Eleanor stepped out of the castle, her gaze traveling past the iron gate to a scene of Scott and Katharine locked in fierce combat.
When Caleb returned, he informed Eleanor about Robin's sister, Katharine, describing her as a fierce fighter. Initially, Eleanor was skeptical and didn't fully believe him.
However, when she witnessed it firsthand, she was genuinely shocked. Even someone as large as Scott was struggling to defend himself against Katharine, who had him pinned down.
"Ms. Spencer."
A gentle voice came from beyond the railing, causing Katharine's tightly clenched hands to slowly unclench.
She straightened up, turned around, and looked at Eleanor standing in the iron gate.
"Are you Eleanor?"
"Yeah."
The sight of Eleanor standing in the sunlight, nodding slightly, left Katharine momentarily stunned.
How could she harm such a vibrant person? But she didn't want to lose her mother either.
Katharine hesitated for a few seconds, then walked towards Eleanor, only to be blocked by Scott.
"Back off from Mrs. Laurence, or we're going to have a problem."
He had been treating Katharine with kid gloves, because he didn't hit women. But if she dared to harm Mrs. Laurence, he wouldn't show any mercy.
Katharine glanced at Scott, clearly underestimating him, and instead, her attention was fixed on Eleanor through the sturdy iron bars.
"Mrs. Laurence, would you mind stepping outside? I'd like to have a conversation," she said.
"No, thank you," Eleanor firmly rejected the offer.
"I know why you're here. We can talk right here," Eleanor stated, refusing to be lured outside, sensing Katharine's intentions of kidnapping her.
Startled by Eleanor's readiness, Katharine realized her plan might have been anticipated, and Eleanor was on guard.
