Chapter 399 Turn Back from the Wrong Path
Catherine’s imposing momentum stunned Korbin. He didn’t know what Catherine meant. While he wasin a daze, Catherine continued speaking.
“Since you don’t admit our relationship, of course I don’t need to admit you’re my father. In this case,please get out of the Swanns’!”
Korbin not only acted tyrannically in her house but also wanted to kill her. What on earth had she doneto make these people think she could be easily bullied?
“Brat, you finally said it, huh?” Korbin gnashed his teeth and grimaced in anger.
“I don’t know what trick you played to make your grandpa leave all the family assets to you. Now thatyou’ve got them, you’re going to retaliate against me, right?
“I’m the eldest son of the Swanns and you’re my daughter. Catherine, aren’t you afraid that others maycurse you behind your back?”
Apart from cursing Catherine, Korbin also complained about her to Branden.
“Branden, you’re the son of a big family anyway. How can the Duncans allow you to marry such awoman? After all, you’ve seen the fierce and wicked side of hers?”
“Hmph!” Branden couldn’t help laughing. He stared at Korbin with obvious mockery in his eyes. “Mr.Swann, you’re old now. You’d better not lose your temper easily. It’s bad for your health!
“I know Kathy well. She is gentle, pure, innocent, and occasionally stubborn. You’re her father. Don’tyou know her better than me?”
Korbin choked in anger and thought, ” How can Catherine be gentle and pure?”novelbin
He was rendered speechless by Branden’s words!
Korbin didn’t know whether Branden was actually blind or Catherine was so enchanting that evenBranden was captivated by her. Korbin gave a gasp of fury, thinking, ” Catherine is big trouble indeed!”
Catherine paid no attention to what Korbin said to her because she never cared about what outsidersthought of her.
However, Branden never allowed anyone to vilify Catherine. He threw to Korbin the materials that hadbeen brought here by Paxton.
“Since you have so many problems with Catherine, why don’t you take a look at these?”
Korbin settled his gaze on Branden and saw the latter look at him disdainfully with arched eyebrows. áhint of suspicion flashed through his mind.
“What’s this?”
“You’ll know after taking a look at it!”
Korbin unfolded the document and took a look at it. His heart sank instantly. After his assistant got intotrouble, he knew that what he had done couldn’t be concealed anymore. He didn’t expect that Brandenwould find so many things about him.
It seemed that the Duncans were really powerful. Korbin thought, “It turns out that Catherine haspiggybacked on the Duncans. No wonder she’s so tough now!”
He realized that his scheme had been exposed. So, he couldn’t bother to continue acting and decidedto go all out.
Korbin tossed the document onto the table randomly and arrogantly gazed at Catherine and Branden.
“Catherine, yes, it’s me who sent those people to get rid of you. So what? You brought Branden heretoday. Are you gonna question me with the power of the Duncans?”
“With the power of the Duncans?”
Catherine raised her head and sized up Korbin with a cold sneer. “Do I need that to deal with you?”
Her scornful and arrogant attitude could irritate anyone easily. Korbin was always a proud man.Despised by a girl now, how could he bear with it?
“Catherine, don’t get too arrogant! Do you think you’re invincible because you have the assets of theSwanns and are backed by the Duncans?
“You want this house. Fine, I’ll give it to you, but you should know you’ll beg me one day!”
Korbin showed a triumphant smile on his face. Now he didn’t mind falling out with Catherine. He hadbeen fully prepared.
He would make Catherine regret it and let her know the consequence of offending him. Catherineslowly got up and turned her neck. Then, she took a casual look at Branden.
Branden immediately took her hint and said to her gently, “You may go on. I’ll go out and get somefresh air. Let me know if anything.”
“Okay,” Catherine replied.
Branden stood up and walked out of the Swanns’.
Korbin didn’t understand why Catherine would suddenly let Branden leave them alone, but he couldfaintly feel that something seemed to be wrong with Catherine. After Branden got out, Catherine’s eyes
rested upon Korbin.
“Mr. Swann, am I tough now, or are you well prepared?”
Since Korbin didn’t admit Catherine was his daughter, why would she treat him as her father?
The smile on Korbin’s face froze at once. He looked Catherine up and down, seemingly trying to seethrough her trick.
“What do you mean? What on earth do you know?”
“Hmph. What do I know?” Catherine fiddled with her fingers randomly in a leisurely look. “Then youshould confess what on earth you have done first. Apart from the business with the Winfreds inOceanvile, what have you done to the Swann Corporation?
“Why don’t we discuss it a bit?”
Catherine slightly narrowed her eyes with a faint smile in her eyes and just stared at Korbin. Herseemingly innocent eyes contained a strong sense of oppression, making Korbin uncomfortable allover.
Korbin felt insecure as if he was being stripped naked at that moment. He kept sizing up Catherine andobserved her facial expression, trying to find out what she meant. He thought, “What on earth doesCatherine know?
“My cooperation with the Winfreds is confidential. How did she know that?
“Is it because of the Duncans again?
“The Duncans are terrifying and resentful. If Catherine handed over the Swann Corporation obediently,our relationship wouldn’t have become like this.
“Now that the Swanns and the Duncans are related by marriage, the situation shouldn’t be so serious.
“It’s all this girl’s fault. She is the bane against her parents indeed.
“My career has been ruined by her.”
Korbin said to Catherine, “Catherine, let me tell you. No matter what you know, you can’t change itanyway. You’d better apologize to me. Given that you’re my daughter, as long as you act obediently, Istill can offer you a well -off life and help you marry into the Duncans!”
Korbin gave Catherine the last warning. “Otherwise, without the powerful help of the Swanns, do youthink you can marry into the Duncans on your own or with Branden’s affection for you?”
He was born into a big family. He understood what those big families thought.
Once the Swanns behind Catherine got destroyed and he refused to admit that Catherine was hisdaughter, Catherine would finish.
She would become the bane, cast aside by all!
“You’d better turn back from the wrong path. Otherwise, I’ll immediately make a statement in thenewspaper to disown you!”
