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and bewilderment.Catherine toyed with the scarred man's weapon in her hand for a moment.Then she sneered.It was just an outdated relic from the last century, and this man had the audacity to play with it.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
Audrey was so shocked when she saw the kidnappers below, who were lying in all sorts of postures and occasionally screaming in pain, that her eyes were almost popping out of her sockets.She had intended to pull Catherine to watch it together but found that Catherine had already headed toward the kidnappers.Worried that Catherine might encounter any mishap, Audrey quickly caught up with her."Be careful, Kathy!"Catherine didn't pay attention to Audrey babbling behind her. Her gaze accurately fell on the table ahead.The papers on the table were exactly the ones the kidnappers used to threaten Audrey into signing.Catherine casually picked up the document and glanced at it. When she saw the huge title on the document cover, a smug smile appeared in her eyes.Seeing her expression so weird, Audrey felt really strange."Kathy, what do you have in your hand?"Catherine casually waved her hand and smoothly placed the document into Audrey's hands. She then nodded and gestured for
At Casier Hospital.The car hadn't even come to a halt when the man impatiently pushed the door open and got out of the car quickly.As soon as he got off, he immediately stretched his legs and strode toward the hospital.Hurriedly, Paxton got out of the passenger seat and followed closely behind.Triston also followed them as he happened to be hanging out with Branden today.Ten minutes ago, Branden got a call from Audrey.During the phone call, Audrey informed him that Catherine had been injured and was in the hospital.Branden immediately left behind the negotiation with the oil prince who had traveled from the Middle Estria and hurried to the hospital.Everyone was on edge right now, not knowing the actual condition of Catherine.On the phone, Audrey was crying and couldn't speak properly. She just kept emphasizing for Branden to come quickly.Branden didn't say anything but just got up and left.If something were to happen to Catherine, he might probably overthrow the e
When Catherine walked out of the treatment room after the wound stitching was done, a few people waiting outside immediately surrounded her.Leading the way was Branden, who gently avoided the wound on Catherine's arm and showed great concern on his face."Are you alright?"Catherine didn't worry too much about such a minor injury and calmly shook her head in response.Standing aside, Triston was more concerned with Audrey, whose eyes were swollen from crying."Weren't you shooting on set today? Why are you hanging out with Catherine now? Did you get hurt?" he asked.Faced with Triston's concern, Audrey didn't know how to answer him and could only keep shaking her head.Triston got so mad at her that he was about to have internal injuries. "This girl never speaks her mind in an emergency and always plays dumb with me, which is quite interesting," he thought."Did you hurt your tongue and can't talk now?"Audrey didn't know how to explain this situation to Triston.She didn't
At the Swanns'.Upon hearing the urgent doorbell, the servants quickly went to open the door.After opening the door, they finally saw who it was, but before they could even say hello, the visitor pushed them aside.Audrey angrily entered the living room and happened to run into Rachael face-to-face.When Rachael saw Audrey's angry appearance, her face darkened immediately."What's with that look? Are you treating me like an enemy?"This is the Swanns'. You don't have the right to throw a tantrum here!"Audrey was now filled with anger and had nowhere to vent. The only thing she lamented was that her grandfather passed away early, leaving no one to help her uphold justice.If her grandpa were there right now, her dad would have been kicked out of the house long ago.Audrey coldly stared at Rachael without the former respect from before. There was only resentment in her eyes now."Where is Korbin?"Where is he? I need to see him!"Her angry tone shook Rachael up."This is n
Korbin knew it in his heart, but he wasn't the least bit afraid of the two girls.He frowned and spoke in a low, menacing voice."Why does this sound so harsh? Don't want to come here? No one invited you. The entrance is over there, so get lost!"Seeing her dad still holding onto such an attitude till now, Audrey felt even more sorrow in her heart.She couldn't hold back anymore and loudly questioned Korbin."So, you're admitting it was all your doing, right?"Korbin glanced coldly at Audrey. "Admit what?"You may throw your tantrum elsewhere, but this is not the place for you to go nuts!""Hmph..." Catherine sneered on the side silently, saying inwardly, "This couple is truly a perfect match. Even their lines are almost the same."She sarcastically remarked, "Some people have the audacity to do things but lack the courage to admit it, huh!"This sentence instantly angered Korbin."What do I have to be afraid to admit?"Could I be afraid of those two little girls?" he said
Audrey's leaving made the Swanns' living room much quieter.Facing Catherine, Rachael was even more rude. In her eyes, Catherine was nothing but a complete troublemaker."You jinx, why don't you just leave? What on earth do you want?"Hearing the noise, Catherine slowly sat up, her sharp gaze shooting straight at Rachael's face."I will leave, but make sure you pay your price!"Upon hearing this, Rachael looked at her suspiciously and felt that something was off. Catherine's expression gave her a very bad premonition."What nonsense are you talking about? Is there any unfinished business between us? Just get lost now!""Hmph..." Catherine let out a cold, contemptuous laugh with a chillingly indifferent expression."Kidnapping, drugging, violent threats..." She suddenly looked up and stared directly at Korbin with a cold and terrifyingly sharp gaze, exuding an overwhelming sense of power.When Korbin was glanced at by her, his heart involuntarily skipped a beat, leaving him mom
Rachael was so shocked that her eyes nearly popped out. Her lips quivered as she complained, "What did you say? Is Catherine a shareholder in your company? Is she your top-level advisor?"Are you telling me to rely on this girl to take down the Swann Corporation?"Pete nodded solemnly. He looked at Rachael with a stern expression that made it clear he wasn't joking."Mrs. Swann, let me be clear with my professionalism. To achieve the least amount of loss in this collaboration, we need Miss Catherine and no one else."Rachael laughed in anger. "Pete, do you even know who this girl is?"Pete was also perplexed. Seeing Catherine sitting next to Rachael, he thought they might know each other.If they did, Rachael hadn't needed to approach him in the first place.Before Rachael could respond, Catherine casually spoke up.Catherine said, "Pete, it's quite a coincidence. I inherited my grandfather's company six months ago. This company happens to be the Swann Corporation."Her attrac
