Chapter 118
Katie’s patience had worn thin. “You’re just his bodyguard, so don’t act all high and mighty with me. As Howard’s fiancee, I suspect there are other women in his mansion. What’s wrong with me coming to take a look? It’s reasonable from both a moral and logical standpoint. If you’re sensible, you’ll let me in.”
The guards exchanged hesitant glances, their initial determination faltering. After all, they knew Katie’s noble status well and did not want to provoke her. If a fight broke out, they would not be able to handle the consequences.
Reluctantly, they loosened their stance, thinking that she could enter the front gate, but she would not be allowed to the third floor.
“Hmph!” Katie scoffed arrogantly, flipping her hair as she led her bodyguards inside.
“Quick, go notify Mr. Lawson that someone has broken in and we couldn’t stop her,” one of the bodyguards instructed with a grave expression as Katie entered.
Auntie Gloria, who was cleaning the mansion, was surprised to see the group of people and shouted, “Who are you? How dare you barge into someone’s home! Leave now, or I’ll call the police!”
“Do I need to report to anyone that I’m entering my fiance’s house?” Katie frowned and shot a disdainful glance at Auntie Gloria. “Don’t mind her. Search the place thoroughly until you find Hannah!”
“Hey, hey, hey! What’s wrong with you?” Auntie Gloria put down her cleaning cloth and rushed to confront the bodyguards. “How can you invade a private residence and search through someone else’s home without permission!”
“I’ll search as I see fit,” Katie sneered, rolling her eyes at Auntie Gloria before turning to the bodyguards behind her. “Why are you all just standing there? Are you waiting for me to conduct the search personally?”
The hesitant bodyguards quickly dispersed as Katie confidently strode over and sat on the sofa. “Hey! Do you really think you have a say here? So what if you’re the Upton family’s heiress? You can’t compare yourself to Ms. Sheena!” Auntie Gloria fumed, pointing at Katie.
Katie’s temper flared up at Auntie Gloria’s words, and she kicked over a trash bin.
The freshly cleaned floor was instantly littered with trash.
Auntie Gloria trembled with anger.
With her arms crossed, Katie looked smugly at her. “See? How else can I live up to the vile image you have of me if I don’t stir up some trouble?”
Angus came down from upstairs and whispered to Katie, “Miss, we’ve searched and found nothing on the first and second floors. However, we’ve noticed many bodyguards on the third floor, which seems suspicious.”
“Then search the third floor!”
Katie stood up and personally led the group of bodyguards toward the third floor.
several bodyguards in suits blocked her path on the staircase to the third floor, their voices cold as the ushered het away.
” Upton, you’re not allowed to enter. Mr. Lawson has specifically instructed that no one is allowed on the third floor except for himself. We kindly ask you to leave.”
” be the lady of the house soon. How dare you stop me!” Katie glared at him, attempting to bypass im and continue forward.
However, the bodyguard extended his hand to stop her. “Apologies, Ms. Upton. Mr. Lawson has made it clear that no one is allowed access without his orders. That includes you. Please cooperate with our work.”

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
