Chapter 400 He’s Done This Time
Catherine felt that he was so ridiculous. It was the 21st century. And this old man still tried to threaten her by disowning her.
Korbin was still waiting for Catherine to bow to him and show repentance. He didn’t believe that Catherine would really dare to disown him. Unexpectedly, the next second, the reply he got almost stunned him.
“Mr. Swann, I’ve got a relationship with the editor of Casier News. Do you need me to set you up with the editor?”
Hearing the reply, Korbin almost passed out in anger. Catherine was bold indeed. Since she dared to be so arrogant, he wouldn’t show mercy then.
“Fine, I’ll make a statement in the newspaper tomorrow!”
Catherine nodded with satisfaction. ” Since we’re no longer related, I think there is something you should know!”
“What is it?” Korbin stared at her with a frown. Catherine took out her phone and made a call. Then, she put it on the speaker and threw it to the table.
Korbin didn’t know what she was up to. Somehow, he felt she didn’t mean well. Then, the voice that came from the other side of the line made him stiff instantly.
“Catherine, what can I do for you?”
This… This was…
Korbin recognized the voice was Erick’s. Yes, it was Erick’s voice. While Korbin was in a daze, Catherine said slowly, “Erick, give Mr. Swann a briefing on the Winfred Group!”
“Yes!” Erick’s voice was rather serious and his attitude was rather respectful as if he was a responsible subordinate.
“Mr. Swann, hello. This is Erick Olsen. Catherine is my boss. Now, all my shares under the Winfred Group belong to Catherine. And the company you and I established jointly is also financed by her!”
Hearing Erick’s statement, Catherine waved at Korbin. Needless to say, Korbin realized what was going on. Gradually, he came back to his senses and slumped onto the sofa.
Erick turned out to work for Catherine. In other words, what he had done in Oceanvile would be actually for Catherine.
He thought his plan was perfect. However, he turned out to be a pawn. It was really hard for Korbin to accept this. He sat bemusedly..
Catherine stood up and walked to him, looking down at him from a height.
“My grandpa told me to keep you alive.
“For his sake, I won’t kill you. But you’d better put aside the wicked thoughts. If you dare to act against me again, I have a lot of ways to make you lie on the bed without being able to move a finger.
“As for the assets you’ve transferred into Oceanvile, I’ll regard them as the Swann Corporation’s investment in Oceanvile and help you finish the wish of expanding the Swann Corporation.”
Korbin raised his head to look at Catherine. At this moment, it was the first time that Catherine had made him feel frightened.
It turned out that she was so competent. He had messed with her and even seized the assets he had transferred to Oceanvile with great efforts before.
He was done!
Now, he was really done!
Korbin was overwhelmed by pain. With a cold face, Catherine remained composed and walked away right in front of him. However, when she went through the door, Catherine still informed the butler. She didn’t leave Korbin to die!
From now on, the Swann Corporation didn’t need Korbin anymore. He would just stay here quietly and enjoy the rest of his life. If he dared to have any bad intentions, she would definitely make him pay!
She would make Korbin lie in bed for the rest of his life!
The moment Catherine got out, Branden noticed that. So, he came to her.
“Is everything done?”
“Yeah,” Catherine nodded.
Branden held her hand and left the Swanns’ without hesitation. This was the house built by Vicente. She didn’t mind leaving it to Korbin and his family. It was for the sake of Vicente.
Catherine finally reported back after a leave of absence and started to go to school. Recently, the students of Class 8 were all so busy preparing for the final exam that they didn’t feel like gossiping anymore.
Even though Catherine had come back, no one cared about what she had done over the past several days. They just said a few words of concern and then left her alone.
However, Liana had been isolated for a long time due to the previous matter. The situation finally eased these days. As soon as Catherine appeared, everybody seemed to have their memory back.
Liana hated Catherine for the latter’s appearance. She didn’t know why Vicente liked Catherine so much. She wished that Catherine would have died!
However, no matter how much Liana hated Catherine, it couldn’t change the truth that Catherine was getting more and more popular in the class. Catherine was always aware of Liana’s hostility but she just never cared.
After all, there were so many people who hated her. If she cared about them all, she would be really exhausted.
As long as Liana didn’t cause trouble, Catherine didn’t care how much Liana hated her. Now that Catherine had come back, Ronin was the happiest one.
He learned that Catherine had taken Withal to save people in an imposing manner. According to Withal, the scene was really awesome. Ronin felt really jealous.
It was a pity that he wasn’t there. Now Catherine was finally back. He was still Catherine’s favorite subordinate. He didn’t have to be jealous of others.
“Catherine, it’s great that you’re back!”
Catherine abruptly pushed Ronin who wanted to approach her and then stood up. Seeing that she was leaving, Ronin hastened to ask, “Catherine, where are you going? Take me with you.”
Catherine tilted her head to take a look at him, scaring Ronin to sit back at once.
When he sat down, Catherine explained where she was going.
“I’ll go to the homeroom teacher to report back after an absence of leave.”
After knowing that, Ronin didn’t want to go with her then.
Catherine found the homeroom teacher and submitted the second note for leave.
The homeroom teacher looked at her with a smile, “Kathy, congratulations on winning the championship and bringing such a high honor to Class 8.”
Catherine arched her brows and made no response.
Others would think Catherine was arrogant. Yet, the homeroom teacher knew her well. She was aware that Catherine just didn’t care.
The homeroom teacher dragged Catherine aside and whispered, “I have good news to share with you. The principal said I had a great chance of getting a promotion and a pay rise.”
Catherine raised her brows and said gently with a faint smile, “Miss, congratulations. You’ve finally got what you wanted!”
“It’s all thanks to your support. Thank you!”
The homeroom teacher knew Catherine had made lots of effort to make her get a promotion and a pay rise.
In her eyes, Catherine was merely hard on the outside but soft on the inside. She was just not expressive.
“Alright. I’ve got the note of leave. Go back to the class!”
Catherine said goodbye to the homeroom teacher and returned to her class as usual.
As the bell for class rang, she leaned over the desk and slept.
However, she was awoken by the sound of the phone vibrating.
According to the rules in class, Catherine always put her phone on vibrate.
Having taken a look at the phone, Catherine found the caller was Kim and guessed it should be about Audrey.
She raised her hand and asked for a leave with the excuse of going to the toilet.
Catherine loved sleeping but she always followed the rules. This kind of situation barely happened, so her request was permitted by the teacher.
After getting the teacher’s permission, Catherine stood up, got out of the class, and picked up the call at the crossing.
