Female Novel
Chapter 209
Catherine’s face was expressionless as she said lazily, her tone cold and low, ” I’m not short of money.Besides, haven’t you already decided to save your son?”
Jameson finally understood Catherine’s meaning. He had never expected Catherine to have so muchpower. She was actually able to undo the financing that Blaton Group had struggled to get in just a fewminutes.
Even several of the most important project partners of Blaton Group had called Jameson, saying thatthey wanted to cancel their cooperation.
If all of this came true, then Blaton Group was considered to be completely finished. Catherine washolding Blaton Group by the throat and could make it collapse at any time.
Jameson was flustered. His arrogant face was now covered in cold sweat. ” Miss Swann, let’s discussthis further!”
Catherine didn’t even bother to look at him and was about to leave. Jameson wanted to block her way,but one look from Joseph scared Jameson to take a big step back. “He wasn’t someone to be messedwith! thought Jameson.
The quick-witted secretary quickly signaled to Jameson, who immediately reacted and kicked Aaron,who was still standing on the sidelines with a dumbfounded look. Aaron failed to stand still from hisfather’s kick and fell onto his knees steadily in front of Catherine.
Catherine stopped in her tracks, and Jameson politely stepped forward and apologized to Catherinewhile slapping Aaron.
“Miss Swann, just give us another chance, please!”
Aaron realized the gravity of the situation as well. He did not dare to speak and allowed his father toslap him. It was the first time in his life that he had seen his father being so groveling. Feeling as if hisapology alone wasn’t enough, he asked Zachary to help beg Catherine as well.
“Zachary, you’re on good terms with Miss Swann, right? Put some good words for me, okay? Thingsare negotiable, right?”
A wave of disgust surged through Zachary’s heart as he secretly cursed, ” You disliked me for beingnosy just now. But now you’re begging me to help! Who do you think you are? Do you think everyonehas to serve you guys?”
Now, he only felt grateful that he was smart enough not to bully Catherine along with them. Otherwise,the Lewises would also be implicated. Since he had already decided to break up with the Blatons, itwas impossible for Zachary to help them.
He reluctantly looked at Jameson. “Mr. Blaton, I’m sorry. I don’t know Miss Swann very well, and I don’treally have a say in front of Miss Swann.” His attitude was very humble.
Jameson knew that Aaron’s words just now had offended Zachary. So, he couldn’t say any more. Hecould only turn his head and continue to beg Catherine to give him another chance.
This matter kept reversing, and the attention of the crowd was focused on these guys. No one noticedthat three people were standing in the dark not far away, watching all of this.novelbin
Even if Joseph hadn’t made a move earlier, Paxton would have been the first to rush over. Tristonreceived a message about Catherine from Zachary, and he informed Branden at the first opportunity.
The trio arrived as fast as they could, just in time to run into the scene where Jameson mobilized hisbodyguards against Catherine. Paxton originally wanted to make a move, but he stopped when Josephsuddenly came out of nowhere.
Looking at Joseph’s somewhat familiar face, Triston pondered for a good while and said in surprise, “Iremember. Isn’t this the guy that Catherine dealt with on the day at Charm Bar? So, it’s Catherine’speople. He’s quite skilled.”
He finished with a look like he was waiting for Branden’s compliments. But Branden shot a cold andmerciless look at him, and he could only shut his mouth silently. Paxton stood by the side and asked ina low voice, “Sir, should we go over now?
Branden fixed his eyes in Catherine’s direction without saying anything. Getting no answer, Paxtonknew Branden had no intention of going over, so he remained standing in the darkness with Branden.
On the other side, Catherine finally reacted to Jameson’s begging. She looked down at Jameson andasked in a cold voice, “Regret? Want to have a talk?”
Catching a hint of hope, Jameson, who was so afraid of losing the opportunity, nodded his head in ahurry.
“Thank you for the opportunity, Miss Swann. Please name any conditions you have as long as we cankeep Blaton Group. Then, we can talk!”
“Okay!” Catherine readily agreed. Her smile was warm, but her eyes remained cold, deterring anyonefrom meeting her gaze. “The conditions are simple. Before, it was two legs. Now, it’s two legs plus ahand!” added Catherine. Jameson instantly froze, his eyes glaring.
Catherine, however, still looked at him with a smile as if she was doing him a favor. “I’ll take a loss andtake your left hand!”
Aaron panicked and tried to escape, but he failed because Jameson had him trapped. Now, he couldn’tcare about anything but crying for mercy. “Father, I’m your most precious son. Do you really want tosacrifice me for your benefit? I don’t want to be disabled. I don’t want it!”
Tears and snot were flowing down his face as he cried, a scene incomparably lousy and ridiculous.Jameson’s heart ached. As his son had said, Aaron was his most precious son, so how could he bearto see Aaron suffer?
But there was no way he could let Aaron off the hook. After all, if the Blaton Group collapsed,everything they had would be gone, and all those who they had once offended would take advantage ofthe opportunity to retaliate.
At that time, the fate of the Blatons would be sealed. The secretary whispered to remind Jameson fromthe side, “Mr. Blaton, you should be more decisive when you have to do so.”
Jameson had also been through the business world. When he heard this, a hint of ferocity flashedwithin his eyes. Gritting his teeth, he pushed Aaron in front of Catherine. His voice was trembling as hesaid, “I hope you’re true to your word!”
Catherine didn’t answer and coldly stared at the shivering Aaron on the ground. Aaron tried to escapebut was trapped by Joseph.
Catherine turned to Audrey and gestured for her to teach him a lesson. Audrey, however,subconsciously dodged back, intimidated by Catherine’s cold demeanor.
Kim stood by Audrey’s side and trembled with fear as well. At this moment, he finally understood whyAudrey had said Catherine’s attitude towards them was not cold. Compared to Catherine’s currentattitude, her earlier demeanor was warm and passionate.
Upon seeing Audrey step back in fear, Catherine sneered. She thought, “If she doesn’t want to get herhands dirty, then I’ll do it. Those who dare to touch my sister have to pay the price!”
Catherine took two steps forward and opened the trunk of the car. Inside was a set of golf clubs, whichsparkled in the moonlight like sharp knives. Catherine drew out a club and gently swung it twice in theair, and it was quite handy.
She dragged the golf club along the ground, producing an ear-piercing sound, and confidently strodetowards Aaron. Her posture was as leisurely as if she was about to play golf, but Aaron almost peed infear when he saw her eyes. He thought, “Her eyes were just too scary!”
The golf club gleamed like an icy blade. Catherine swung it in her hand and suddenly stopped itsmotion midway through the air. Aaron kept shaking his head, woefully begging for mercy. “Please don’t!I’m begging you!”
Catherine sneered, “I heard that you like visiting prostitutes, and the ordinary ones can’t get into youreyes, huh? Let me give you a hand!”
“Ah…” Aaron let out a miserable cry as the golf club made contact.
