Chapter 377 The Thing Handed by Robot
Catherine was still in a remote part of the Oceanvile countryside when she got the call from Erick. Erick’s voice was very soft, sounding a little breathless.
“Catherine, can I see you?”
Catherine did not reject him and gave him an address. She was sure he could find it. An hour later, Erick arrived at the address Catherine had given him.
It was a very remote part of the countryside, on the edge of Oceanvile. It was full of green wheat fields at a glance, giving a feeling of freshness and serenity.
Erick didn’t expect Catherine to stay in this kind of place. If it weren’t for Catherine giving him the address in person, he would have thought someone was playing tricks on him!
Erick searched the wheat fields, but there was not even a single figure in the vast wheat fields. He called Catherine, but the phone was never answered.
Erick had no choice but to go around the wheat fields by himself. When he broke into the deeper wheat fields inadvertently at the edge, he suddenly saw a familiar back figure in front of him.
Instantly, his eyes lit up, and he quickened his pace toward the back. The girl had her back to him, wearing a light gray dress with a hat to shield her from the sun and loose and plump pants, which were very different from her usual attire.
But Erick recognized her at once. When they were three steps away, he couldn’t help but start calling out her name, Catherine!”
Catherine was observing the ears of wheat in the wheat fields, and when she heard the sound, she turned around to see Erick walking toward her.
Used to seeing Catherine’s usual cold attire, Erick suddenly froze at the sight of her dressed like this. It was said that good-looking people would still be peerless beauties even if they went out in a sack!
This sentence was aptly used on Catherine!
Catherine took out the experimental bag from her pocket and put the wheat kernels in it before turning her head to look at Erick.
“Follow me!”
Erick followed Catherine. Seeing her passage through the dense wheat fields familiarly, Erick could tell she was pretty familiar with this place.
He had heard rumors that although Catherine was the lady of the Swanns, she grew up in the countryside, so it seemed the rumors might be true!
Thinking about this, Erick couldn’t help but feel distress for Catherine. Subsequently, he followed Catherine to a small cabin by the roadside.
Although it was a small cabin, it had two stories and was more like a courtyard. It was right near the wheat fields. A small yard was fenced out at the entrance, and quite a few crops were planted in the middle of the yard.
The most common crop was chili peppers, both yellow and red!
What surprised Erick the most was the installation of an electronic lock at the small fence switch, which seemed to be face-recognized!
After Catherine approached and stood there for a second, the small fence automatically opened. Erick followed closely behind Catherine into the small courtyard.
It was unclear from the outside, but after coming in, he realized that the interior of this courtyard was much larger than what he saw from the outside, and a small gazebo had been built.
In the center of the gazebo was a vintage set of tables and chairs with coffee cups on. Catherine took the hat off her head and hung it aside, walking over to the chairs and sitting down.
“Take a seat. Let’s have some coffee!”
Erick took the coffee, and the strong aroma of coffee hit his face. It was refreshing. The coffee had an intense color and aroma. After Erick sipped it lightly, the gentle coffee ran between his lips and teeth, sweet and refreshing.
“Catherine, the coffee is good!”
Catherine nodded casually. “Yes, it’s good. The people in the village planted it themselves. It’s pure natural and pollution-free!”
Erick nodded in agreement. As a kid living with his grandmother, he often had access to farm produce. The appearance of farm produce might look average, but they always had a different taste.
Thinking of the past, Erick’s eyes darkened instantly. Catherine was holding a coffee cup and lazily leaning against the rocking chair, feeling very cozy.
Branden had something to attend to for two days, and she just happened to take advantage of this time to return to the village to visit her wheat fields. If it weren’t for her grandfather’s call, how comfortable her vacation life would be!
She would only need to take care of her wheat fields daily, water her little chili peppers, raise flowers, and feed fish. How happy her life would be!
Unfortunately, her grandfather called her back to inherit his inheritance and asked her to help him deal with his bad son!
This was her daily headache!
Catherine didn’t miss the change in Erick’s expression, but she didn’t pay much attention. She had always emphasized that one would have to live the life one chose.
She was not the heroine and didn’t have the mind to save the world. After a few moments of sadness, Erick returned to his senses and locked his gaze on Catherine.
“Catherine, this is 30% equity of the Winfreds. I promised you that I would give the Winfreds to you!”
He fulfilled his promise to Catherine in the Winfreds’ dungeon of Casier!
Erick had a rare smile, and his gaze fixed on Catherine. Catherine glanced at the contract on the table and didn’t reach out to pick it up.
Catherine had no surprise on her face when such a huge fortune came suddenly, and the expression on her face made people couldn’t tell what mood she was in.
She turned her head and looked at Erick with a cold gaze. Looking at his pale cheeks, she asked in a low voice, “Is it worth losing a kidney for this?”
Erick froze for a moment, seemingly not expecting Catherine to know everything. On second thought, he understood. Catherine was such a powerful character. How could she not even know these things?
Erick gave a shallow smile that was both cold and sarcastic. “Just consider it a repayment for him giving me the chance to come into this world!”
In the beginning, Xavier hurt Erick’s mother and grandparents. Erick was carrying Xavier’s bloodline and used one kidney to pay back this. After that, he only had hatred for Xavier!
The Winfreds owed his mother and his family, and he would make them pay it bit by bit. Catherine pulled out her cell phone and pressed it toward the cabin behind her.
It didn’t take long to see a humanoid robot waddling out. It finally stopped in front of Catherine and said respectfully, “Boss, this is what you asked for!”
Erick looked at this scene in amazement. Was there an intelligent robot in this poor countryside?
“Catherine, what is this?” Erick couldn’t help but inquire curiously. Seeing his gaze on the robot, Catherine lightly replied, “I created it when I was bored to accompany me, and it usually delivers things to me!”
She took the thing from the robot’s hands, and the robot bowed to her before backing away on its own.
“Boss, see you next time. Looking forward to your next call!”
Erick was a bit dumbfounded. The robot was created by Catherine when she was bored to accompany her, but it was so high-end!
It seemed that Catherine was much more powerful than he had imagined. Catherine handed Erick what the robot had given her. Erick took it and took a closer look. He was shocked by the content.
“Catherine, this…”
