Chapter 257 You Wish to Die
Lana <b>stood </b>amidst a whirlwind of vexation, hands clenched with a fierce determination. Her gaze bore into <b>Kate</b>, brimming with a tempest of animosity and resentment, yet she strived to temper these tumultuous emotions.
Not <b>now</b>, she murmured to herself bitterly, swallowing the bitter pill <i>of </i>restraint. The moment was not <i>ripe </i>for a confrontation with Kate.
Feeling deeply wronged, Lana turned away with a heavy heart. She could scarcely endure another nce 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 <b>begin </b>my tenure here?
Even as Sadler <b>Group </b>faced the spectre of liquidation Lana’s HN Studio flourished. <b>How </b>was it that Kate seemed to sail through life, forever buoyed by the favour of influential patrons?This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.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 <b>and </b>ire into submission. She retrieved aden 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 eximed, feigning a loss of control over the tray. The scalding soup cascaded directly towards Kate!
“Take heed!”
Abigail cried out in rm, 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 sttered upon Abigail’s arm, instantly suffusing it with crimson and eliciting a sharp intake of breath in pain.

causing a cry of agony <b>to </b>escape her lips, “AHHHHHH!
Witnessing <b>Lana’s </b>plight<b>, </b>Abigail’s countenance turned frosty, Swiftly, without a moment’s <b>pause</b>, she raised her hand and delivered a resounding <b>p </b>across Lana’s face!
A <b>smack </b>rang throughout the parlour.
The blow came sharp and sudden.
Kate, still reeling from the earlier shock, <b>had </b>not regiuned herposure when <b>Abigail </b>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 contemting tearing her apart limb from limb.
Lana, still bewildered, held her face <b>in </b>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 p to <b>Lana’s </b>check and. a forceful grasp of her <b>hair</b><b>.</b>
“Release me!
Kate intervened decisively, seizing Lana’s hair and wrenching her away <b>from </b>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, <b>Lana </b>cried out, her eyes filled with fear as she stared up at Kate.
She could notprehend why Kate’s gaze held such terror for her. In her disoriented state, she even momentarily mistook Kate for Eric!
