Chapter 191 Favor

This plot twist caught everyone off guard. After all, they tried every possible means to send Catherine,

the jinx, to the army, not Johnathan, the precious little darling of the Swanns.

Everyone was freaking out, but Catherine remained calm as ever. She treated it as a hilarious comedy-

drama to pass the time. Johnathan became agitated and immediately retorted loudly, “No, I will not go!”

Adrien gave him a cold stare and said sternly, “I’m afraid you have no say in this!” Rachael knew her

son’s temperament well and quickly stopped Johnathan while asking for her mother’s help.

Donna loved her grandson too much to watch Johnathan suffer like that. She urgently told Adrien,

“Adrien, let’s discuss this later. Johnathan is still young.”

The astute Donna had grasped the situation. There was a glimmer of intelligence in her eyes. “No

wonder my clever daughter came back to seek my help. It seems that the jinx thrown into the

countryside by the Swanns was challenging to deal with.

“With a few words, she turned everything upside down,” she said inwardly. She gave a fake smile and

looked at everyone.

“Enough, let’s not talk about this now. Today is my birthday banquet, so everyone has to listen to me.

The dishes are getting cold. Let’s start eating!”

Upon seeing Donna take charge of the situation, the crowd took the initiative to step back. Donna

suddenly retreated without intending to target Catherine again because she realized that she had

underestimated Catherine. “This girl is much more shrewd than I had imagined,” she thought.

In the eyes of Donna, the reason why Catherine didn’t speak up and perform well before must be

because she was pretending to be a weakling but was secretly strong.

“If we continue to persist, judging from the current situation, it is possible that we may end up as the

losers. Might as well leave it as it is for now and make alternative plans later on,” she said inwardly.

Since Donna had made a decision, Rachael couldn’t push her anymore. Although she was angry inside

and felt like Catherine had escaped, she could only accept it temporarily to protect Johnathan.

Everyone spread out and took their seats. The birthday banquet officially began. Audrey was

concerned about the impact on Catherine. In her view, if she were the one being targeted, she would

probably hide away crying and not have the appetite to eat anything.

She comforted Catherine softly, saying, “Kathy, I know you’ve been wronged. It’s all because of

Johnathan being such a scoundrel. Luckily, you diffused the crisis smartly. Now, even Grandma knows

it was Johnathan causing trouble. Look, Grandma didn’t mention sending you to the army anymore.”

Catherine smiled slightly with a hint of mockery in her eerie expression.

“Grandmother saw through the truth, knowing I wasn’t in the wrong. Or was it that she saw how smart I

was and knew there was no way to get the upper hand?

“Everyone knows this very well, except for this silly girl, Audrey, who is still blinded by so-called family

ties and can’t clearly see the wickedness of this world,” she said inwardly. However, Catherine had no

intention of telling the truth to Audrey.

“Since I have the ability, why not keep this innocence and beauty for her?” she thought. Without more

drama caused by differing evil intentions, the birthday banquet went relatively smoothly, presenting a

wonderful and heartwarming scene of a family reunion as Donna was showered with birthday wishes

from all.

The banquet was almost over. Audrey didn’t dare to stay any longer. As soon as the meal ended, she

grabbed Catherine and wanted to leave.

Catherine was still staying at Audrey’s house, so she didn’t have to wait for Korbin and the others to

finish. She could leave with Audrey first. Then, the two of them went up to say goodbye to Enzo and

Donna and got ready to leave.

Audrey knew that Catherine was not talkative, so she took the initiative to speak for her. “Grandpa,

Grandma, I have a show to attend tomorrow. Catherine must also wake up early for class, so we will

leave first.”

Donna nodded calmly and said, “You two are thoughtful. Be careful on the road. Here are two gifts for

each of you. Catherine glanced at the two shabby gift boxes and could tell they didn’t contain many

precious things without even opening them.

Their gifts were quite pathetic compared to the splendid gift box Johnathan just received. However,

Audrey didn’t refuse because it was a gesture from the elders. It wouldn’t be polite to reject it. After

Audrey received it, Donna didn’t forget her identity as an elder and reminded her again before leaving.

“Audrey, you’re a lady of the Swanns. That job of yours isn’t going to get you anywhere. If you like it,

you can play for a bit. But once you’ve had your fun, settle down and wait for your father to arrange a

suitable marriage for you.”

Audrey’s face instantly turned ghastly pale, as if it had been drained of all color and resembled a sheet

of white paper. The sight of her pale face made Catherine feel a twinge of pity.

Catherine was well aware that Audrey treated her work in the entertainment industry as her career and

worked hard for it. However, Audrey did not expect that the outcome of her hard work would be

considered shameful in her elders’ eyes.

“That job of yours isn’t going to get you anywhere.

“If you like it, you can play for a bit.

“This old lady of the Langs really knows how to hit you where it hurts, not giving Audrey any face at all,”

said Catherine inwardly.

“Let’s go!”

She suddenly spoke up, bringing Audrey’s scattered rationality back. Audrey struggled to say goodbye

to the two elders and then followed Catherine to leave. Once they walked away, Donna couldn’t help

but complain to her husband.

“Rachael was right. This Catherine is really a troublemaker. Just look at her attitude. It’s infuriating.

“Even if she’s a troublemaker herself, she has led Audrey astray. Such a girl should stay in the

countryside for the rest of her life and never return.”

Enzo nodded approvingly as he watched the two walking away.

“It’s okay. It didn’t work this time. We’ll think of another solution next time. Since we sent her away back

then, we can still let her disappear now.”

Catherine and Audrey walked out of the Langs’ hall. When they reached the doorway, Audrey suddenly

remembered something.

“Kathy, I forgot to bring my handbag. Just wait here for me. I’ll go in and grab it real quick.”

After hearing what her grandmother said, Audrey was very upset. She left in a daze and even forgot to

take her bag. Before she even finished her words, Audrey rushed into the house in a fluster.

Looking at her panicking figure, Catherine shook her head helplessly. ” How on earth do I have such an

older sister? She’s always losing things and being disorganized,” she said inwardly.

Catherine withdrew her gaze. As she turned around, she noticed a flash of scarlet in the shadows of

the corner. She gazed intently at it for a couple of seconds before the person under scrutiny emerged

gradually from the dark corner.

Adrien hated the noise inside, so he hid in this dark corner to smoke. Countless people have passed

through here, but nobody noticed his presence except for this little girl in front of him. Adrien looked up

at her and revealed a playful smile on his solemn face.

“Girl, your eyes are quite sharp and observant.”

Catherine didn’t respond to him. She only gave him a cold glance with a hint of disdain. “Does he

seriously think he’s a Ninja Turtle who can make himself invisible?

“The smoke odor is so obvious. Am I stupid enough not to notice it?

“What’s the point of him saying these things?” she said inwardly. Adrien could see the contempt in

Catherine’s eyes, given that she was exposing her disdain blatantly.

Hurried footsteps approached as Adrien approached Catherine’s side and whispered, “No matter what,

you’re still my niece. Here’s my contact information. Call me if you need anything!

Catherine lowered her head and glanced at the business card that had been given to her. She glanced

at the name and looked up with a meaningful expression. She snorted contemptuously and casually

put the business card in her pocket.

As Catherine turned around, Audrey happened to return and lifted the bag in her hand, looking at her

happily. “Kathy, I found it! Let’s hit the road!”
