Chapter 24 Know Your Place
Kate’s eyesight was exceptional, and she clearly observed the maid clenching her fist. She smirked coldly. “It appears that you are quite dissatisfied, aren’t you?”
The maid looked up in a panic and hastily exclaimed, “Madam, I didn’t do anything!”
Despite her words, Holly was nearly consumed by anger.
What is her issue? Why won’t she let this go? Previously, she had always turned a blind eye to my actions, considering I am on Ruth’s side. Many times, she required me to relay messages.
With this in mind, Holly discreetly signaled to Kate.
However, Kate completely disregarded her, her tone light and airy as she said, “Nothing? Judging from your look, you were going to attack me.”
Holly’s expression immediately stiffened. When Kate spoke, she felt an intense, chilling gaze from her, filled with a strong sense of oppression and anger. Her entire body stiffened momentarily, and she stuttered, “Madam, how… how could that be possible? I wouldn’t dare…”
Kate smiled ambiguously, raised her hand to transfer the photo to her own phone, and then. deleted all other photos on Holly’s phone before lazily returning it to her, her voice laced with threats as she said, “If I catch you taking photos again.

“I wouldn’t dare, Madam, I truly wouldn’t dare!”
Holly apologised in a panic, respectfully taking the phone from Kate’s hand. Her body drenched in cold sweat.
Kate gave her a deep look, chuckled, and said, “You may leave.”
Holly hurriedly turned around, rushing in a panic, nearly colliding with the wall as she stumbled out of the living room.

Throughout the entire process, Eric remained silent, gazing at Kate with profound eyes, choosing

After setting it as the wallpaper, Kate handed the phone to Eric with a hopeful expression.
“Yeah.”
Eric responded nonchalantly, casting a deep glance at Kate and softly stating, “There’s an early meeting at the company, and Lucas will deliver the evening gown in the afternoon.

George was specifically tasked with managing the Summer Estate and following Kate.
“Understood.”
Kate smiled and replied, then rose to adjust Eric’s shirt and tie, earnestly reminding him, “Remember to eat well, and don’t overexert yourself before the wound heals.”
Eric paused for a moment, his gaze deepening. “Alright.”
As Eric’s car gradually drove away, Kate’s gaze turned cold. After breakfast, she dismissed all the servants, including George.
With only Kate remaining in the living room of the Summer Estate, Holly quietly pushed the door open and entered. She glanced at Kate, who was lounging lazily on the sofa with her eyes. closed, a flicker of jealousy and disgust crossing her eyes.
However, with a fake smile on her face, she approached Kate and attempted to sit on the sofa naturally, “Kate
Before Holly could finish her sentence, Kate abruptly opened her eyes, a chilling glare emanating from them, coupled with a sense of oppression. Holly was so frightened that she fell silent before completing her words.
Kate fixed her gaze on the spot where Holly had sat, straightened her posture, and uttered slowly, “Who gave you permission to sit down?”
Holly’s face paled as she quickly stood up, wearing a forced smile, and began to explain, “Kate, I…
Kate raised her chin in disdain and glared at Holly, speaking even more rudely, “Who gave you permission to call me Kate? Do you know your place? Do you think you’re worthy of trying to get close to me?”
