Rebirth Into My Second Chance novel Chapter 231

Then, out of nowhere, Max nipped at the palm of my hand and pulled me in closer. "Sleep," he murmured.

With not much choice left, I gave in to sleep.

By the break of dawn, Max had vanished, and my room was locked tight.

Sitting up in bed, I gazed out at the sky, feeling a tad helpless. That's when Helen knocked and announced, "Ms. Claire, Miss Kate has come to visit."

I spun around, surprised. Max, always a mix of sharp words and a soft heart.

Kate stood at the doorway, eyeing my 'cage' with disdain. "Doesn't seem like you're any better off than I am."

I shrugged, turning away. "At least you have your freedom."

Kate crossed her arms and leaned against the doorframe with a scoff. "Out with it. Why am I here? You don't seem like you're in the mood for jokes."

"I just wanted someone to humiliate, to keep the loneliness at bay," I replied with a smirk.

Kate's temper flared instantly. "What's that supposed to mean?"

I glanced around at the servants, trying to spot if any were Richard's spies.

But they all seemed unfazed, except for Helen, who frowned. "Ms. Claire, didn't you invite Miss Kate to help?"

I raised an eyebrow. "What help could she possibly offer? No, I wanted her here for my entertainment. Helen, let her in. I'm way too bored, I need some rivals for entertainment."

Helen sighed, reluctantly unlocking the door, but Kate refused to step inside. "Why should I entertain you?"

"Because of your little kidnapping stunt. I have enough evidence to send you to jail," I threatened effectively, prompting Kate to reluctantly enter as the servants nudged her in.

Then, turning to Helen, I said, "Helen, fetch some ice cubes. It's rather warm in here, and I reckon the air conditioning might not be cool enough for Kate. She likes munching on ice cubes."
