Chapter 160 Don’t Be Afraid
As soon as the Wales left, Liana, who had eavesdropped upstairs, slowly walked downstairs. Her eyes were filled with delight. She didn’t expect that Nash could get his father to come here and deal with this matter personally.
Liana slowly walked to Korbin and said in a soft tone, “Dad, did Nash and his father just come?” Kobin nodded. Nash and Liana went to the same school and were about the same age. Korbin wasn’t surprised that the two of them knew each other.
The upper social circle was quite narrow. The Wales were in Casier, too. It was normal that Liana knew Nash.
“Dad, I know what they talked about just now. Catherine is gonna disclose Nash as well as Elena, the daughter of the Leighs, and…”
She listed a series of her classmates, who were all from illustrious families and played a role in the Student Union. Yet, she didn’t mention herself. Although Korbin was her father, he cared a lot more about Johnathan than her.
Hearing Liana’s words, Korbin looked increasingly gloomy. Out of rage, he thumped the table and snapped, “That wretched girl! She’s gonna destroy the Swanns!”
“Where is she?”
Faced with Korbin’s wrath, Liana felt rather complacent. The more Kobin disliked Catherine, the happier she felt. In her eyes, Catherine didn’t belong to this home and should return to the countryside.
“Dad, I heard from the maid that Catherine couldn’t bear the noise at home, so she moved into Audrey’s place. She’s been living in Audrey’s apartment these days.”
Korbin’s face immediately hardened. He was vexed and growled, “How dare she!
“Make a call to Audrey or Catherine right now. She has half an hour. If I can’t see Catherine at home in half an hour, she’ll never come back!”
“Okay, Dad!”
Liana agreed obediently. When she turned around, she had a beaming smile on her face. When Catherine received the call, before Liana finished speaking, she directly hung up the phone.
It was mainly because Liana was too arrogant. Catherine thought, “Who does she think she is? Why would I cut her some slack?”
She didn’t want to hear Liana talk nonsense, so she directly hung up on Liana. Shortly after she hung up the phone, someone knocked on the door.
Catherine stretched herself with fatigue, got off the bed, and opened the door. It was Audrey outside the door, who looked really anxious. “Kathy, Dad wants you to go back.
Hurry and get changed. I’ll drive you back!”
Unlike Audrey, who was panicked and flustered, Catherine seemed rather composed. She staggered lazily as if just waking up from a dream. “I’m not going!”
After expressing her opinion concisely, Catherine meant to go back and lie in bed. Now, she needed to take a rest. She still had things to do at night. However, Audrey reacted extremely fast and reached out to hold the door.
“Kathy, wait.”
Catherine stopped closing the door and arched her brows. She looked at Audrey aloofly, “Anything else?”
“Kathy, you must go.” Audrey stared at her with imploring eyes and emphasized carefully, “And you must go as soon as possible.”
Catherine really didn’t want to go, but Audrey kept pushing her. Audrey didn’t yell at Catherine. Instead, she just kept nagging like an annoying mosquito, which was really infuriating!
Annoyed as she was, Catherine wouldn’t hurt Audrey. Being entreated again and again by Audrey, Catherine could only agree.
“I’ll go. Happy?”
Hearing that Catherine finally agreed with her, Audrey instantly came around. Her imploring face was replaced with a beaming expression. “Okay, you’re so good. I’ll get the car now. Just get changed and come downstairs!”
As if she was afraid that Catherine would go back on her word, Audrey just ran away without hesitation. Catherine shook her head resignedly and went back to get changed.
It was not that she was in a hurry but that she never did things sloppily. Since she had agreed, she would deal with this matter as fast as possible. Audrey was really worried that Catherine would run away or not come downstairs.
So, she directly waited downstairs in her car. As soon as Catherine got downstairs, Audrey opened the door of the car and asked her to get into the car. Audrey’s car looked really cute.
It was a pink Beetle. Both its exterior and interior were pink. Lovely as it was, it was not aligned with Catherine’s vibe. “Kathy, I haven’t driven this car for a while. This is the first time you’ve got into my car, right? Is it very cute?”
The corner of Catherine’s lips twitched.
She nodded. Audrey had long been used to Catherine’s aloofness. If Catherine treated her warmly all of a sudden, Audrey might feel uncomfortable.
“Kathy, we’ll record the show again next weekend. If you do it, will your academic work be affected?”
“No!”
Catherine’s answer was concise and clear. Since she had agreed with Audrey to do the show, she would not break her promise. To ease the atmosphere in the car, Audrey tried to chat with Catherine.
“Kathy, do you know why Dad wants to meet you?”
“You don’t know?” Catherine replied coldly. Given Catherine’s attitude, Audrey couldn’t continue the talk with Catherine anymore. She could only give up. It was just as well that they arrived at the Swanns’ soon. The two of them came to Korbin’s study.
There was a bodyguard guarding the door. He saluted Catherine and Audrey respectfully and put his hand in front of Audrey. “Mr. Swann said only Catherine was allowed to go inside!”
Hearing the answer, Audrey knitted her brows with displeasure. She didn’t know what Korbin was up to, but somehow, she just had a bad feeling. Audrey stood in situ, and Catherine went inside alone.
“Wait…”
Hearing the voice from behind, Catherine stopped to look back and fixed her eyes on Audrey. Audrey bit her lower lip and hesitated a bit before saying, “Kathy, if anything comes up, just shout for help. I’m waiting for you at the door!”
At this moment, Catherine really paused for one second. Then, the corners of her mouth turned up. She finally replied, “Okay!”
The moment she turned around, she put on a cold look as usual. She was only nice to the people she cared about. The bodyguard opened the door for Catherine. When she entered the door of the study, two folders whooshed to her..
Other people would be hit for sure.
Yet, Catherine was not an ordinary person. Would she be struck by the folders?
Of course not!
Catherine slightly leaned to one side and dodged the folders with ease. After the folders fell to the ground, Catherine took one step forward and stepped on them casually.
She slowly raised her head to look at Korbin and wanted to find out why he was so mad.
