Chapter 459 Something Bad Had Happened
Branden protected Catherine domineeringly, making Korbin and Rachael dumbfounded. Korbin looked at Branden with hostility. He was suppressing his anger and about to reach its limits. He was about to explode in anger.
“No wonder this girl dared to treat us like this. So, you were supporting her.”
Branden seemed relaxed compared to Korbin. He had one of his hands in his pocket and stood beside Catherine casually.
“After Vicente passed away, Catherine did not have many relatives left. Isn’t it normal for me to help her as her fiance? Why does this irritate you so much, Mr. Swann?”
Catherine glanced at the man tiredly. Instantly, the man’s cold gaze turned soft, and looked at her with care.
He knew from Dr. Miracle that Catherine’s body health had declined since she got injured.
He felt sorry for her every time he saw her looking tired. He wanted to piss Korbin off but lost interest when he saw Catherine tired. All he wanted to do was to take Catherine home.
The man bent down and carried Catherine in his arms.
“Come on. Let’s go back and rest.”
Catherine would naturally not reject anyone from helping her. She lay in the man’s arm lazily and let him carry her.
Looking at Branden carrying Catherine as he headed out, Korbin flew into a rage. He shouted, “Stand there!
“Do you think you can bully the Swanns as you wish and leave and enter our house just like that?”
Branden stopped and looked at Korbin.
“Mr. Swann, I can’t do anything to the Swanns, but you…”
He paused as he looked at Korbin meaningfully. His gaze was so scary that it shocked Korbin. Korbin took a few steps back without realizing he had shown his fear.
“Mr. Swann, do you really think I can’t do anything to you?”
“You have to thank Kathy for being your daughter. This relationship saved you.”
Korbin froze. He did not expect Branden to threaten him. He had said whatever he should. As for what Korbin would do, it was not what he cared about.
The man carried Catherine as he strode out the door. Rachael was anxious and quickly pulled Korbin’s hand.
“Hubby, are you going to let them leave just like that?”
Korbin was angry. Something struck him. He naturally would not let them leave that easily.
He was about to make a call. However, a call came in before that. Looking at the number, Korbin was a little alarmed. He tapped on the answer button and placed the phone by his ear.
“Mr. Swann, something terrible had happened.
“A secret organization had messed up our lairs. Our men had been captured, and some of our old crimes had been investigated. This is a disaster.”
Among those men Korbin had employed, this batch of people were loyal to him. They had helped him do many illegal deeds.
Those people needed him, and he had something on them. He did not expect things to turn out like this. Since they had found his lairs, Korbin was in despair and fell onto the sofa.
He was doomed this time.
Rachael looked at Korbin falling on the sofa and exclaimed, “Hubby, are you alright?
“Don’t scare me!”
Korbin did not respond. He only stared at her coldly. He did not even blink his eyes. Branden carried Catherine to the car from the Swanns’.
Catherine was hugged tightly by him, and she sweated a little. The man quickly told the driver, “Turn down the temperature.”
The driver did not hesitate and quickly carried out the order. After the driver reduced the temperature, Branden draped the blanket on Catherine. The simplest way was to place her aside, and she would not feel hot anymore.
The man was reluctant. So, he kept adjusting everything. Catherine did not mind. After all, it was Branden doing everything. She let him do it since he was willing to do it.
Paxton sat on the front passenger’s seat and noticed the movement behind him. When it was finally silent, he spoke.
“Sir, we have settled it. Korbin’s men had been cleared.”
Catherine heard it since she was not deaf, and Paxton did not hide it from her. She lifted her head and looked at the man’s face through the streetlight shone into the car.
Due to the dim lights, the man’s face looked skinnier, and his jawline was obvious. After long, Catherine squinted her eyes and spoke.
“Why did you attack Korbin for no reason?”
She had already taken Korbin’s assets, and Korbin was now penniless. Since he had lost his support, he was harmless.
Since he was harmless, Catherine let him be arrogant like he wanted.
Never did she expect Branden would attack Korbin’s men. She did not feel sorry for Korbin but did not want to implicate the Duncans, tainting their name.
The man naturally did not know what was on her mind, and his expression turned gloomy. Catherine did not notice it. She lowered her head and rubbed her tiny head on the man’s chest.
The angry man was instantly happy and caressed her head with love.
His girl had been independent all these years.
So, she was not accustomed to asking for help.
Even if he helped her, she would still think it was unnecessary.
It was because she could do it but was too lazy to do so. He could only dote on her and let her do whatever she wanted since she was his fiancee.
He would not care who were those who dared to hurt his girl. As long as that person intended to hurt his fiancee, he would make sure that person would be doomed before he could do anything.
It was just like what Korbin said.
It was all thanks to Catherine’s blood- related relationship with Korbin.
Otherwise, Korbin would not be able to get away with it with such a light punishment.
The man’s gaze was cold upon thinking of it, but it was gentle again when he looked at Catherine in his arms.
“Take a nap, and I’ll wake you up when we reach home.”
“Okay!”
Catherine did not reject, and she felt she was beginning to like lying in the man’s arms.
She nodded lazily and curled up in his arms in a comfortable position.
Her tiny, delicate face was cute and less cold than usual.
