Chapter 475 Rachael’s Anger
As Rachael gazed at the cramped little apartment, she was extremely angry. They had been kicked out of the Swanns ‘by Catherine. Originally, Rachael wanted to return to her mother’s house, but Korbin was firmly against it.
In the end, they had no choice but to settle into this small city apartment.
This apartment was less than 1,000 square feet. It had been purchased for Liana to take a nap during a nearby training class. It was initially registered under Liana’s name, and Rachael had never anticipated they would end up living here.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. The living room in this place wasn’t even half the size of her former walk-in closet. She couldn’t believe that a high-society lady like herself would end up in such a situation.
Unable to contain her anger any longer, Rachael picked up the phone and dialed a number. At the same time, Audrey was on the set in the Northwest.
Audrey was still busy shooting, and she had entrusted her phone to Kim for safekeeping. When Kim noticed the vibration of Audrey’s personal phone, he quickly took it out.
After he saw the incoming call on the screen, a sardonic smile appeared on Kim’s face. He thought inwardly, “She really has the nerve to call. It’s unbelievable.”
Initially, Kim was reluctant to answer the call, but the phone continued to ring incessantly. With a roll of his eyes, Kim finally answered it.
As the call connected, he was greeted by Rachael’s furious voice.
“You brat! It took you this long to answer. When did you become so arrogant?”
Kim, who had seen the two faces of female celebrities both on and off the stage, was momentarily taken aback by Rachael’s words.
He hadn’t expected such a stark contrast in Rachael’s behavior.
“Mrs. Swann, it’s me. Audrey is still busy shooting.”
Upon hearing Kim’s voice, Rachael recognized him as Audrey’s agent, whom she had met a few times before. As Rachael faced Kim, her anger was somewhat subdued, but her attitude remained haughty.
“Tell her to stop shooting and answer the phone.”
Rachael was so arrogant that Kim couldn’t help but wish he could throw a shoe at her face. Considering Rachael’s attitude, Kim adopted a cold tone.
“Mrs. Swann, if you have something to say, tell me, and I’ll convey it to Audrey once she’s available.”
Rachael reacted as if she had heard a joke. She sneered, “Who do you think you are? Talking to you is already showing you some respect. Are you even qualified to relay a message for me?”
Kim had no idea how Audrey had managed to survive all these years. Having a mother like Rachael was a truly unfortunate thing.
“Mrs. Swann, if you don’t have any other business, I’ll hang up now.”
“You dare!” Rachael warned sternly.
In Rachael’s view, even a small-time agent from the entertainment industry dared to speak to her like this. It was ridiculous.
Taking a page from Rachael’s earlier tone, Kim responded with a touch of sarcasm.
He sneered, “What do I have to be afraid of? Do you still think you’re the high and mighty Mrs. Swann? Haven’t you already severed ties with Audrey? Then why are you calling?”
He had heard about Audrey cutting ties with the Swanns yesterday.
Kim learned about the terrible things the Swanns did to Audrey, including kidnapping Audrey to threaten Catherine. In his opinion, cutting ties was just the beginning. He would have sought vengeance if he were in Audrey’s shoes.
“You…” Rachael couldn’t believe that Audrey had shared such matters with Kim. Her face turned red with anger. Then she shouted, “Cut ties? She’s enjoyed all the luxuries at the Swanns’ for years, and now she’s cutting ties with me.
“Audrey is so unfilial. Isn’t she afraid of being ridiculed by the world? I could expose her to the media. Let’s see how this ungrateful girl fares in the entertainment industry.”
In the entertainment industry, people dreaded these kinds of amoral scandals. If Audrey wanted to thrive in this circle, she needed to be obedient.
After being threatened, Kim was thoroughly infuriated. He laughed in anger.
“Haha. Fine, Mrs. Swann. While I’m not from a prestigious family like yours, I do know quite a few people in the media world. Mrs. Swann, if you need anything, feel free to contact me, and I’ll arrange for several media outlets to give you some coverage.”
He continued, “And I must clarify one thing. Audrey did have a privileged upbringing in a wealthy environment, but none of this was thanks to you, Mrs. Swann. She was born into the Swanns, a wealthy family. Even you, Mrs. Swann, wouldn’t have your current status without the support of the Swanns.”
The wealth of the Swanns was built by Vicente’s ancestors, and Vicente continued to expand it, leading to their current status as a prominent family.
All this wealth had no connection with Korbin and Rachael. Moreover, Audrey grew up by Vicente’s side and wasn’t even raised by these two for a single day.
Finally, Kim issued a warning to Rachael. He said, “Mrs. Swann, please be sure to mention the fact that you and Mr. Swann have severed ties with Audrey when you hold your press conference. I’ll accompany Audrey to file a report. The kidnapping incident from yesterday isn’t over yet.”
Actually, they weren’t afraid of Rachael exposing the matter. They knew that in the end, the heartless couple would be the ones facing a grim outcome.
However, Audrey’s career was currently on the rise and in its prime.
The big-budget film she had auditioned for had finally been confirmed, and Kim didn’t expect her to secure the role of the female lead. Kim believed that once the movie was released, Audrey’s career would reach new heights.
Kim used to wonder why Audrey, a fine young lady, would endure such hardship in the entertainment industry.
Why didn’t she return home to inherit her tens of billions of dollars worth of family wealth and live a life of leisure as a socialite?
Now he understood. With parents like hers, she wouldn’t be happy, even if she had hundreds of billions of dollars in inheritance.
Rachael was shocked and couldn’t believe that Audrey had actually shared such matters with others.
“Are you threatening me?”
“Not at all. Mrs. Swann, I just hope that you appreciate what you have now. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”
After that, Kim hung up without hesitation. He thought what he did just now was so cool.
He sneered and thought inwardly, ” Who does she think she is? She is nothing!”
Rachael’s phone beeped.
The sound of the call being disconnected reached Rachael, and her anger had reached a boiling point. She couldn’t control herself any longer and hurled the phone at the wall.
“These ingrates! This bunch of ingrates…”
She had hoped to get Audrey involved in some trouble, but Audrey actually didn’t answer her call, and Kim even threatened her.
Rachael thought inwardly, “These girls are truly asking for trouble!”
Liana stood silently outside the door. She had overheard the entire conversation inside the room. Her hand at her side clenched tightly.
Liana thought inwardly, “Catherine is such a jinx. She caused so much trouble. 11
Liana had originally just wanted to focus on her upcoming exams and hadn’t wanted to get involved in all this. However, things had spiraled into this mess.
With just one more day, after tomorrow’s exam, she would have the time to deal with Catherine.
After subduing her anger, Liana turned away with an indifferent expression.
