set,” Katie replied, casually tossing the dagger aside.


    As the bodyguards on the third floor were fixated on Katie, Angus and his team swiftly subdued them.


    What had been a bnced standoff swiftly turned into Katie’s men gaining an absolute upper hand.


    “Ms. Upton, I sincerely wanted to reason with you, yet you resort to such petty tactics!”


    “What do you mean by ‘petty‘? I call this being strategic!” Katie smirked. With a wave of her hand, she


    motioned for her guards to step aside.


    Suddenly, a man’s angry voice sounded.


    “Well, well, well. What a clever strategy.” Howard walked up the stairs and snorted. When he looked at


    Katie, his eyes were filled with apparent disgust. Then, he added, “Ms. Upton, please leave my


    mansion immediately. There’s no room here for your antics.”


    Katie suddenly turned around, feeling guilty. “It’s not what you think, Howard. Let me exin..


    “What’s there to exin? Why did you lead a group of people to break into my house? And you even


    bullied my staff?”


    Howard cast a disgusted nce at her. “I don’t want to see irrelevant people in my house. If you don’t


    leave, I’ll have you escorted out.”


    “Howard! Are you actually saying that I’m irrelevant?” Katie stamped her foot in frustration, shouting,


    “I’m your future wife! Why are you treating me like this? I followed you from Svelton to Farlem, and


    you’re not moved in the slightest?”


    She continued, “You know you’re engaged to me, and you know I’d get jealous, yet you treat that bitch


    Sheena so well! Youpletely ignore me! You refuse to see me, even going as far as having lunch


    with her in the office! What do I have to do for you to ept me? Do I need to rip my heart out for you?!


    Even now, you’re still keeping other women in this mansion!


    Howard, do you even care about me?”


    Tears welled up in Katie’s eyes, and she lunged forward.


    Howard swiftly evaded her, warning, “Please, show some self–restraint.‘


    “Self–restraint? Have you forgotten that I am yourwful fiancee? It’s perfectly reasonable for me to be


    in your house! What’s wrong with wanting to embrace my fiance?!” Katie was uming, emphasizing her


    status repeatedly.

    Howard’s face visibly darkened, and he said, “It seems you’ve forgotten how we got engaged


    the first ce. If you insist on dwelling on these matters, I don’t mind reminding you.”
