Chapter 467 Catherine Got Hurt
Audrey was so shocked when she saw the kidnappers below, who were lying in all sorts of postures and occasionally screaming in pain, that her eyes were almost popping out of her sockets.
She had intended to pull Catherine to watch it together but found that Catherine had already headed toward the kidnappers. Worried that Catherine might encounter any mishap, Audrey quickly caught up with her.
“Be careful, Kathy!”
Catherine didn’t pay attention to Audrey babbling behind her. Her gaze accurately fell on the table ahead. The papers on the table were exactly the ones the kidnappers used to threaten Audrey into signing.
Catherine casually picked up the document and glanced at it. When she saw the huge title on the document cover, a smug smile appeared in her eyes.
Seeing her expression so weird, Audrey felt really strange.
“Kathy, what do you have in your hand?
Catherine casually waved her hand and smoothly placed the document into Audrey’s hands. She then nodded and gestured for Audrey to look at it herself.
With a heart full of doubts, Audrey flipped through the document. The moment she opened it, she was blown away by the contents of the file.
The title was Share Transfer Agreement.
The contents of the document surprisingly requested that Catherine give up her current shares in the Swann Corporation, with the beneficiary being their father, Korbin Swann.
Audrey immediately grasped what had happened here, even though she might have seemed foolish. After she received a phone call from her family, she was kidnapped and taken away shortly after leaving the film set.
Then Catherine appeared in this abandoned factory and managed to rescue her in front of so many kidnappers.
Audrey’s eyes instantly turned red as she looked at the document in her hand. Although she knew the truth in her heart, she still refused to believe it. She lifted her head and fixed her bright red eyes on Catherine, wanting to figure everything out.
“Kathy, how could he do this? We’re both his daughters. As the saying goes, the most ferocious animal wouldn’t eat its own cubs. How could he do such a thing?”
Audrey never imagined she would be kidnapped by her father one day. The most terrible thing was that her father’s kidnapping of her was actually to use her as a threat to her sister to achieve his selfish goals.
When faced with Audrey’s painful questioning, Catherine didn’t utter a single word. A thin layer of coldness was increasingly covering her exquisite and stunning face, and the indifference in her beautiful eyes was also becoming deeper.
For money and power, many people were even willing to sell their own souls. Nothing was surprising about this. Catherine had seen the darkest side of humanity and had long turned a blind eye to it. Audrey was still trapped in her father’s selfishness and couldn’t accept everything she knew.
Catherine also got lost in her memories because of the questioning from Audrey. Neither noticed that the scarred man behind had quietly gotten up and was now holding a short knife, waiting for his chance.
Seeing Catherine with her back facing him, the scarred man felt that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
He hated Catherine! He had never been treated this way by anyone in his whole life. Whenever he got the chance, he would definitely make Catherine suffer. Seizing the opportunity, the scarred man lunged forward brutally, aiming to deliver a single decisive blow.
When the opponent approached, Catherine sensed something was wrong, so she looked back and found that the scarred man was counterattacking.
The distance between the two was too close for Catherine to react, so she could only take a step back to create some space before striking the scarred man fiercely.
Seeing that he didn’t manage to harm Catherine on the first attempt, the scarred man desperately swung his knife again to stab her without hesitation.
Catherine calmly waited for the scarred man’s approach. She was already prepared and on guard. The scarred man’s intentions to harm her were simply a delusion.
However, none had anticipated that Audrey would also come to her senses at the same time. As she saw the scarred man intending to harm Catherine, all in her mind was a single thought.
“Kathy must not be harmed. I absolutely cannot let her get hurt,” she said inwardly.
“Kathy, run now!”
Audrey lunged forward directly as if she was going to push Catherine away. This unexpected turn of events caught Catherine off guard.
She had been used to being alone for many years. Even if special tasks required her to take people out, those people were all high-level experts in combat. Usually, everyone minded their own business and had no habit of helping others.
Initially, she didn’t give a damn about the scarred man because she knew he couldn’t lay a finger on her. But then, she didn’t expect to run into a wild card like Audrey.
When the scarred man saw Audrey rush toward him, he pointed the tip of his knife toward her and stabbed it fiercely.
“Anyway, between the two sisters, one must inevitably be hurt in order to break even,” he thought. As Catherine watched Audrey about to be injured, she swiftly reached out and pulled Audrey back with one hand.
To prevent the knife from cutting Audrey’s face, Catherine instinctively shielded it with her hand. The razor-sharp blade sliced Catherine’s arm, leaving a large wound with blood splattering.
Catherine’s reaction was extremely quick. After saving Audrey, she swiftly turned around and delivered a powerful kick, sending the scarred man flying.
The scarred man was kicked away by Catherine and fell hard to the ground, unable to stand up again. Audrey was so scared that she didn’t have time to think much. Catherine’s blood had splattered on her face just now. She knew that Catherine must have been hurt.
When she lowered her head, she noticed the huge gash on Catherine’s arm. She was so scared that her whole body trembled, and her voice choked up as she spoke.
“Kathy, you got hurt! There’s so much blood.
“How am I supposed to deal with this?”
Audrey was freaking out, and her mind was a mess. She instinctively reached out to cover the wound on Catherine’s arm with her hands.
The wound was too severe, and the blood couldn’t be stopped. Fresh blood kept flowing non-stop, driving Audrey to the brink of panic.
However, Catherine remained calm as if nothing had happened, prompting Audrey to yell at her in frustration.
“Kathy, what’s the deal with you? If you’re in pain, just cry out. If that doesn’t work, shout a little. I’m so scared to see you like this.”
Catherine stood motionless, her gaze icy cold. This demeanor left Audrey uncertain about what to do.
“Cry?” thought Catherine.
In her memory, she never cried.
She slowly lifted her gaze, and her cold eyes fell on Audrey’s panicked and distorted face.
“What’s the point of making a fuss about such a minor injury?”
Catherine’s plain tone was like a needle poking into Audrey’s heart, making it so painful that she couldn’t even breathe.
She recalled when Johnathan accidentally tripped at the stairway and scraped his knee.
That brat was crying in such an exaggerated way, like he wanted the whole world to know how badly he had fallen. Finally, Korbin had to personally intervene and coax the little brat into calming down.
Rachael was so upset that she fired the two maids caring for Johnathan. Plus, she went ahead and changed the entire building’s staircase and even got an all- wool carpet custom-made from abroad to cover all of the stairs.
It was ridiculous how much effort Rachael put into for just a little skin scrape while Catherine barely batted an eye at such a severe injury.
Thinking of all this, Audrey felt even more heartbroken for Catherine.
“Kathy, we’re going to the hospital. I will take you to the hospital!”
Audrey was anxiously dragging Catherine to leave.
With a cold look in her eyes, Catherine casually glanced at her arm and watched as the fresh blood continued to flow. Without much thought, she tore her T-shirt and used it as a makeshift bandage to wrap around her arm.
The blood stopped gushing as if on cue, but the wound still looked pretty creepy with the mix of red and white.
Catherine planned on ignoring it, but Audrey kept insisting.
When Catherine saw Audrey’s swollen eyes, which were as big as two walnuts, she silently decided not to argue anymore and let Audrey make all the decisions.
“Just go to the hospital already,” she said inwardly.
