Branden protected Catherine domineeringly, making Korbin and Rachael dumbfounded.Korbin looked at Branden with hostility. He was suppressing his anger and about to reach its limits. He was about to explode in anger."No wonder this girl dared to treat us like this. So, you were supporting her."Branden seemed relaxed compared to Korbin.He had one of his hands in his pocket and stood beside Catherine casually."After Vicente passed away, Catherine did not have many relatives left. Isn't it normal for me to help her as her fiance? Why does this irritate you so much, Mr. Swann?"Catherine glanced at the man tiredly. Instantly, the man's cold gaze turned soft, and looked at her with care.He knew from Dr. Miracle that Catherine's body health had declined since she got injured. He felt sorry for her every time he saw her looking tired.He wanted to piss Korbin off but lost interest when he saw Catherine tired. All he wanted to do was to take Catherine home.The man bent down an
Korbin's resources were scrubbed and taken away immediately.They did not even have the time to see how they were replaced.Rachael was so anxious that she rushed home immediately after she knew it. She told everything to her parents."Dad, Mom, I did not expect the jinx would do this to us."The Langs were displeased to hear that, especially Donna.She sighed and said, "She is your daughter after all. She would not be that foolish even if she is dumb."It was an interesting comment."Mom, stop sighing. Think of something."Korbin's money and men were taken away. With her husband's perished, her wealthy life would end.The jinx hated her and would never let her off. Rachael knew this well.Enzo's expression turned stern upon seeing Rachael so anxious. He glared at her and reprimanded her."Why are you so anxious? Nothing serious has happened. I have taught you to be calm. Have you forgotten it?"After Rachael got scolded, she stopped whining."Dad, why don't you look for A
Ronin had just left when Liana suddenly came over.She stood in front of Catherine with her head up and chest straight, her gaze coldly looking at Catherine."Catherine, I need to talk to you!"Catherine lazily rested her head on the table, motionless.Ronin gave Liana a disdainful glance. He wondered why Catherine and Liana were so different even though they were obviously siblings.Liana and Catherine were naturally incomparable, as they could not be compared on the same level.But compared to Audrey, Liana was still far inferior.Obviously, they were all born to the same parents. Why were they so different?"Liana, can't you see that Catherine is resting? You are really stupid. Hurry up and stay wherever you should stay."Ronin's incessant chatter made Liana frown.She didn't want to get into it with Ronin, but he kept chattering, and Liana couldn't bear it.She tilted her head toward Ronin and gave him a fierce glare."Can you be a little cultured? Did I talk to you? Do
Audrey suspected something was wrong with her eyes when she saw the butler appear on the set.The butler bowed respectfully to Audrey. "Miss Audrey, Mrs. Swann wants to see you."Audrey froze momentarily, then stood up and looked at the butler with wide eyes and a face full of disbelief."My mom is here?"The butler nodded slightly, signaling Audrey."Please follow me!"Seeing this scene, the surrounding staff stopped their movements and focused on Audrey.They had long heard that Audrey had a profound background. Once she debuted, the play she starred in was famous, and her target partner was either a popular star or a top-level star. She had a promising future.They finally saw the truth today. Audrey was indeed a lady from a wealthy family, and even the butler from her family was so imposing.Audrey glanced at Kim standing aside, and Kim immediately followed.But the next second, Kim was stopped by the butler."I'm sorry, sir. Mrs. Swann only wants to see Miss Audrey!"U
Catherine glanced at her with a cold expression of disdain.Her wise eyes seemed to tell Audrey, "How can you fool me with your poor tricks?"Usually, as soon as Audrey returned, she would inevitably chatter incessantly and then collapse on the couch, screaming and complaining for a while.As soon as she entered the door today, she had a worried and preoccupied expression and then slowly approached Catherine, sizing her up several times.Catherine wasn't blind or stupid, so how could she not notice it?Audrey timidly approached and told Catherine about Rachael's visit to her this afternoon."Kathy, do you have any misunderstandings with our family? Why did Mom say that you have joined hands with outsiders to snatch our family's money?"Catherine was not surprised that Rachael went to Audrey about this matter.After all, it was possible for Rachael to do such a thing when she was desperate.Catherine looked at Audrey with a relaxed and leisurely expression. "According to her un
In the blink of an eye, it was exam time again.This test was a big deal for everyone.Even Bryan had been ordered to stay at home and hit the books. He couldn't even step outside.Ronin was feeling incredibly bored and decided to seek out Catherine. "Catherine, not going to school is no fun at all. It's so dull."To attend school, Ronin had delegated all the base matters and was now accompanying Catherine as she studied.On regular days, he could banter with Bryan at school and play games with David, even when Catherine wasn't around.But now, with everyone busy revising for the exams and making that final push, there wasn't even someone to banter with. He found himself incredibly bored.Catherine had her laptop on her lap. She was engrossed in studying the data Rodge had sent her. She was conducting three-dimensional simulation tests to assess missile accuracy.Unfortunately, Ronin was still chattering away nearby. It disrupted her peace.Suddenly, Catherine looked up with h
Catherine didn't even glance at the documents the kidnapper held. She had one request."I'll sign when I see her."Catherine stood at the entrance of the factory. The afternoon sun cast a glow upon her, which made it impossible to discern her expression or features.However, she exuded an intense aura that was hard to ignore.Upon hearing Catherine's demand, the scarred man sneered and squinted his eyes. He stared at Catherine with a malevolent look in his gaze."Kid, I've got the upper hand now. You're no one to negotiate with me."Come over here and sign this obediently. I'm giving you this opportunity because you've got some guts left. Don't think just because you're a girl, I can't handle you."The scarred man often enjoyed hunting in the mountains, but when he captured prey, he wouldn't immediately finish it off.Instead, he'd give the prey a glimmer of hope and let it escape. When the prey believed it had escaped, he'd recapture and kill it.He would make his prey experi
Catherine moved swiftly. The weapon that had been tightly held by the scarred man was suddenly in Catherine's hand.The scarred man was genuinely shocked this time. He instinctively examined his palm. He flipped it back and forth comically and ludicrously.Before he could see how Catherine managed to touch his hand, Catherine had already snatched the weapon away from him.He thought Catherine must not be ordinary.Her speed was beyond human capabilities.As the scarred man stared at Catherine, his pupils dilated. His eyes were filled with not just fear but also confusion and bewilderment.Catherine toyed with the scarred man's weapon in her hand for a moment.Then she sneered.It was just an outdated relic from the last century, and this man had the audacity to play with it. He was not even afraid of being ridiculed.Catherine suddenly pulled the trigger.The scarred man's eyes widened, and his face instantly turned pale.He had a hunch that his life was about to end at that
