Chapter 507
507:
“You just burst in here and tried to kick Christina. How is that not wrong?” Bethel asked, her gaze fixed on Katie, disappointment clear and unmistakable. If only the Dawson family had just one truly capable descendant, she wouldn’t be forced to deal with this endless drama at her advanced age.
“She absolutely deserved it! She set me up!” Katie snapped back, her voice laced with bitterness.
“That’s utterly impossible! Christina has always been such a sensible and well-behaved young woman. She would never, ever do something like that,” Bethel declared, her trust in Christina unwavering and absolute.
Christina offered Katie a small, meaningful smile. “Miss Dawson, you need actual proof to back up those claims. Do you have any solid evidence that I sabotaged your speech?”
Katie curled her lips into a confident, almost triumphant sneer. “Of course I do! The computer you used to post that video has to be somewhere in this room. And let me tell you, once I find it, you are going to be in deep, serious trouble!”
“You can’t search this room!” Christina stepped forward, deliberately blocking Katie’s path.
Katie’s lips curled into a nasty smirk. “What, scared I might actually find your laptop and the damned evidence you schemed against me?”
Christina remained perfectly calm, a cool mask on her face. “Not at all. Tell me, if you can’t find anything to back your claims, what are you going to do?”
“I’ll slap myself ten times,” Katie stated coldly, her eyes locked on Christina’s with an intense stare. “But if I find it, then you’ll have to slap yourself ten times and do whatever I tell you.”
“Deal,” Christina said, a simple gesture of her open hand inviting Katie to continue. “Go on then.”
Katie let out a dismissive snort and immediately started tearing through the hospital room like a whirlwind. She ripped through every single drawer, every cabinet, even the bathroom, but came up completely empty-handed. No laptop. Not even the slightest trace of one.
Katie stood utterly bewildered. How could it not be here?

“I told you it wasn’t me, didn’t I?” Christina said, a triumphant smile now gracing her lips. “Now, time to keep your end of the deal.”
Katie’s face flushed crimson with rage, and she screamed at Christina, “You must’ve hidden the damn laptop somewhere!”
“You just searched every inch of this entire room,” Christina shot back, her voice laced with cutting sarcasm. “So, where exactly would I even hide it?”
“I don’t know! But you did!” Katie snapped, her voice tight with frustration, before she abruptly spun on her heel to storm out.
“Hold up,” Christina’s voice cut in, sharp and commanding. “You haven’t struck yourself yet, have you?”
“You’ve kept the laptop away! Why should I slap myself then?” Katie snapped, her face twisted into a stormy, defiant mask. “Out of my way!” She glared at Christina, her eyes blazing with pure, venomous spite.
“A deal’s a deal. If you’re going to back out now, don’t blame me for getting a little rough,” Christina said, her eyes narrowing into dangerous, sharp slits.
Katie scoffed, a derisive sound escaping her lips. “Oh please. Let’s see what you’ve got then, huh?”
