?Chapter 602:
On the other end, Dani’s voice was cool and direct.
“Juste back.”
Without hesitation, Lillianplied, leaving the scene as Katrinay sprawled on the pavement. An ambnce arrived shortly after to take her away.
Katrina had braced herself for retaliation, but even in her worst fears, she hadn’t imagined they’d go as far as attempted murder.
The doctor had said she needed to stay under observation for another day.
Just as Katrina turned off the lights and closed her eyes, a sound from the window jolted her awake.
Her heart raced in her chest.
She opened her eyes, barely catching sight of a cold gleam in the darkness. A sharp de wasing down in the moonlight.
All Katrina could do was squeeze her eyes shut.
“Seems like they’re desperate to silence her. She knows too much.”
Katrina’s eyes snapped open at the sound. To her relief, it wasn’t an attacker but Lillian.
In the pale light of the moon, Lillian was engaged in a fierce struggle with a bulky man, fighting with nothing but her bare hands.
Katrina gripped her head tightly, panic overwhelming her as she tried to scramble away from the corner. Fear consumed her—she couldn’t bear the thought of dying.
“Hey!”

The fighting suddenly stopped.
Trembling, Katrina slowly let go of her head and looked up to see Dani and Lillian standing in the doorway. Lillian stood with her arms crossed, her voice cold.
“Where do you think you’re crawling off to?”
Tears flowed down Katrina’s face as she looked up, desperation in her eyes. She crawled to Dani’s feet, her voice shaky.
“Someone’s trying to kill me!”
However, Dani’s expression was unreadable.
“Who?” she asked.
Katrina’s face contorted with emotion, and she hesitated.
“Why do they want to kill you?” Lillian’s question was sharp and probing.
Katrina’s heart tightened at the pressure of the question. The anxiety coursing through her became almost unbearable.
She released her grip on Dani’s shoe and stammered, “No one…”
Dani nodded, her voice cold.
“Katrina, people only get one life.
You won’t always be lucky enough to be saved. If you really want to die, I won’t stop you.”
Without another word, she turned and walked away.
Lillian followed closely behind her.
As the car sped down the road, she turned to Dani and asked, “Shouldn’t I stay with her? If they try again, taking her out would be so easy.”
Dani’s fingers tightened around the steering wheel, her face calm and focused as she drove.
“They won’t act tonight. After two failed attempts, they’ll rethink their approach. Besides, making Katrina feel like she’s constantly under threat is far more effective. If she feels untouchable when you’re around, she won’t spill anything.”
Soon enough, the car came to a stop at the Harper family residence, where Cedric was already waiting by the door.
