Chapter 28 Vicenteâs Study
Catherine had pushed open the door and gone inside. She paid no heed to Audreyâs astonishment. Catherineâs countenance did not change a bit at all.
Catherine designed the studyâs door lock when she was twelve years old. Even Vicenteâs iris was also registered by her. It was not surprising that she could open the door.
Watching Catherine swagger inside, Audrey, who had been curious about the study for a long time, was also intrigued.
Due to Vicenteâs previous order, she did not dare to enter the room. She hovered at the door and hesitated for a long time, making constant mental struggles.
Catherine was in the room for a while. When she noticed that Audrey was still standing at the door, she knitted her brows in confusion. âWhy donât you come in?â
A trace of embarrassment showed on Audreyâs face. She said carefully, âGrandpa said without his order, no one was allowed to enter this study!â
Catherine did not expect Audrey to say
that!
Why would she obey Vicenteâs order so submissively?
Catherine finally understood why the Swanns would bully Audrey.
Given Audreyâs character, of course, she would be kicked around.
âHe is already dead. Why do you care about the rules set by him? Come on in.â
Hearing Catherineâs bold words, Audrey rushed inside excitedly and reached out to cover her
mouth.
âKathy, you canât show disrespect to Grandpa.â
Catherine frowned even more heavily.
This was the first person to stay so close to Catherine and cover her mouth without her neck
breaking.
And what did Audrey call her?
Kathy?
A few seconds later, Audrey seemed to realize that she had been in the study. She was so
freaked out that she hastened to remove her hand from Catherineâs mouth.
âIâve got into the study. What should I do?â Audrey exclaimed.
Voenten Stil
Catherine glanced casually at her and replied, âWhat else can you do? Pay a visit to this place and watch it as long as you want to.â
She could not explain why she didnât punish Audrey for the latterâs offense. Maybe it was because that was not Audreyâs deliberate act.
Catherine picked up the remote control from the desk and turned on one of the monitors on
the wall.
Audrey originally meant to get out when she suddenly heard her motherâs voice from the monitor, which stopped her immediately. She turned her head and walked over there.
The monitor showed what was happening in the tearoom on the second floor.
This was the place where Rachael liked having afternoon tea at other times. It was Rachael and Liana who were displayed on the monitor.
Audrey was astounded to see that. She slowly paced back and stood by Catherineâs side.
Catherine did not turn her head. She knew that Audrey was back and then had a faint smile on
her beautiful face.
If Ronin were here now, he would definitely exclaim, âBoss is so beautiful! Especially when
she smiles!â
On the monitor, Lianaâs haughty face was filled with anger and resentment. She slammed the cup on the table heavily and lashed out at her mother.
âMommy, why did you stop me from persuading Daddy to punish that bane just now? Daddy has gone too far. He indulges her all the time. Look how unruly she has become!â Liana snapped.
She hated Catherine to the core because Catherineâs appearance made her the laughingstock of
all.
Liana did not get to inherit any of the Swannsâ assets. Worse still, everyone learned that she had a sister coming back from the countryside. Now, she was scorned by her friends.
Besides, Catherine was clearly bad luck, but she always acted like a princess with a cold look
Liana did not care about any of this. All she wanted was to kick Catherine out of the Swanns and get everything back on track by all means.
