Chapter 249 Blocked in the Alley

Paxton always felt that the atmosphere in the office was particularly depressing today, keeping him on

his toes and making him very when reporting things. cautious He was afraid that any careless action

would 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 the

loss 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

walked straight toward Korbin, who was playing.

He slowly stopped beside Korbin, bowed his head, and said in a lowered voice, “Mr. Swann, the man

isn’t dead, but his leg is broken!”

No one would have thought that the most elite bodyguard by Korbin’s side would actually disguise

himself 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

to cause the temperature around him to plummet, sending a chill down the spine of the person standing

beside him.

The caddie’s back visibly stiffened. He knew this matter was not done perfectly enough, and now that

he had 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 had

never 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 fault

for 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 time

ago not to be overconfident. Leonel has been highly valued by the old man for many years. Do you

really think 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

person who 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

cocky that 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, Korbin

didn’t want to attract any unwanted attention by making it a big deal. If the other party got serious and

found 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 be

waiting 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

wind occasionally blowing through the leaves. After a good while, Korbin finally spoke, “Let’s arrange

for someone 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, Branden

seemed to have really taken a liking to Catherine and had often gone out of his way to defend her.

Since Baldy 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,

and Korbin 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.

The difference 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 and

was 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 was

about the development of the game. The project with the Duncan Corporation had already reached the

second phase.

Catherine stopped her footsteps and took a look at the document. After memorizing the content, she

put her 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 up

askance 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 and

respectfully, “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 by

yourselves!”

Bryan froze and sized up Catherine carefully for a few moments. Seeing her indifferent and cold face,

he then 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? Why

do 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 they

left, Catherine walked home alone. Just as she walked into a secluded alley, the sound of hurried

footsteps came from behind her.

Catherine continued to walk forward with a calm face, and when she reached the middle of the alley,

she stopped in her tracks.

She looked sideways to see two men wearing black jackets with somewhat lewd looks standing at the

entrance of the alley, staring intently at her. On Catherine’s expressionless face, the corner of her

mouth hooked up into a very light sneer.

With her hands in her pockets and one foot out against a wall opposite, her entire body leaned

lethargically against the wall behind her. She didn’t take these two men seriously at all. At the other end

of 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 clothes

are still uniform and pleasant to look at.”

The four men sandwiched Catherine in the middle. They reached out and touched their ears, looking

like they should be receiving orders.

And by the time they lowered their hands, their eyes on Catherine became a bit harsh, and they kept

moving closer toward Catherine.

They didn’t rush forward because the feeling Catherine gave them was just too strange. They had been

in the field for so many years, but it was the first time that they had seen someone still acting so calmly

under such a scene.

More importantly, Catherine was still a young girl. It was the strangest thing. Although Catherine’s

background was unknown to them, her aura gave off a sense that she was not to be trifled with. The

four men 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. After

analyzing the situation, they decided to take direct action to complete the task set by the higher-ups.

The person in the lead shouted, ” Attack!”
