Female Novel
Chapter 249
Paxton always felt that the atmosphere in the office was particularly depressing today, keeping him onhis toes and making him very when reporting things. cautious He was afraid that any careless actionwould offend Branden and bring trouble to himself.
“Sir, after checking it out, it should be Korbin’s secret guard team’s doing!”
Branden’s icy cold eyes instantly darkened, and boundless gloom seeped from the bottom of his eyes.“Arrange someone to protect Catherine!” Paxton immediately replied without any hesitation, “Will do!”
He was well aware of the position of Catherine in Branden’s heart. Any injury to Catherine, or even theloss of a single hair, would cause a storm of bloodshed in Casier.
At the most famous golf course on the outskirts of Casier, a caddie carried a huge work bag and walkedstraight toward Korbin, who was playing.
He slowly stopped beside Korbin, bowed his head, and said in a lowered voice, “Mr. Swann, the manisn’t dead, but his leg is broken!”
No one would have thought that the most elite bodyguard by Korbin’s side would actually disguisehimself as a caddie to report the situation to him.
Hearing the latest news, Korbin narrowed his eyes and gazed at the boundless green grass before him.A touch of gloom penetrated the bottom of his eyes, and his face was terrifyingly grim.
“This thing isn’t done beautifully, is it? His tone, obviously, was calm and gentle, but his words seemed tocause the temperature around him to plummet, sending a chill down the spine of the person standingbeside him.
The caddie’s back visibly stiffened. He knew this matter was not done perfectly enough, and now that hehad alerted the other party, it might spoil Korbin’s plan.
This time, he had to take the blame for being careless and making an error in judgment, but he hadnever expected a weak lawyer to have this kind of skill.
A murderous intent flashed within Baldy’s lowered eyes. He lowered his voice and said, “It’s all my faultfor being careless. How about I sneak inside the hospital tonight and directly kill him?”
“Humph!” Korbin snorted, his words dripping with great dissatisfaction. Baldy, I warned you a long timeago not to be overconfident. Leonel has been highly valued by the old man for many years. Do you reallythink he’s easy to deal with?”
Vicente was a ruthless man who had made his way out of Casier’s bloodshed back then, and the personwho could stay by his side for so many years was definitely not simple.
For this reason, Korbin assigned Baldy to the task, but he never thought that this idiot would be so cockythat he would almost ruin his plan.
It was no longer realistic to have someone go to the hospital to kill Leonel again. For one thing, Korbindidn’t want to attract any unwanted attention by making it a big deal. If the other party got serious andfound out about his involvement, it would cause more problems than it was worth.
For another, he was afraid that the other side had already realized something wrong and might bewaiting for him to step into their encirclement.
Baldy had been a bit too rushed just now, wanting to make up for his mistake, but now that he reacted,he knew that it wasn’t going to be an easy thing to do. “Mr. Swann, since it didn’t work on Leonel’s side,why don’t I try it on Catherine?”
Korbin didn’t give a direct reply, and the scene fell into silence, leaving only the rustling sound of the windoccasionally blowing through the leaves. After a good while, Korbin finally spoke, “Let’s arrange forsomeone to try it out first!”
Baldy froze for a moment, then responded, “Okay!”
Staring at Baldy’s departing back, Korbin fell into deep thought. From what Liana had said, Brandenseemed to have really taken a liking to Catherine and had often gone out of his way to defend her. SinceBaldy had already made a fuss, he’d better have Baldy probe the situation again.
If Branden really cared about Catherine’s affairs, then this matter would be much more troublesome, andKorbin would have to consider alternative approaches to take a long- term view of the situation.
The next day, Catherine walked out from inside the school as soon as the school bell rang as usual. Thedifference was that she was meeting up with Bryan and the others tonight to go to a barbecue.
Bryan had invited her to join him to try out a new barbecue restaurant that had just opened in town andwas very popular. Realizing that she hadn’t had a barbecue in a week, she agreed.
Just as she stepped out of the school gate, Catherine received a phone message from Ronin. It wasabout the development of the game. The project with the Duncan Corporation had already reached thesecond phase.
Catherine stopped her footsteps and took a look at the document. After memorizing the content, she puther cell phone in her pocket and prepared to leave.
Just as she looked up, Catherine felt a few unnatural lines of sight focusing on her. She glanced upaskance and noticed a few sneaky men, all locking eyes on her.
Bryan, seeing that Catherine was standing still, stepped forward to her side and inquired softly andrespectfully, “What’s going on, Boss?”
Catherine had her hands in her pockets and acted casual, her eyes darting over Bryan’s body.“Something came up for me at the moment. I won’t be going to the barbecue. You guys go byyourselves!”
Bryan froze and sized up Catherine carefully for a few moments. Seeing her indifferent and cold face, hethen reacted. “Okay, Boss. We’ll make another appointment then.”
Behind them, David and the others were still a bit confused. “Didn’t we agree to go to a barbecue? Whydo you change your mind? Bryan, you should try to persuade Catherine!”
Just as David finished his words, Bryan grabbed him by the collar and dragged him to leave. After theyleft, Catherine walked home alone. Just as she walked into a secluded alley, the sound of hurriedfootsteps came from behind her.
Catherine continued to walk forward with a calm face, and when she reached the middle of the alley, shestopped in her tracks.
She looked sideways to see two men wearing black jackets with somewhat lewd looks standing at theentrance of the alley, staring intently at her. On Catherine’s expressionless face, the corner of her mouthhooked up into a very light sneer.
With her hands in her pockets and one foot out against a wall opposite, her entire body leanedlethargically against the wall behind her. She didn’t take these two men seriously at all. At the other endof the alley, two more men, also wearing black jackets, appeared.
Catherine took a glance and said inwardly, “Not bad. They look quite professional. At least their clothesare still uniform and pleasant to look at.”
The four men sandwiched Catherine in the middle. They reached out and touched their ears, looking likethey should be receiving orders.novelbin
And by the time they lowered their hands, their eyes on Catherine became a bit harsh, and they keptmoving closer toward Catherine.
They didn’t rush forward because the feeling Catherine gave them was just too strange. They had beenin the field for so many years, but it was the first time that they had seen someone still acting so calmlyunder such a scene.
More importantly, Catherine was still a young girl. It was the strangest thing. Although Catherine’sbackground was unknown to them, her aura gave off a sense that she was not to be trifled with. The fourmen exchanged glances and slowly encircled Catherine.
They were four, and the other party was just a young girl, so they definitely had a chance to win. Afteranalyzing the situation, they decided to take direct action to complete the task set by the higher-ups.
The person in the lead shouted, ” Attack!”
