Chapter 631 Beating Atticus
Atticus had been humiliated inside the banquet hall, and since he did not fight back, he was so angry and had nowhere to vent his anger.
He could only walk out of the banquet hall to calm himself down.
The assistant came to Atticus’ side cautiously and lowered his voice. ”
Professor Sterling, I think they did it intentionally to make you angry!”
Atticus glanced at his assistant coldly. He moved his beard disdainfully.
“You think I don’t know?”
It was precisely because Atticus knew they were doing it intentionally that he tried his best to suppress his anger.
He wanted to see what Branden and the others could do to him without a good reason.
Edson had agreed to cooperate with him. He would report to his superiors about the cooperation with the Breens.
When they reached an agreement, he would have his way to remove Catherine.
“At that time, not to mention Branden, even if the entire Duncans took action, what could they do?” he thought.
Atticus was filled with pride in his heart. Just then, he heard a familiar voice coming from behind.
“Professor Sterling!”
Atticus subconsciously turned around and saw Catherine standing not far away.
Seeing that Catherine had chased after him, Atticus thought Catherine changed her mind and was secretly happy.
“Miss Swann, it seems you’ve figured it out, right?”
Catherine walked straight toward Atticus. She had a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, and her face was calm and composed.
“Professor Sterling, I’ve heard that you’ve been playing tricks behind the scenes these days!”
Atticus was not afraid of Catherine knowing what he had done. He was even a bit smug about it.
“Miss Swann, as I said, I appreciate your talent. Your talent and ability are worth my hard work!”
“Hard work?” Catherine murmured lightly before punching Atticus in the face in an instant.
Although Catherine only used a little strength in this punch, she knocked Atticus down to the ground immediately.
Atticus’ assistant was dumbfounded on the spot. He did not seem to expect Catherine, a thin and beautiful girl, to throw punches suddenly. Furthermore, he did not expect Catherine to have such a powerful strength to knock Atticus off his feet.
It took some time before the assistant came back to his senses. He went forward to help Atticus, but Catherine moved before he did.
Catherine stepped forward and stomped on Atticus’ chest.
“Remember, you shouldn’t put your fingers on things that do not belong to you!”
Atticus could no longer suppress the anger within him. He had never been humiliated like this in his life. He struggled hard, wanting to break away from Catherine to get up and fight back.
But no matter how hard he tried, there was no way he could break free from Catherine.
Catherine’s strength was beyond his imagination. With no other choice, Atticus could only say harsh words to Catherine in his humiliating position.
“Catherine, don’t you forget my status. How dare you treat me like this? Aren’t you worried about creating a diplomatic crisis?”
Seeing that Atticus did not repent, Catherine squatted down and beat him up again.
The assistant reacted and wanted to help Atticus, but he was punched by Catherine.
The assistant fell to the ground and struggled hard to get up. He wanted to help Atticus, but no matter how he moved, he couldn’t stand up. He could only watch Atticus take the beating helplessly.
Catherine did not like to hit people in the face and focused on hitting the parts of their body that others couldn’t see.
It hurt so much that Atticus grimaced and couldn’t help but start crying.
It so happened that their current location was so quiet and isolated that no one passed by. There was not a single soul to look at Atticus.
After a while, Catherine stopped and stared coldly at Atticus.
“Diplomatic crisis? You can try!”
Atticus was in research, and he had seen others playing shady tricks behind the scenes. He was good at playing such tricks himself.
But he had never been beaten up like what Catherine did to him.
He was screaming as he took the hits and was in so much pain that he could only breathe shallowly now to avoid moving his body.
“I’m sorry. I was wrong. I was wrong. Just let me go, and I promise I won’t say a word!”
Catherine had no intention of dealing with Atticus initially. After all, she did not even take him seriously.
But Atticus had been inquired about her endlessly since the exchange meeting. He wished he could find out all her information, find a way to threaten and use her for his own.
His actions were undoubtedly testing Branden’s bottom line.
If he was digging for information on the Duncan Corporation, Branden might not bother to pay attention to him.
But his investigation target was Catherine, and Branden naturally could not let him do whatever he wanted.
Catherine thought anyone who gave her man a hard time deserved to be beaten!
Catherine had always disdained shady tricks. Did she not know how to use those tricks?
No, it was not like that. It was simply because she did not bother to use them at all!
Why would she need to use such tricks when she could use her fists to solve issues?
Catherine stared coldly at Atticus, seemingly dissatisfied with his words.
There was only one outcome to Catherine’s dissatisfaction, and that was to continue what she had been doing!
The miserable cries rang out again, and Catherine gave Atticus a good beating again.
This time, Atticus was beaten so much that he could barely make a sound.
He did not have the strength to struggle anymore. He was on the ground, looking at Catherine with red eyes, and begged for mercy in a low voice.
“Please, stop it. I can’t take it anymore! I promise you everything you ask for!”
Since she has vented her anger, Catherine stood up straight and looked down at Atticus.
“You deserve a beating. Remember, I’ll beat you every time I see you from now on! You should pray hard that you’ll never meet me again!”
After Catherine finished speaking, she patted the dust on her hands away disdainfully and turned to leave.
Looking at Catherine’s back as she left, Atticus gritted his teeth in anger. He vowed to make Catherine pay.
Atticus’s assistant stepped forward timidly to help him only after confirming that Catherine had gone far away.
“Professor Sterling, let’s go back and contact our superiors. We must make her pay the price!”
In the eyes of the assistant, Catherine was a witch who knew witchcraft in this country. Not only so, she was cruel and violent.
She looked thin and weak, but her punches were stronger than an adult male’s. Atticus’ assistant felt that Catherine’s punch could knock down a COW.
Atticus was in so much pain that he could not even make a sound. After hearing the assistant’s advice, he could only nod silently in agreement.
All he wanted to do now was to go back and get some rest before contacting his superiors. He must give Catherine a serious punishment.
Those who dared to treat him like this must pay.
