Female Novel
Chapter 114
Catherine, with her tongue pressed against her cheek, let out a cold sneer. She didn’t even bother to lifther eyelids as she said, “You slapped her, and I want a whole company from you. That’s fair.”
This statement clearly left no room for negotiation.
A slap for a company was Catherine’s idea of fairness.
Bobby realized that trying to plead with Catherine was futile. He then shifted his gaze to Branden.
Branden was now the only one who could help Bobby. In Casier, no one dared to cross Branden. Hewas like a king in the shadows in Casier.
As long as Branden said a word for him, Bobby didn’t believe that Catherine could do anything to him.
“Mr. Duncan, I’m Bobby from the Coopers. As you know, the Coopers have some acquaintance withthe Duncans. And we’re currently working on a project together. Considering the reputation of both ourfamilies, can you lend me a hand today?”
Facing Bobby’s plea for help, Catherine chuckled softly. Then she pursed her lips and remained silent.
She thought inwardly, “He is just irredeemably foolish.”
Even if Bobby managed to bring the mightiest forces today, it couldn’t save him.
Hearing Bobby’s plea, Branden slowly raised his head. He stared at Bobby coldly.
“Mr. Duncan…” That look made Bobby feel like an invisible hand was choking his throat, which left himbreathless and speechless.
As Branden saw Bobby’s startled expression, he raised an eyebrow. Then he leaned casually
against the chair Catherine was sitting on. He nonchalantly said, “Mr. Cooper, you have connectionswith the Duncans. Do you know what kind of relationship she has with the Duncans?”
Branden pointed at Catherine.
Not only Bobby but everyone present was curious.
They all knew Branden was the investor behind this program and the ultimate financial supporter.
However, upon his arrival, Branden immediately interacted with Catherine. It was clear that theirrelationship wasn’t ordinary.
Bobby was left stunned by the question. He silently shook his head.
Paxton, who was standing beside Branden, stepped in to clarify the situation.
“Mr. Cooper, Miss Catherine is Mr. Duncan’s fiancée. You slapped Miss Audrey and wanted to beat
Miss Catherine, and now you want the Duncans to help you? Do you think that’s possible?”
Bobby was instantly stunned. Then, his face twisted in disbelief. Finally, he slumped to the ground inhelplessness.
At that moment, Bobby finally understood whom he had offended.
No wonder Catherine had such power. After all, she was Branden’s fiancée. Dealing with the Cooperswas a piece of cake for her.
Apart from Bobby, everyone in the room was taken aback by this revelation. No one had imagined thatCatherine and Audrey, who were from the Swanns and seemingly insignificant, had such a significantbackground.
Fear and unease filled the hearts of all present. After all, they hadn’t uttered a word for Audrey whenshe was humiliated earlier.
If the Swanns decided to hold a grudge, they would be in big trouble.
Peter’s face darkened. He wouldn’t have wasted his efforts if he had known Catherine and Audrey
had such powerful connections. He should have just tried to please the two of them.
Elliot turned his head to look at his mother’s embarrassed expression. And he couldn’t help but mock.
The reason Cindy had managed to stay relevant in the industry for so many years was because of
her shrewdness in protecting herself.
However, Cindy’s lack of breakthroughs over the years was also due to her excessive caution.
Bobby was dragged out by Paxton’s men. And from then on, the Coopers had fallen from grace.
The events of today had come to an end here.
Branden stared at Catherine. At that moment, when he looked at her, his originally cold, dark eyes
“Want to leave or stay here?” Branden asked.
The reason Branden had agreed to attend the evening banquet was to accompany Catherine out.
He hadn’t expected there would be such an incident in between.
Catherine had initially not intended to come. If she hadn’t received the last-minute message aboutAudrey being in danger, she wouldn’t have rushed over.
Now that things were settled, Catherine naturally wanted to leave.
Catherine stood up and stared at Audrey.
Audrey met Catherine’s gaze and immediately said, “Kathy, if you’re tired, you can go ahead. Don’tworry about me. I have Kim.”
After Catherine heard this, she turned to look at Audrey’s agent.
Kim hadn’t known about Catherine’s significant background. Catherine might not have been favoredwithin the Swanns. However, being officially acknowledged as Branden’s fiancée was enough for her tocommand respect in Casier.
Moreover, Catherine’s strength was considerable. When Catherine took action earlier, Kim wasshocked by her power.
As Kim sensed Catherine’s gaze, he shivered and quickly said, “Miss Swann, rest assured. I’ll takegood care of Audrey. I promise!”novelbin
His demeanor was almost like he was making an oath.
Catherine caught a glimpse of the marks on his clothes from being splashed with alcohol earlier. Thenshe didn’t say anything more.
Following Catherine’s gaze, Kim secretly felt lucky. Fortunately, he had strongly discouraged Bobbyearlier. Though Kim had suffered some humiliation, he had also protected Audrey.
This could be considered making up for his mistakes.
After all, it wasn’t that Kim didn’t want to protect Audrey. He was just an insignificant agent with
no background or influence. His abilities were limited.
After Catherine settled Audrey’s situation, she left directly.
Catherine didn’t inform Branden before leaving. She strode forward confidently and left gracefully infront of everyone.
Unlike those women who cling to the big shots, acting submissive and being the obedient girlfriend,Catherine was different.
Catherine wasn’t the one following Branden. It was Branden who followed her.
Catherine’s attitude was undoubtedly quite audacious.
The people present were stunned. After all, this man was Branden.
He was the current head of the Duncans.
As Catherine walked further away, it finally dawned on Kim and the others. Kim turned to look atAudrey with surprise in his eyes.
“Audrey, your sister has such a dominant attitude. You two sisters…”
Audrey knew what Kim was about to say. Even Audrey was astonished by Catherine’s behavior, letalone Kim.
Audrey replied, “There are differences among different people. So what’s the problem if there’s a slightgap between me and my sister?”
Kim thought inwardly, “Is that just a slight gap?”
Then Kim stared at Audrey with a strange expression.
Audrey admitted that she and Catherine were quite different. But Audrey and Catherine had grown upin different environments. The disparities in their upbringing were bound to lead to differences in theirpersonalities.
Not to mention comparing Audrey with Catherine, even though Audrey and Liana grew up under thesame roof, they were still worlds apart.
Kim thought of something and changed his expression slightly. He looked at Audrey seriously.
Then he asked, “You wouldn’t have some mysterious, influential fiancé you haven’t told me about,would you?”
“I don’t!” Audrey rolled her eyes at Kim and thought inwardly, “This man has a terrible memory. Did heforget that I was just dumped not long ago?
“Where can I find a boyfriend so quickly, let alone an influential fiancé?”
Kim nodded in relief. He was just shocked by the fact that Catherine’s fiancé was incredibly influential.
Kim thought inwardly, “If Audrey also has such a heavyweight fiancé, why bother staying in theentertainment industry? She can directly become a top-tier wealthy housewife.
