Catherine had learned about Joseph's profile. She only glanced at it, but she had got a photographic memory.Joseph had learned contortion skills since he was a kid, so he could shrink into a small form.This information was confidential. Only the seniors of the organization could access it. Hence, it was thanks to his contortion skills that Joseph could successfully acquire the chip and take it out of the base. When Joseph knew someone had broken in, he realized he was in trouble. He chose to hide somewhere in the first place. Yet, never did he expect that Catherine would come on her own.If it were other people who came, he might go all out and put up a desperate fight. After all, since he betrayed the organization, he would die even if he went back. He could still stand a chance of surviving if he fought it out here. However, when he knew that Catherine came by herself, he stopped struggling and surrendered obediently. No one could get away from Catherine's hunt. B
In the study of the Duncans, at night. Paxton passed the newly acquired materials to the man sitting in the seat of honor and said, "Mr. Duncan, this is what you want."Branden got up from the chair lazily and reached out his hand to take the materials. He glanced at the materials and gave a cold smile on his handsome face."Is this the result of your investigation?" Branden asked.Paxton looked at the materials and instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Then, he knelt on the ground at once."Mr. Duncan, I'm sorry for my incompetence!"The Duncans' information network, which was highly praised by all the people in Casier, turned out to fail over a girl repeatedly. This was so ridiculous!Branden displayed such a suffocatingly masterful demeanor."What about the other one? No information either?" Branden asked in his cold voice.Upon hearing Branden's voice, Paxton did not dare to hesitate anymore. Initially, because Paxton failed to get the information about Catherine, Branden
Korbin's reaction was just what Liana wanted. She had been unhappy about Korbin's indulgence of Catherine. Although Liana's mother told her it was a stall tactic, she still felt unhappy. Now, she just wanted to find fault with Catherine so that her dad could punish Catherine. This way, she would feel better.She thought about it and looked askance at Catherine."Daddy, you know what? Last night, someone sneaked out of home. I really wonder what she did. I thought a country girl would behave well. Unexpectedly, she turns out to be so untamed. Our family is not a small family. If she was photographed by some ill-intentioned journalists, who knows what kind of scandal our family would be involved in? "By then, we would be really in big trouble!"After saying that, Liana darted an angry look at Catherine to pour out her disgruntlement.However, Catherine did not panic at all. Instead, she stood in situ composedly, her hands deep in her pockets. She looked straight ahead coldly as
Liana's words just put Audrey in a very awkward situation. Audrey was sitting in situ on pins and needles. With one glance, Catherine recognized what Audrey was thinking. After all, Audrey was a weak person. Even though she was bullied like this, she could still swallow the insult despite her rage.Catherine put her hands into her pockets and looked coldly at Liana. Her seemingly composed and yet domineering demeanor just rendered the atmosphere even cooler. Three seconds later, she said in an aloof voice, "Even though she has been expelled from the Swanns, so what? She still has the blood of the Swanns in her body. And she is the eldest daughter of the Swanns."The rich always stressed seniority. Back then, Audrey was expelled from the Swanns because of a man. It was a total disgrace to the Swanns. However, she was the eldest daughter of the Swanns, after all. Otherwise, Korbin would not let her enter their home.Faced with the whole family's gaze, Korbin had to be even-hande
Audrey dragged Catherine to the room where Vicente's photo was. In this room, not only was Vicente's photo placed here, but also those of other ancestors of the Swanns were kept in this room.Catherine stood aside and watched indifferently as Audrey went forward and bowed to Vicente's photo with great reverence. Catherine found it a bit difficult to see through Audrey's mind. The way she saw it, Audrey was an unfavored daughter of the Swanns. Supposedly, Audrey should hate or even resent the Swanns, but Catherine did not find that Audrey thought this way.After lighting a candle for Vicente, Audrey turned around and looked at Catherine. There was a faint smile in Audrey's composed eyes. Her eyes were quite warm."Catherine, actually, sometimes, I sort of envy you!" Audrey said. Catherine slowly raised her head with indifference and alienation in her eyes. There was no trace of family affection in her big bright eyes. She asked, "Why do you envy me? Because I am regarded as the b
Catherine had pushed open the door and gone inside. She paid no heed to Audrey's astonishment. Catherine's countenance did not change a bit at all. Catherine designed the study's door lock when she was twelve years old. Even Vicente's iris was also registered by her. It was not surprising that she could open the door. Watching Catherine swagger inside, Audrey, who had been curious about the study for a long time, was also intrigued.Due to Vicente's previous order, she did not dare to enter the room. She hovered at the door and hesitated for a long time, making constant mental struggles. Catherine was in the room for a while. When she noticed that Audrey was still standing at the door, she knitted her brows in confusion. "Why don't you come in?"A trace of embarrassment showed on Audrey's face. She said carefully, "Grandpa said without his order, no one was allowed to enter this study!"Catherine did not expect Audrey to say that!Why would she obey Vicente's order so sub
Rachael stared at her daughter's angry face. Liana looked similar in appearance to the young version of Rachael, which just reminded Rachael of her past all at once. Rachael could not help giving a smile. "You just can't keep composure. Do you remember what I taught you before? I asked you to keep your eyes open and observe more.""Can't you see that your daddy is deliberately partial to that bane? Anyway, she is the nominal heiress of the Swanns. It won't do us any good if we fall out with her. However, as long as we put up with her for three months, the Swanns' assets will come back to us. By then, you won't need to do anything. Your daddy will give her a hard time!"Due to Rachael's words, Liana finally had a faint smile on her initially unhappy face. She thought about it and then looked at Rachael complacently. "Mommy, you're right. But I'll be able to have my revenge more or less in less than three months. Next Monday, Catherine will go to school. By then, she will know what I
"Kathy, you know what..."Since they left the study, Audrey had been following Catherine, babbling on and on. Mainly, she kept calling Catherine Kathy. Audrey's nagging just pissed Catherine off. Catherine turned around and pressed her hand against the wall to fix Audrey in the corner.Audrey and Catherine were sisters, but Audrey was about four inches shorter than the latter. Thus, Catherine had to lower her head when she looked at Audrey. Catherine slightly knitted her brows, showing two faint wrinkles on her face. She darted a cold glance at Audrey and asked sternly, "What did you call me?"Somehow, Audrey suddenly felt that Catherine looked so masterful and intimidating. She couldn't help shuddering all over in fear. She raised her head to look at Catherine gingerly and said discreetly, "I called you Kathy."Instantly, Catherine's brows were heavily furrowed. She gazed at Audrey impatiently. "Don't call me that way!" Catherine snapped. "Why? Kathy..." Audrey subconsci
