The second-floor master bedroom door was tightly closed, and several untouched meals were placed at the entrance. The maid knocked on the door cautiously, signaling the person inside to open it."Do you have a spare key?" Catherine asked.The maid nodded. "Yes, on the first floor. I'll go get it for you."Zobber, who was behind them, heard it and briskly approached. "Catherine, using a spare key is troublesome. Let me handle it."Catherine glanced at her and agreed.Zobber removed a hairpin from her head, and in just three seconds, she opened the door.The maid on the side was left stunned; she didn't even have a chance to fetch the key before the door opened."Get out!" A woman's angry shout came from inside, unmistakably Audrey's voice.Catherine walked in slowly, catching the pillow that smashed into her. "What's going on?"The cold voice brought Audrey back to her senses. She looked up and saw Catherine, instantly flustered. "Kathy, I thought it was Triston. Did you get hu
Catherine left with Zobber and the others. Connie gave Audrey some medicine, and Audrey had already fallen asleep peacefully.She was now in Triston's mansion. Even if the media found out, they would hesitate due to Triston's reputation and not easily enter. Audrey was safest here.Zobber owned a bar in Loxton, satisfying her occasional desire for drinks. "Come on, Catherine, Connie, order whatever you want. It's on me."Connie took the drink menu from Zobber and raised her eyebrows. "Wow, so generous. Then get me ten of your most expensive ones.""No problem!" Zobber was very generous. Just ten drinks wouldn't be too extravagant for her. "Catherine, what about you?" she asked."A cup of hot water," Catherine said.Zobber was shocked, looking at Catherine in disbelief. "Are you sure it's hot water and not the elixir of life?"Catherine didn't respond, but her eyes carried an attitude that brooked no refusal. Understanding her, Zobber called the waiter as instructed.After arran
Catherine didn't lose her temper, but Zobber was getting impatient. She directly slapped Davy in the face, saying, "What are you saying? How dare you lie here? Do you want to die?""Smack!" The loud slap echoed throughout the private room.Davy covered his face and cried in pain. Then he coughed violently, spitting out blood with a white tooth mixed in it.The surrounding people watched this scene coldly. For them, it wasn't entertaining at all.Zobber had already restrained the force of the slap. If she had used full strength, Davy might have already passed out."Here's another chance. If you don't talk, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Zobber threatened."Miss, spare me!" Davy knelt on the ground, continuously bowing. "I really didn't lie. Please spare my life."Zobber took out a fruit knife from the side and waved it in her hand. Davy was frightened and seemed on the verge of fainting at any moment.But he remained silent, no matter how Zobber threatened him.Suddenly, C
Kamren was still indulging in his sweet dreams when the Arroyos' gate was kicked open.Upon hearing the servant's report, Kamren abruptly woke up and glared angrily at the servant. "Who dares to kick open the Arroyos' gate? Had enough of living, huh?"Trembling, the servant looked at Kamren and said, "Mr. Arroyo, you better go and see. The people who came are really fierce."Kamren kicked away the alluring woman lying beside him and hastily put on his clothes before he headed toward the gate. He wanted to see who had the guts.Reaching the gate, Kamren was shocked by the scene before him. His bodyguards, the ones who usually served as his henchmen, were all sprawled on the ground.Their expressions twisted in agony, limbs contorted in peculiar ways.Kamren initially thought there must be dozens of skilled individuals to create such a scene, but to his surprise, there were only five people when he counted.Three men and two women, all seemingly young. This group had defeated his
Kamren's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he heard Catherine's words. "How is this possible?" He immediately objected, disagreeing with Catherine's proposal.However, as soon as he finished his sentence, Zobber slapped him hard. She glared at him fiercely, exuding a menacing aura. "When is it your turn to object to Catherine's words?"Terrified, Kamren begged, "Madam, I was wrong. It's all my fault. Can you forgive me? I shouldn't have objected. Please spare me!"Seeing his timely apology, Zobber chose not to pursue the matter further.Kamren glanced at Emma, his eyes filled with warning and threat. He couldn't handle these people, but dealing with Emma was well within his capabilities.Emma was frightened by the way he looked at her. She had been with Kamren for a while and understood his character. She knew what his gaze meant.She hadn't expected Kamren, someone even the Duncans feared, to end up like this because of Catherine. Emma looked at Catherine with an incr
Looking at the closed gates of the Silvas', Zobber suggested to Catherine. "Catherine, should I climb over the wall, beat up the person in charge, and have them open the gates?""No need." Catherine coldly rejected Zobber's suggestion. She took out her phone and dialed Withal's number. "Come over."Sitting in the car, Ronin and Zobber were unsure of Catherine's plan. When they left the Arroyos' earlier, Withal had separated from them, and they thought he had some matters to attend to. Now, they understood that Catherine had assigned a new task to Withal.A few minutes later, a modified top-of-the-line Hummer slowly approached them. Ronin immediately recognized it as Withal's new ride, the one he had shown off to Ronin last time."Catherine, how did you get Withal to drive this car out?" Ronin asked.Catherine didn't respond; instead, she backed up the car, making way for the Hummer.The heavily modified Hummer, which had been moving like a tortoise, suddenly accelerated and charg
Erasmus was infuriated by Catherine's domineering declaration, almost triggering a heart attack.If it weren't for the fact that those incompetent people among the Silvas of this generation needed him to oversee things, he wouldn't have to endure it.He had just received calls from several business partners, all announcing the cancellation of their cooperation with the Silvas.Also, the influential figure within the Silvas, Erasmus's brother-in-law, the current leader of a particular district, had also called. He was now under investigation for corruption.In one night, the Silvas fell like a house of cards.Erasmus genuinely could not ignore Catherine's bold words now because he wasn't sure if Catherine's warnings would come true.He lifted his head and stared fixedly at Catherine with a slight tremor. "Whether it's the Duncans or the Swanns, the Silvas have never had any dealings with them, let alone conflicts. Why must you push us to our doom?"Catherine directed her gaze at
Andrea seemed to have prepared a countermeasure long before Catherine's question, and she immediately provided an answer after Catherine finished speaking."I orchestrated this whole thing, so I'll be the one to end it. Even if you expose all the evidence, some haters will still cling to this, and Audrey will be criticized for the rest of her life because of this.""Go on," Catherine said with interest, looking at Andrea.Andrea took a deep breath and revealed her last trump card. "As long as you let the Silvas go, I have a way to ensure that Audrey escapes this situation successfully."She knew that just having this wouldn't be enough. Catherine wouldn't easily let her off. She also had to impose punishment on herself to quell Catherine's anger. "After everything is settled, I'll leave the country. I'll never set foot in Eskana again unless absolutely necessary."Catherine had come to the Silvas' today with such a firm stance, crashing their gates in front of everyone, indicating
