Chapter 595 Their “Good” Mother
Before Catherine could say anything, Rachael snapped, “What else does it mean? Can’t you see she’s quibbling? She’s a disaster and tries to put the blame on someone else all day long!”
Liana knew how difficult Catherine was to deal with. Noticing that Catherine’s expression had changed a little, Liana reached out and took her mother’s hand hastily.
“Mom, stop it!”
Rachael angrily shrugged off Liana’s hand and angrily scolded her, “Why are you afraid of her? What could she do to me?”
Watching Rachael’s unrepentant appearance, Catherine glanced at Paxton on the side.
Paxton then appeared in front of the crowd with a woman. The woman obediently lowered her head and dared not speak.
Rachael, however, gasped at the sight of the woman. Although she had been trying to pretend to be calm, everyone around her felt her nervousness.
The more nervous she became, the more anxious she became, and the more she wanted to cover up her wrongdoing.
“What do you mean by this? Finding someone like her to set me up?”
Catherine looked coldly at Rachael, who remained unrepentant. Catherine was somewhat impressed by Rachael’s attitude of denying the evidence.
“She is the person I found? Isn’t she the caregiver you found for Korbin? If it weren’t for you changing the caregivers without permission and using an inferior caregiver as a substitute, could today’s situation have happened?”
Audrey became more and more confused as she listened to their conversation. How could this even involve the caregiver?
“Catherine, what the hell is going on?”
Catherine told Audrey the truth of the matter. No one expected Rachael to change caregivers without permission.
Ever since Catherine took control of the entire Swanns, Rachael’s life had become increasingly difficult. She was used to being extravagant and wasteful, so how could she stand it?
In addition to getting some money from her parents, Rachael tried to get money in any way she could.
Catherine arranged three top-notch caregivers to take care of Korbin in shifts. These caregivers were all professional senior caregivers, and none were underpaid.
It was precisely because they were not underpaid that Rachael had done something to get money by using them.
She had hired a random caregiver at the hospital after pocketing the money for the three caregivers.
Because the caregiver Rachael hired took on another part-time job, her salary was underpaid.
Due to the lack of dedicated caregivers and inadequate care, Korbin accidentally pressed his oxygen tube, but no one noticed, and ultimately, a tragedy occurred.
After listening to Catherine’s argument, Audrey looked at Rachael incredulously.
Rachael did not expect Catherine to expose all the things she did in public.
Catherine really showed no respect for her at all. She looked at Catherine angrily, her sharp eyes piercing her.
“You disaster…”
Without waiting for Rachael to finish, Audrey snapped straight away. She yelled out with almost all her might, Mom!” 11
Audrey’s roar startled Rachael. She froze in place and looked at Audrey in panic.
Audrey could not hold back any longer as she started blaming her mother. “So far, you’re still blaming Catherine. You even withhold this money. You are really inhuman!”
Liana did not expect what Rachael did to be so extreme, either. She had been neglecting Korbin and Rachael since she started college.
Rachael asked her for money several times, but she refused. Faced with Audrey’s anger, Rachael showed no remorse. She even put the blame on Audrey.
“I’m inhuman. You’re human. We raised you and gave you the best life, but you don’t have the most basic filial affection. If you gave me money, why would I withhold your dad’s caregiver’s money? I had no choice but to do that.”
Although Audrey said she did not want to care about Rachael, every time Rachael asked her for money, she would give her more or less.
Because no matter what, Rachael was her mother, the woman who gave birth to her and raised her.
Looking at Rachael’s unrepentant appearance, Audrey suddenly realized how wrong she had been.
She used to think that Catherine was too cold-blooded to treat their parents that way. Now, she realized that someone like Rachael did not deserve to be a mother.
Audrey glared angrily at Rachael, giving her final warning.
“Don’t worry. No matter why you come to me next, I won’t give you a dime. If you want to go to the press to accuse me, just do it. Do you think anyone will sympathize with a woman who can leave her young daughter behind due to superstition and almost kill her husband for money?”
Rachael’s face turned pale in an instant. She did not expect Audrey to say such things to her.
“You… you bastard!”
Audrey averted her face, not looking at Rachael anymore.
She decided that she would pretend that she did not have such a mother in her life.
Seeing Audrey ignoring her, Rachael immediately went to Liana.
Liana was her only hope right now. She did not believe that Liana would ignore her.
Facing Rachael, Liana was also distressed.
“Mom, Dad is still in there being resuscitated. Could you please stop for a while? Let’s talk about it after Dad comes out, okay?”
Rachael looked at Liana with red eyes and reached out to curse at her, “You’re all ungrateful and vicious daughters. If Johnny were here, no one could bully me!”
Liana rolled her eyes helplessly. Even if her useless brother had been there, he would only have caused more trouble.
No one paid any more attention to Rachael. Everyone’s attention was focused on the operating room.
After a while, the director came out of the operating room. His medical gloves were still stained with blood!
Korbin had a special status, so the director personally performed the surgery.
He took the initiative to walk up to Catherine. “Miss Swann, it’s very dangerous this time. We don’t have much certainty!”
What he said was actually quite conservative. Korbin’s illness was very dangerous, and their hospital’s capabilities were indeed limited.
“What should we do, Kathy?” Audrey tightly grabbed Catherine’s arm with both hands. At some point, she had taken Catherine as her support and belief.
Compared to Audrey’s disorientation, Catherine appeared to be much more calm.
Catherine had no feelings for Korbin, and she only saved him for the sake of Vicente and Audrey.
She had once promised Vicente that she would try her best to help if something happened to a descendant of the Swanns one day.
Vicente only had one son. Catherine could kick Korbin out of the Swanns and take away everything from him, but she could not see him die.
“You don’t have much certainty. What if Mr. Theo were to lead the surgery?
Will the probability of success increase slightly?”
Hearing Catherine’s words, the director suddenly regained his composure. He looked at Catherine with a surprised expression on his face.
“Are you talking about Dr. Miracle? If it were really him, Mr. Swann could be saved!”
“Okay!” Catherine nodded and turned to walk out.
