Chapter 460 Nonsense
Korbin’s resources were scrubbed and taken away immediately. They did not even have the time to see how they were replaced.
Rachael was so anxious that she rushed home immediately after she knew it. She told everything to her parents.
“Dad, Mom, I did not expect the jinx would do this to us.”
The Langs were displeased to hear that, especially Donna. She sighed and said, “She is your daughter after all. She would not be that foolish even if she is dumb.”
It was an interesting comment.
“Mom, stop sighing. Think of something.”
Korbin’s money and men were taken away. With her husband’s perished, her wealthy life would end.
The jinx hated her and would never let her off. Rachael knew this well. Enzo’s expression turned stern upon seeing Rachael so anxious. He glared at her and reprimanded her.
“Why are you so anxious? Nothing serious has happened. I have taught you to be calm. Have you forgotten it?”
After Rachael got scolded, she stopped whining.
“Dad, why don’t you look for Adrien?”
Enzo glared at his daughter. His son and daughter had inherited his wife’s character and did not inherit his thinking capability.
“You are muddle-headed. Have you not seen the situation?”
Rachael looked at her father in a daze, not knowing why her father said so. Enzo glared at Rachael. “Do you think I did not look for Adrien?
“Think about the consequences of me looking for him.”
After remaining silent for a few seconds, Rachael realized what he meant.
She lifted her head in shock.
“Dad, do you mean Adrien is helping that jin?”
Then, Rachael felt something was off, and she quickly denied it. “It is impossible. They don’t know each other. Adrien would never help that jinx.”
Enzo sighed and froze. His words were so nice initially but crooked because of his emotions.
“Maybe it’s because of sympathy or some other reason we don’t know.”
He had the same thoughts as his daughter. It was bizarre and impossible. They did not seem like they knew each other.
Just like Adrien knew Enzo well, Enzo knew his foster son, too.
He had paid him a few visits. If Adrien intended to help, he would not stand by and do nothing. He agreed to help a few times, then did nothing about it. That explained everything. Upon hearing her father’s explanation, Rachael was still puzzled.
“Sympathy? Why would Adrien feel sympathy for that girl?”
The girl seemed still puzzled, and Enzo was too lazy to explain more.
When his daughter decided to send her daughter to the countryside, he tried to stop her. It was cruel. Even if the kid was a jinx, it was inappropriate to abandon her.
He would rather keep the kid in the Langs and did not want his daughter to bear the name of a cruel mother.
But his daughter refused to listen. She did what she wanted, like a lunatic. Enzo remembered Adrien returning from the military and was shocked to hear this. He even questioned him.
“Why is she treating a baby so cruelly?”
Maybe from that day on, Adrien began to feel sympathy for that girl. Enzo was almost in his seventies yet still looked young and healthy. Those who did not know him would think he was only in his sixties.
Rachael resembled Enzo’s appearance. He had more temperament than his daughter and looked like an intellectual. He spoke slowly but was firm.
“You did not only give birth to Catherine. Can’t you think of something else when your husband is useless?”
Rachael retorted, “What if I give birth to some other kids? Johnny is somewhere else. We don’t even know how he is now.”
Only when talking about Johnathan would Rachael show her motherly side. She was concerned and worried about him.
Mentioning her daughter would only make her reveal a disdainful expression. She would mock and insult her. “Jonathan is unreliable. How could I depend on Liana? She needed my help more than I needed hers.”
Rachael had just finished her words, and her father glared at her, disappointed. She was alarmed and realized what he meant.
“Dad, do you mean Audrey?”
She had forgotten another daughter she had given birth to.
It was another daughter she cared less, Audrey. Enzo said calmly, “Since something serious like this happened, she had to help her parents.”
After Enzo spoke, Donna realized what he meant and leaned toward her daughter.
“Rachael, Audrey does have a good relationship with Catherine, doesn’t she? Why don’t you do as your father says and look for her? It might work.”
Since her parents had given her a solution, Rachael knew what to do. Catherine had been nice to Audrey. If she went to Audrey, she might get what she wanted.
Rachael got up anxiously.
“Dad, Mom, I’ll leave first!”
Enzo looked at his daughter, leaving hastily, and frowned.
She was not mature at all.
It was their critical moment in just half a month, and everyone was preparing for it. Unlike other kids who were revising, Catherine lay on the table drowsily. She squinted her eyes and looked ahead.
Ronin knew Catherine was spacing out when she was like that. Catherine was different from others. Others needed deep sleep to rest and relax.
However, Catherine could stop thinking and adjust her body and mind into sleep mode. It was how she rested. She could maintain herself in this state for days.
Ronin moved his chair closer to Catherine.
“Catherine, I heard you taught Korbin a lesson and guarded the Swanns, preventing him from leaving. Is that true?”
He always felt Catherine had been too kind toward that head of the Swanns. However, they were indeed blood- related. So, she naturally would show mercy. But he did not expect Catherine to be so decisive and cut off everything Korbin had.
That was pleasing to know.
Catherine remained in a lazy state as she looked at Ronin.
“Why are you so chatty and talk so much nonsense?”
That shut Ronin up as he retreated while gesturing to zip his lips. He did not dare to ask more.
