Reborn of Kate by Isla Rainfield

Chapter 34 Scared of a Foil 

Lana shielded her face, nearly blinded by Kate. She never anticipated that in front of a crowd, on such a significant occasion, Kate would dare to strike her! 

“Kate!” 

Lana cried out, the burning sensation on her check serving as a reminder of the years of humiliation Kate had inflicted upon her. Gritting her teeth, she glared at Kate with intense hatred, raising her hand to retaliate. 

However, Kate acted swiftly. Just as Lana prepared to strike in anger, Kate decisively delivered a slap to the other side of her face. 

“Why are you shouting so loudly? I’m not deaf.” 

Kate’s lips curved into a taunting smile as she lazily and disdainfully regarded Lana, as if she had just disciplined a pet. 

Staggering from the dual blows, Lana was supported by two young men beside her. Fuming, she bellowed, “Let me have a go at her, I want to wipe that smug look off her face!” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

The onlookers exchanged glances, but none dared to intervene. 

They knew Kate all too well. 

She was the daughter of the Lowe Group and the wife of Eric! Eric was ruthless, and those who crossed him met a grim fate. Even if they had the courage, they wouldn’t dare to provoke Eric. 

Those who offended Eric likely met a mysterious demise. 

Observing the motionless crowd, Lana grew even more incensed. “Why are you all just standing there? Take action! Do you really believe Kate and Eric have a solid relationship? Ha, she’s just a pampered pet. Who knows, perhaps one day Eric will tire of her and cast her aside!” 

“She’s been married to Eric for three years, but has Eric ever publicly acknowledged her?” 

Lana sneered at Kate. “Furthermore, she has cut ties with the Lowes, and you all are still afraid of such a weakling?” 

Kate found Lana’s words somewhat amusing. 

The animosity between them was evident, and Kate had always bested Lana. However, in the past. three years, Kate had resided in Summer Estate, with Eric never publicly acknowledging her status, never appearing together in public. 

Considering Eric’s public persona, Lana’s conjecture held some merit. 

After all… would the eccentric Eric truly dote on such a delicate lady? Who would believe that! 

Moreover, the rumors circulating painted a picture of discord between Eric and Kate, leading 

1/2 

Lana to assume Eric held Kate in low regard. 

The bystanders were clearly seeking to align themselves with a powerful figure, so upon hearing. Lana’s words, their apprehensions lessened, and two men moved to restrain Kate. 

Gracefully evading, Kate took a step back, her gaze turning icy. Several others closed in, encircling Kate and Ruth. 

Ruth paled. She never imagined Kate would directly confront Lana! 

Lana had always been the influential figure she aspired to be associated with. 

However, due to her position as the financial officer at the Lowe Group’s headquarters, the gap. between her and Lana was too vast for her to bridge. 

Yet, she never expected to find herself in this confrontation at the banquet. 

“Kate, you’re acting rashly…” 

Ruth glanced at the people surrounding them, feeling a lump in her throat, and nervously said to Kate, “Why don’t you apologize? After all, you were the one who struck first…” 

Kate sneered coldly, gazing at Ruth with icy disdain. “Why should I apologize? She was the one who started with foul language first, so what’s wrong with me teaching her a lesson?” 

“Ruth, which side are you on?” 

Taken aback by Kate’s words, Ruth’s face turned pale. However, she gritted her teeth, stood in front of Kate, and spoke firmly. “Kate, I am definitely on your side.”
