Chapter 359
Katherine's movements were lightning-fast, and the two men she faced were no match for her. Before
the fight even began, it was already over.
Ignoring the two men sprawled on the floor, she yanked at the door handle which wouldn't budge. She
lifted her foot in frustration and kicked the door. In no time, the sturdy door frame buckled, and the door
finally opened.
"Noah!" she called out while hurrying into the room. What she saw made her heart race; Noah's tiny
form was curled up in the corner of the large, empty bed with her head buried between her knees,
terrified.
"Noah, Mommy's here," she said as gently as possible; she didn't want her previous anger to frighten
her.
The little girl, who was originally huddled up, raised her head in disbelief when she heard the familiar
voice, her round eyes turning red the moment she saw her. "Mom... have you come to pick me up?"
She spoke in a hoarse voice, possibly from all the crying she had done.
It made Katherine's heart throb as if an invisible hand was clutching at it. She quickly nodded and
moved forward to gently embrace the girl in her arms while resting her chin on Noah's shoulder. "Yes,
I'm here to pick you up. Let's go home."
Upon hearing that, the little girl lifted her hands and wrapped them around Katherine's neck. She
couldn't help but quiver slightly as her tiny, cold body sought warmth in her embrace.
"Mom, you've finally come for me. I don't like it here. No one here is nice. Two old ladies are always
mean to me, and they even locked me up. I tried to escape, but I couldn't. I want to go home; I want to

be with you and Dad..."
As the little girl spoke in a soft, tender voice, Katherine's heart broke while her anger boiled. She
squeezed her daughter's hand tighter and leaned down to give her a comforting kiss on the cheek.
"Okay. Daddy's downstairs. We'll go home together."
When Katherine appeared downstairs with the little girl in their arms, Joaquin quickly stepped forward,
caressing Noah's face while examining her closely. "Noah, are you okay?"
Noah shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes as she saw him. "Dad, I miss you. I want to go
home..."
Hearing this, Joaquin's heart ached with each beat. He parted his thin lips and said in a deep voice,
"Okay, let's go home." His voice was full of tenderness and compassion.
Meanwhile, both Elizabeth and Hera were surprised by the scene.
Hera finally stopped coughing, but her throat still felt like it was burning. Her voice was shrill as she
questioned, "How is that possible?! How did you—"
Katherine only replied coldly, "Are you referring to the two upstairs? You should call an ambulance.
One broke his arm, and the other is unconscious."
Though she spoke as if that was no big deal, Hera was extremely shocked upon hearing Katherine's
words.
The scream from just now was real! I thought I was hallucinating earlier.
Next to her, Elizabeth's expression also darkened, for she didn't expect this woman to be so skilled in
martial arts.
The Levisay family had trained those brawlers for many years, yet she handled them effortlessly and
even retreated unscathed; it was simply beyond anyone's expectations.
It appeared that this woman was indeed a cut above the rest, with life-saving medical skills and the
ability to transform herself into the CEO of W Co. easily, not to mention her impressive level of agility.
However, it was fortunate that she did not underestimate her enemies this time and had made proper
arrangements.
"Hmph, do you think that knowing some martial arts will allow you to leave the Levisay Family with this
wild child unscathed? Dream on!" she shouted harshly and clapped her hands twice.
In a flash, a dozen burly men dressed identically to the ones Katherine met earlier burst into the living
room and surrounded them, trapping everyone inside.
"Let me tell you, the reason I've called you here today is not to let you leave so easily! Not only these
men, but I also have backup waiting outside the Levisay Residence. This place is fully surrounded by
my men. You can only leave if I give the word!"
At the sight of this and Elizabeth's haughty demeanor, Katherine narrowed her eyes. "Do you plan on
keeping us captive forever?"
Elizabeth sneered, looking down her nose at them. "Keep you captive? That's not my intention! If you
want to take your leave, you must agree to my terms. This illegitimate child in your arms will be
recognized as Levisay Family's heir as long as you're willing to make a permanent partnership between
W Co. and Levisay Group. This is your last chance!"
At the mention of an illegitimate child, Joaquin's blood boiled.

He pursed his thin lips while his hands balled into fists, his muscles bulging. Just as he was about to
strike back, Katherine laughed. "What if I don't agree?"
Elizabeth's wrinkled face showed no mercy or kindness; she scoffed and tapped her cane against the
ground. "If you disagree, don't blame us for not showing mercy. You may go if you like, but the child
must stay. She will still be here when you finally come to your senses."
When Hera finally could breathe again, she directed her anger at Katherine and exploded.
Her expression was distorted, and she said in a voice full of malice and sarcasm, "That's right! Also, let
me tell you that the Levisay Family will no longer acknowledge the identity of this b*stard. With even
her own father's identity unknown, she has no right to appear in our family. If you make us wait any
longer, not only will the Levisay Family disown her, but we will also spread all the scandals you've been
involved in!"
At this point, Joaquin's eyes were as cold as frost, and they were on the verge of freezing solid.
However, Katherine still wore a smile on her face as if she didn't care about the woman's words at all.
"Scandals? Why don't you tell me what scandals I've been involved in?"
"How dare you still have the nerve to ask us? Don't you know how this child came to be? Do you think
no one knows about your chaotic private life in Fontan? You slept with so many men that you don't
even know who you've slept with! Perhaps that's why you don't even know who the father of this child
is!"
"How can there be a woman as shameless as you in this world? Moreover, you even dared to give birth
to this b*stard! Disgusting! The Levisays have always been pure and clean. You should be grateful that
we allowed a woman like you to marry into our family, and we've even given the green light for this
b*stard to step into our home! However, you're acting so grandiosely in front of us. Do you think the
child in your arms is a pot of gold? Let me tell you this—as long as we spread the word of your
scandals, you, along with this b*stard, won't have an easy life in Hovington."
