Chapter 258 Consequences of Her Actions
“Are you unharmed?”
In a twilight–lit chamber, Kate, unmindful of Lana still seated on the ground, turned to Abigail, her heart not anticipating Abigail’s swift response as she shielded Kate from Lana’s flung soup, leaving her arm branded by a crimson mark of distress.
The sight of Kate’s worry brought a small curl to Abigail’s lips. “It is nothing but a small scratch.”
Observing Abigail’s taut countenance, Kate’s brow knitted with resolve. “Let us make haste to the infirmary.”
Abigail pursed her lips ruefully. “One extends an invitation for repast, yet finds oneself bound for the infirmary before dining. Can we eat first?”
Witnessing Abigail’s nonchalance attitude, a wintry chill crossed Kate’s visage. “Which one is more impertant–our meal or your wounded arm?”
Abigail chuckled softly, her lips curling with mirth. “Very well, very well, to the infirmary we shall proceed. But before that…
Abigail’s gaze fell suddenly upon Lana, quaking upon the floor, her mien a veil of unyielding determination. “This matter must first be addressed.”
The tumult in the chamber had summoned the supervisor, whose countenance paled at Lana’s eruption.
“Lana, what tumult is this?” The supervisor cried out, then hastened to beg forgiveness from Abigail and Kate. “Forgive us, honoured guests. This wretch is new to our fold. We shall cover your medical expenses, deeply apologetic.”
Even as the supervisor proffered apology, a stinging blow landed on Lana’s cheek. “You are dismissed! Our humble establishment cannot house one with your attitude!”
From Lana’s initial interview, doubts had clouded the supervisor’s mind, knowing her former stature as heir to the Sadler Group. How could one accustomed to such grandeur adjust to the role of a server?
Despite reservations, Lana was hired at the behest of the magnate, albeit reluctantly.
Such an inept server marred their establishment’s reputation.
What was the magnate thinking?
Lana, struck once more, felt her mind whirl, teetering on the edge of madness.
She glared fiercely at Kate, bellowing. “Kate! This is all your fault, you petty wretch! Look at what you’ve done to me! Are enjoying this spectacle?”
Clutching her fists tightly, Lana seethed with a longing to assail Kate. Yet, Kate’s aura proved too

Lest she be the one to suffer!
“How shameless! Blaming all on Kate? Incompetent and witless, yet faulting others for their eminence) How risiblel
Abigail listened intently to Lana’s impassioned words, her response swill and cutting. The lolty heiress, fallen into such depths today, has reaped the harvest of her own making!”
“No need to waste words on her,” Kate interjected calmly, her gaze icy as she addressed Lana, “Ric had warned you before, but you chose not to heed it. Now, whatever ensues is of your own making!
Leaving those words hanging in the air, Kate promptly guided Abigail towards the exit, her manner decisive.
“Lextend my sincere apologies to our esteemed guests the supervisor hastened to add, following Kate closely, bowing deeply in apology, “Today’s meal is complimentary, and we will cover all medical expenses for the young lady.”
“Mm, Kate responded coolly, before escorting Abigail to the back seat of the car and taking the driver’s seat herself, steering towards the hospital without delay.
As they departed, several more figures emerged from the restaurant, slipping into cars that discrerily followed. Concurrently, news of the altercation swiftly reached Erie’s ears.
